HID Sealed Beam Headlights<\/strong> first started being utilized in the early 1990\u2032s by BMW, initially in its high-end 7-series models and finally trickling down to their cheaper models. As anyone who has driven HID Sealed Beam Headlights<\/em>-equipped cars can attest, hi intensity lights<\/strong> provide vastly improved visibility for night and bad-weather driving. But while having a much brighter light drew no complaints from the people driving the cars, other motorists did complain about the increased glare from the much brighter HID sealed beam headlights.<\/p>\n Thus, hi intensity lights<\/em> lens designs were modified to provide a sharper cutoff, and leveling systems (to correct for vehicle load and attitude) were introduced to keep the light where it should be \u2014 on the road. As is apparent as soon as you hit the light switch, the obvious advantage of HID Sealed Beam Headlights<\/span> lighting is the much greater light output. Hi Intensity Lights<\/span> provide as much as three times light output over the standard 55 watt halogen headlamps.<\/p>\n For people suffering from poor visibility when driving at night, this is a crucial, life-saving difference. The longer and wider throw of HID Sealed Beam Headlights provide a much larger margin for spotting obstacles or road dangers. Lack of visibility is the most often cited cause of accidents in night driving, and apart from the seeing farther, hi intensity headlights increases the visibility radius by up to 70 percent. But as we\u2019ve mentioned, the wider radius can cause glare to oncoming motorists. This is the reason for lenses being designed for hi intensity headlights.<\/p>\n Apart from these readily apparent advantages, hi intensity headlights, or at least the ones that come from the well-established manufacturers, last many times longer than halogen bulbs. This improved longevity comes mainly from the lack of a filament in a HID sealed beam headlights bulb. The filament, which has been a component of mainstream bulbs ever since the light bulb was invented, is subject to burnout and vibration. Since a hi intensity headlights bulb is fired by a Xenon gas arcing inside the glass, there is no filament to burn out or cut due vibration. Although the Xenon gas inside a bulb will theoretically last up to 10 years, HID sealed beam headlights will realistically have a life of 2,000 hours, more or less.<\/p>\n Now, if you think that Xenon bulbs, due to their greater intensity, will use up much more power, that is not the case. Early adopters of HID sealed beam headlights conversions were surprised that replacement bulbs were actually rated at around 35 watts. So, while giving off three times more light, hi intensity headlights actually consume 25% less electricity compared to halogen bulbs.<\/p>\n Although currently advertised as Xenon headlamps, automotive HID sealed beam headlights could be more accurately described as metal-halide lamps. But since metal-halide bulbs require up to 30 seconds to fully vaporize the sodium and scandium elements needed to reach full light intensity, xenon gas is used to provide light as soon as the user switches the HID sealed beam headlights on.<\/p>\n Otherwise, waiting half a minute just to be able to drive away would make these hi intensity headlights grossly impractical. When considering a retrofit hi intensity headlights system for your car, bear in mind that the bulb itself is normally longer than the halogen bulb it replaces. There is also the ballast system to consider, which should be placed close the bulb. Once installed, it\u2019s good and responsible practice to check the alignment of your hi intensity headlights, so that the increased output causes minimum glare to oncoming motorists.<\/p>\n HID Sealed Beam Headlights HID Sealed Beam Headlights first started being utilized in the early 1990\u2032s by BMW, initially in its high-end 7-series models and finally trickling down to their cheaper models.
