Xenon lights as they are called are made from xenon gases found in the earth's atmosphere.  You have probably come across a car on dark stretch of road that you thought was high beaming you and thought it was just a rude motorist. In fact it probably may have just been a car with xenon lights installed instead of the regular halogen light bulbs.

This trend towards HID (high intensity discharge) lights is growing exponentially over the past few years. It seems now that almost every other car on the road has a pair of bright blue / purple tint lights. There is in fact a reason for their growing popularity. The Xenon bulbs offer great advantages over the standard automobile head lights that we are used to.

The first major advantage is that the xenon light bulbs have greater output of light. They are up to 3 times brighter than standard halogens. At night this is very crucial because the lack of visibility is the biggest cause of automobile accidents during night time driving. The second biggest advantage is that the viewing radius is increased up to 70 percent! Xenon light bulbs have 70% wider road coverage due to the fact they are brighter.

This will illuminate any blind spots on the road and especially would be useful in spotting any potential road-side hazards such as debris and/or animals on the road. With the whiter light with a blue tint on xenon headlights we are able to have clearer visibility on the road. The whiter light penetrates darkness better than the yellow halogen light and as a result we are able to see better in tougher weather conditions like rain and fog.

The best benefits of xenon HID lights are the most obvious direct benefits that they offer. They are a lot more durable than halogen lights. They can withstand a greater amount of vibration and shock from the road due to there being no filament.

There is also much greater life span. Xenon gas will last up to 10 years; this is about 3 times longer than halogen. As an end result this will save us money and any trouble dealing with a blown out light at night. Of course with a light that is 3 times as bright you may think that it also consumes 3 times as much power...Wrong! Xenon lights consume 25% less power than standard headlights and produce 25% more light.
