Your headlights will have a longer lifespan.

Consume less than half the amount of power than standard halogen Xenon fixtures are a newer product than halogen and the bulbs are advertised to operate at lower temperatures than halogen, but they still produce a lot of heat.

Whiter, brighter light output: the light is comparable to daylight research has proven this allows better concentration while driving.

Two to three times as much light compared to halogen lamps.

These are definitely the greatest advantages: With less engine power needed and a reduced amount of stress on the alternator, you gain more efficiency. Overall, the HID bulbs consume less power than their halogen counterparts.

However, once they are running, much less power is needed. There is a lot to gain when switching from halogen to xenon lights. Efficient At startup, HID headlights are going to use more energy than halogen lights. The xenon projecters have gotten a sharper cutoff and a better view and the HID Ballast has become more powerful and more stable than ever before. So the xenon technology already goes 20 years back.

#Xenon vs halogen series

The world's first series production low beam Xenon high-intensity discharge headlamps (Litronic, only low beam) were introduced on the BMW 750iL.

Xenon lights for cars were introduced in 1991.

#Xenon vs halogen upgrade

Time to throw out this old garbage and upgrade to those nice new xenon lights! So basically you are using a halogen technology that is more than 60 years old in your car that's average 6 years old. But it wasn't until 1955 that a engineer at Philips created the first halogen bulb that would be the standard for use in cars. What is more interesting to know is that the first halogen lights were build at General Electric in Nela Park, Ohio in 1953. How it works with the gas and the filament etc. We are not going to tell you the ins and outs of the halogen light. But how do we do that without braking the law? And how do we do that in such a way that your car still looks awesome? So it's a lot safer to be seen- and to see better in the dark. 'nearly half of all traffic-related fatalities occur in the dark, despite only 25% of traffic travelling during darkness' High light intensity with xenon car lights It offers more than twice the luminous intensity of an H7 halogen lamp It requires one third less electrical power. The US 'National Highway Traffic Safety Administration' states that But things have changed and what is really better? Halogen or xenon headlights? And who cares anyway, what difference does it makes? Well it makes a huge difference. As we grow up we have become accustomed to halogen lights in our vehicles.
