Vehicles come with different types of headlamps. While all these can handle the basic task of illuminating the road at nighttime, the various bulb options offer unique qualities and brightness levels. Halogen bulbs are the most common. They burn brightly and are relatively inexpensive, so they are cheap to replace. However, they are not as luminous as the next most-popular option: LED. This acronym, which is short for Light Emitting Diode, has powerful, white rays that illuminate farther down the road. They use less energy than their cheaper peer, but they cost quite a bit more to change.Â
Xenon (high-intensity discharge) units use gases and vaporized metals to create extremely bright light with very little energy. Like LED bulbs, they can be expensive. Luckily, they last for a long time. However, you may need to enlist the help of a service centre to help with replacement.Â
Newly-invented laser headlamps are brighter and more efficient than LED lights. However, they are costly, so only seen on luxury cars.Â
