LED HEADLIGHTS OR XENON HEADLIGHTS, which one to install?
Xenon headlights vs LED headlights car:
Today when buying a car you have the possibility to choose it with xenon headlights or LED headlights, but would you know which one to choose?
Before Deciding about the new lighting system that we will install in our car we must take into account several factors:
Xenon headlights:
It takes more time in the market, so all failures are purified.
The spare of original xenon lights is expensive if you buy in the official house but if you buy white brand or zesfor is very cheap. There are several references of bulbs: D2s, D3s, D4s, d1s and d2r, and also each bulb can be purchased in different colors: 6000 k for White Xenon and 4300 k for warm white (normally series a car carries 4300 K)
The Xenon Lighthouse is composed of a xenon switchboard + A Xenon Bulb (by faro)
The duration of a xenon bulb is approximately 5 years. The switchboard should last a lifetime.
The Bi-Xenon System (Xenon in short and long) is very achieved because what it does is to move the projector of the optics to lift the beam of light, so this way is instant and does not make the car consume more watts .
The Xenon Lighthouse Bulb takes approximately 1-3 seconds to reach maximum power.
For each lighthouse only a xenon bulb is assembled.
For use it is necessary automatic height regulator and lavafaros.
LED headlights:
It is a system that carries on the market approximately 2 years so it is relatively new and can give problems in the future.
LED Light gives 100 % of the lumens instantly, this means that from the second '0' we will light the whole road.
A LED Light System is composed of a bulb and a circuit that can go directly inside the bulb.
The LED Bulb spare price is still unknown but if you melt a bulb of these you would have to change the whole led headlights because of its impossibility to remove it.
The consumption of LED Bulbs is lower and theoretically the duration is greater (although it depends a lot on the quality of the LED).
According to manufacturers, luminosity is even better than the xenon
The Color of the led is completely white (about 5000 k).
Normally each led lighthouse carries several led and long led bulbs so there is more risk of a failure.
For your use it is necessary automatic height regulator and no lavafaros needed.
What alternative is the one that suits me most?
Lighthouses Xenonexisten some factors that no one speaks of and those are the depth and amplitude. Doing tests we have seen a very clear pattern when we face a road. You really appreciate a big difference between the Xenon Lighthouse and the LED, and it is that the xenon lighthouse concentrates much more the light so it has much more depth, while the led lighthouse distributes better the light by seeing better the ditches and curves and having So greater amplitude. We have also noticed that the Xenon Lighthouse although it carries automatic height regulator, dazzles more the rest of drivers.
In conditions of fog or intense rain both the LED Lighthouse and the Xenon Lighthouse are not the most recommended as we dazzle ourselves. The Ideal for this type of climates is yellow-Vision Halogen Lights.
From Automotive Accessories, which lighthouse for the car we recommend?
We like the greatest road visibility so our favorite option is xenon xenon since at the time of truth is the one that has the greatest reach as much as the manufacturers say. The LED Lighthouse opens a lot and to see after a pronounced curve or visualize the road accounts is very well. This recommendation is for road, for city gives a little equal, but it's a matter of tastes.
On the other hand we bet on xenon as numerous manufacturers are investigating led laser technology because they have realized that only the led is a little short and they need more. This means that as soon as they have a LED Laser that can be homologated and function correctly, they will replace it by the current led and this will be obsolete so that getting a spare of it will be much more expensive and complicated.
What if our car doesn't have a xenon or led system equipped and we want to install one?
To Install Xenon or led equipment in a car that doesn't take it, the best thing is to install a Xenon Kit. These are more adapted for all car electronics and do not give any kind of problem as their reliability is absolute, and depending on whether our car is canbus or we will not be able to install a type of xenon or other kit.
