Halogen Bulbs
Halogen Bulb - These are
traditional bulbs that give out a yellowish/orange look & are
very cheap to replace. New cars still come with halogen bulbs as
standard but more
brighter halogen bulbs are widely available which can increase
visibility.
H.I.D
Headlights
H.I.D or
High-intensity discharge lamps also known as xenon have been
available for over 10 years & must be installed. Usually takes 10 seconds to fully brighten. HID.s are
harder to install than LEDs but you have various options from
colours & power to choose from. Just as its conterpart be
sure to get the road legal ones & always use a profesional
to install the xenon conversion kits. You will need to correct
the beam pattern after installation.
LED
Bulbs
Led Bulbs or Light Emitting Diodes -
These are newer than the HIDs. Some new cars have LED bulbs
installed as standard but for older model of cars you may
require a installation process or a upgrade. LEDs can last as
much as 10x more than the halogen bulbs. LEDs consume much less
power & are easier to install "plug and play" than HIDs.

Laser
Headlights
Laser beam headlights are a clear step forward in innovation in
light output. Being 4x more brighter than LEDs giving a viewing distance as much as
1500 feet
(457.2 metres.
Currently only a few cars have the laser high beam system
notably the BMW i8, Audi R8 & the new BMW 7 series. With further
vehicle
manufacturers
looking into this for the future of their cars.
