Headlights

Headlights (more commonly known as headlamps) are available in three different light-producing technologies: tungsten, HID, and LED. The technology has come a long way and continues to improve.

Halogen technology makes tungsten filaments better producers of light. Replaceable halogen bulbs were permitted in U.S. headlights in 1983. Development of U.S. bulbs continue to favor long bulb life and low power consumption, while European headlights design continue to prioritize optical precision and maximum output.

HID (high intensity discharge) bulbs cause a high level of glare to other motorists and, in the past, were made using the toxic heavy metal mercury. Newer HID bulbs aren’t made with mercury, but neither are they electrically or physically compatible with headlamps designed for previous bulb types.

LED (light-emitting diode) bulbs have been undergoing active development since 2004. Currently, they require large packaging and the strongest emitter available. LED bulbs are still cost-prohibitive, but they are meant to soon surpass HID headlights
