Kit Lenses
Xenon lamps have been around for several years, and for drivers who have used the benefits are clear. They are able to see farther and more clearly in the dark and react to potential hazards before. Unfortunately there are still many queries on the use, assembly and legality of these bulbs, so here is a simple guide to help you separate fact from fiction.
Xenon bulbs discolour plastic lenses Headlight
Fake. The glass section of a Xenon bulb has an ultraviolet (UV) filter, it blocks any UV rays damage the plastic and the media that are completely safe to use, even if your car has plastic lenses.
The higher the color temperature of the hotter the bulb It becomes
Fake. You will often auto xenon bulbs marked with a color temperature, measured in degrees Kelvin (K), for example, a bulb headlamps can be said to 6000K or 8000K. These color temperatures are not related to the heat emitted by a xenon bulb, in fact, the number of Kelvin is used to Describe the type of colored light bulb of the lamp output. For example, 6000K xenon bulb emits a pure white light while a 8000K has a blue tint to it. The temperature at which a xenon bulb operates is stable for all color temperatures, so that you can buy every time the color you like without worrying about the merger of the headlights.
The higher the color temperature the brighter the light
Fake. When you look at a chart showing the level of illumination a xenon bulb provides when compared to the color temperature, you will see that the higher the color temperature of less light bulb emits really. In fact, the loss light is not linear, so even 6500K light bulbs emit is quite similar, however, as they get higher, above 8500K, the emitted light starts to fall and then drops very dramatically. So if you are buying your car xenon bulbs for performance bulbs stick to around the level of 6000K, while if you are choosing your bulbs to resemble the look of color, the greater the color spectrum to be less light that will provide.
Lamps xenon last longer than normal Halogen
True and False. Sorry to be vague on the answer to this question, but because there are two types of xenon bulbs. The first type is called High Intensity Discharge (HID) bulbs, which first appeared in the cars of prestige and are easy to spot, since the flicker slightly while light and produce a clear and powerful light that often has a blue color around. Unable to install HID bulbs in a vehicle that is equipped with halogen headlights standard. The second type of car bulbs are xenon lamps, xenon upgrade, and these bulbs are direct replacements for halogen headlight bulbs and produce up to 90% more than ordinary halogen light. In terms of the halogen bulbs last normal life around 350-400 hours, lighting HID last about 3000 hours and upgrade xenon car bulbs last for 250-300 hours.
Xenon HID Kits are legal on the road
Fake. HID Xenon Kits, also known as Xenon Conversion Kits are a way to install full HID xenon lights on a vehicle that only has halogen headlights normally installed. Using a vehicle that has had a HID kit installation on public roads is illegal, and the Department of Transport are very clear on this issue, stating that you are not permitted to convert an existing halogen headlamp unit to one that use HID xenon bulbs. The only legal way to upgrade headlights Xenon HID Halogen is to contact the manufacturer of your vehicle and see if they can install a HID retro complete, including the headlights units. However, be aware that the cost of this facility is normally very high.
