Xenon H.I.D. lighting

Xenon H.I.D. (high intensity discharge) lighting is the next generation of lighting and has recently been developed to increase lighting output but without the increase in power needed only consuming 35watts compared to 55watts of a Halogen bulb.

This amazing lighting upgrade can cost up to £1000 as a main dealer upgrade and if your vehicle is older there is no chance of this upgrade but the upgrades are now available in conversion kits which are as easy as changing a light bulb.

As you can see xenon lighting is far superior to halogen producing a white/blue-ish light compared to the yellow light of halogen.

Xenon lighting is 3 times brighter than halogen yet only uses 35W compared to 55W of halogen. The light colour produced is 6500 Kelvin which is similar to daylight thus enhancing awareness of the road ahead and illuminating road signs and cats-eyes like never before. The beam is more powerful and therefore projects further giving you more reaction time to any oncoming hazards. 

You may have good tyres, good brakes and quick reflexes but they are 

no good if you can't see what's coming
