XENON HID lamps do not have a filament. Instead the light is created
by an electrical discharge between two electrodes in an air tight tiny quartz capsule filled with xenon gas, mercury and metal halide salts. This improves durability as road vibrations can cause damage to coil lighting technologies. These light sources also produce a blue-white light that is safer because it is closer to natural daylight. The color temperature is approximately 4200 K compared to 3200 K for halogen. The increased light output from a 35 watt XENON HID lamp is approximately 80% more light then a 55 watt halogen bulb. The XENON HID system will also draw less power from your vehicles electrical system.
While driving at night, there is nothing more important than being able to see where one is going. HID lights help in overcoming severe driving conditions by providing between two to three times more light than halogen lamps. This higher light output is put to very good use, improving both light intensity and light distribution on the road, thereby widening the field of vision for earlier recognition of people and objects. An additional benefit is that the brilliant white light is reflected much better by road markings and signs which makes for more confident driving in bad weather conditions and at night.
