HID Headlights

Headlights are an essential part of every vehicle moving on the road. You can't drive a car without all of your lights working perfectly well - not only in the dark and when turning, but also in certain weather conditions such as fog and other situations as well. Therefore keeping headlights in order is every driver's responsibility, and they must always remember about it.

A headlight is a lamp (usually a pair) with a bright light set to a vehicle from the front with a purpose of lighting the road. With time its performance has significantly improved due to the tangible difference between the mortality rate on the roads in daylight and nightlight. According to Wikipedia, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration claims that around 50% of all the deaths caused by the road accidents take place at night, although only 25% of all the drivers travel when it's dark.

A xenon headlight is actually an automotive HID (high-intensity discharge) lamp which is, in fact a metal-halide lamp containing xenon gas. This type of gas lets the lamp produce very little of sufficient light once the car starts, and decreases the run-up time. HID lamps are often called gas-discharge burners and their performance is higher than the one of tungsten lamps. Moreover, HID headlights can be produced in a smaller size than halogen headlights due to the extended amounts of light that HID headlights can provide in relation to halogen lamps. So, in case the xenon headlight is made in a bigger size, it produces a more powerful beam of light.

In comparison with other headlights, HID headlamps are very bright -they are 3-5 times brighter than halogen headlights. HID lights are also much more powerful - 35W against 55W coming from halogen lights. They endure a more extended period of time (normally around two thousand hours which is 2 to 4 times of a halogen light's 'lifetime'). In addition, the light produced by HID headlights is very close to natural day light. The color temperature of HID lights is 4200K whereas sunlight is 5800K, and halogen - only 3300K.
