Headlight Bulbs Explained

 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. Giving a clear white light instantly.

 

 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.
