Lighting has certainly changed over the years...for automobiles, that is! No longer do drivers have to rely on halogen headlights as Xenon lighting is coming into vogue. Nor do owners have to go with stock tail lights, as European [or Altezza] lights are in style. Even fog lights have come a long way, baby! Lets take a look at the newest kid on the block, Xenon headlamps, and how they can light up your globe of driving.

If you could have a set of headlamps that produced twice the light of Halogen bulbs although expending only half the power, that would be a very good factor, right? Yes it definitely would and that is the idea behind Xenon headlamps which are rapidly gaining acceptance as normal equipment on luxury autos from about the globe as well as discovering their way on certain well-known, mass production autos too.

A crucial feature of Xenon headlamp technology is that they create a clear white light closer to all-natural daylight, which has been verified to increase driver concentration. Lessened eye strain signifies that drivers can do what they want to do very best: get to exactly where they and their passengers are going, safely and securely.

Road markings and indicators are less difficult to read with Xenon headlamps compared to Halogen bulbs. Indeed, Xenon headlamps are a strong, safety improvement as the field of vision for the driver increases sharply, thereby improving reaction time in emergency scenarios. Traveling along dark, unlit back roads can be a security hazard even in broad daylight. However, with Xenon headlamps that buck you may have hit with your halogen-powered vehicle will enter your field of vision significantly sooner with Xenon lights installed, allowing you to steer clear of potentially deadly contact [for the buck undoubtedly!]. Common surveys reveal that as a lot as 80% of all accidents take place simply because of poor visibility.

In European markets, automobiles with Xenon technologies also come equipped with a headlamp cleaning technique to guarantee optimum visibility as effectively as an automatic leveling system to permit restricted swiveling of the headlamp projector as you turn your car. Some systems take Xenon technologies 1 step further: Xenon Dynamic Bending Light or DBL technology are particular headlamps that rotate the light beam according to the angle of the steering wheel. Operating in each high and low beam mode, bi-Xenon headlamps support to improve vision in wide curbs by up to 90%.

Naturally, Xenon technologies is expensive and you can not convert halogen powered headlamps to Xenon or Xenon to bi-Xenon...yet. Nevertheless, some manufacturers are promoting auxiliary lights that can be added to your bumper to give you an alternative.

Of course, value is one element why Xenon technologies isnt however widespread. Even on luxury vehicles I have observed bi-Xenon headlamps offered as an choice, to the tune of $750 additional! As with all technological advances, you can expect that some a single, somewhere is refining the technologies which hit the market place in 1992  in order to bring Xenon headlamps to the masses. This is very good news for everybody as accidents connected with poor visibility should begin to drop accordingly.
