    To be honest, I hate to see the xenon headlights on the road, and the city doesn't need to turn on the headlights at all, and it's cool for you to turn on the lights, but it's not good for safety, just like why turn on the fog lights on a rainy and foggy day?

    It is to be able to clearly see you to avoid accidents, install xenon lamps, others see you, but you shake so that others can not see the road (front), if you turn on the xenon lamps behind others, the car in front will definitely react, as for the reaction is positive or negative It is difficult to say, it is not good to have a sudden brake to let you rear-end.

    Hmph, this has happened, the Cherokee who changed the steel bumper, are you afraid?

    If the car behind me had the xenon headlights, I would have slowed down.

    Xenon lamps, which can do more harm than good.

    It is not recommended to install it in the city.。。 Not necessarily. It's a lot of meters.

    I do xenon lamp wholesale. But I think the current hungry technology is not mature, including Philips. And ** inflated, there are a lot of cars that are not suitable for installation, and they are also installed, and there are a lot of first ones, so I will tell you a few tricks.

    1. Lumens should be high. That's the key. Do not exceed 5400 color temperature

    The original cars are equipped with 4500, like Mercedes-Benz. 2。If you are not satisfied, you must return it, otherwise don't pretend.

    3,**Control within 1200, or be blackened. 01089173802..

    I installed EOS xenon lamps two years ago and the performance is still very stable.

    1. Different definitions:

    The xenon lamp needs tens of thousands of volts of high voltage to start, and the moment the xenon lamp power is turned on, the ballast instantly boosts the 12V voltage on the car to 23000V, and uses this high-intensity voltage to activate the HID bulb to produce strong light between the two poles, so that the bulb achieves high brightness illumination.

    The decoder is mainly to adapt to the problems of incompatibility with the original car driving computer after modification, such as the headlights are not lit, the driving computer alarm, and the automatic headlights are ineffective with the vehicle steering.

    Second, the role is different:

    The brightness of the car's xenon headlights is increased by 300%, illuminating brighter, wider and farther, not letting go of any dark corner. Long service life halogen lamp is the use of tungsten filament to emit light, tungsten filament in a long time of high heat, easy to evaporate fuse, and because the xenon headlamp has no tungsten filament, so there is no tungsten filament fracture problem, the service life can be about 2000-3000 hours.

    A decoder is a resistive or capacitive element on the power supply side. On the 12V side of the ballast, the string is in the loop, the purpose is to prevent the driving computer from alarming.

    Third, the principle is different:

    The safety xenon lamp works still when thrown in water, and will not burst due to factors such as soaking in water or water vapor.

    Different cars have different decoders, mainly to deal with the lack of power of xenon lamps and interference with the driving computer, the decoder is a small square box, generally made of plastic. Because a small number of models of the original headlight control circuit is controlled by the driving computer, the working principle and working current of xenon headlights are different from halogen lamps.

    HID is the English abbreviation of High Intensity Discharge High Pressure Gas Discharge Lamp, which can be called heavy metal lamp or xenon lamp. Its principle is to fill a variety of chemical gases in the UV-cut anti-ultraviolet crystal quartz glass tube, most of which are inert gases such as xenon and iodide, and then through the supercharger (ballast) the 12 volts DC voltage on the car is instantly boosted to 23000 volts of current, and the xenon electrons in the quartz tube are excited by the high-voltage amplitude to generate a light source between the two electrodes, which is the so-called gas discharge. The white super arc light produced by xenon can increase the color temperature value of the light, similar to the daytime solar rays, and the current required for HID operation is only three times brighter than that of traditional halogen bulbs, and the service life is 10 times longer than that of traditional halogen bulbs.

    At present, the demand for HID xenon lamps in Europe is growing at a rate of 13 per year, and in Japan, middle and high-end cars are installed with HID xenon headlights, while in Hong Kong, this kind of xenon lamps are more popular, and only top cars such as Audi A6 and Passat are currently installed with HID xenon headlights. In 2001, more than 14 million sets of HID xenon lamps were used in the world, of which the demand in the United States and Japan is rising, ranking the top two in the world. It is expected that in the next two or three years, the number of domestic cars equipped with xenon lamps will increase significantly.

    Experts**, in six years (i.e. 2008), 21% (4.8 million units) of new cars in Europe and 40% (3.8 million) in Japan will be equipped with HID xenon lamps. HID xenon lamps can be used not only for vehicle headlight lighting, but also for fire emergency lighting systems, military and police field lighting, ship night navigation systems, locomotive lighting, industrial building night main lighting, civil light portable outdoor lighting and so on. The general trend of HID xenon lamps replacing halogen lamps will become a new trend in the 21st century.

    In layman's terms, xenon lamps are energy-efficient and brighter than ordinary bulbs, but they cost more when installing.

    The color temperature of general halogen lamps is usually between 3200K-3800K, and the color temperature range of HID xenon lamps is larger, usually between 3000K-12000K or even higher. In the context of the HID modification market is booming, many HID products are mixed. Netizens applauded and scolded HID for pretending to HID.

    The main reason for this is that many people do not know about HID, and under the wrong guidance of some merchants, they have misunderstandings about HID. Usually, when merchants sell, they instill in customers that "the higher the color temperature, the brighter it is", and mislead customers to install HIDs with a color temperature of more than 6000K or even 12000K. After installation, the customer felt that the lights were much whiter than before the modification, and thought they were very effective, but in fact, they were not.

    Sit in the cab and look outside, and you will find that it is white. Especially on rainy and foggy days, the white light in front is basically absorbed by the road surface and nothing can be seen clearly, and the danger index is greatly increased. This is contrary to the original intention of installing HID to improve driving safety, not only is it unsafe to drive, but also makes the other party's oncoming car unbearable from white light.

    Influenced by the trend of modifying HID in foreign countries and the independent hobbies of car fans and friends, the momentum of modifying HID is increasing in China. However, due to the ignorance of fans and friends about HID, and the irresponsibility of merchants, there are many hidden dangers in the market for modifying HID. How do you make the right way to modify your HID?

    Let's take a look at how to properly modify the HID xenon lamp to improve the safety of driving at night without interfering with the other party's driving. Suggestions for correctly guiding the benign development of the HID market: 1. Choose the correct color temperature of HID.

    The color temperature of xenon lamps ranges from 3000K to 12000K, of which 6000K has a color temperature similar to sunlight, but contains more green and blue components, so it appears blue-white light. This blue-white light greatly increases the brightness of road signs and signs, so it is recommended to use bulbs with a color temperature of 4300 0 2 0 2-6000k. Qualified car owners try to install lenses to minimize the impact on oncoming cars.

    Never turn on high lights when driving on roads that don't require high lights. 2. Consult technical personnel according to the model during installation. You can't blindly choose according to your hobbies, you have to choose a xenon lamp that matches your model, and the one that suits you is the best.

    3. Take care of the lights and obey the traffic rules. It can't be focused on fashion and prestige. Safety should be a top priority.

    Use xenon lamps correctly and focus on safety.

    1.Foggy days and rainy days are not very good, and the color temperature of 3000k may be better.

    2.According to the specification, 35W and 55W are usually used. But the actual power will be a little higher, about 10W larger. It may be the loss of the ballast.

    3.The wick can be replaced, but the wick is durable, the main easy to burn is the stabilizer, and the price is also the most expensive.

    Pros: Bright enough at night on a sunny day. It is better to run often at night and without street lights.

    Cons: 1It consumes a little more electricity than ordinary halogen lights, and if it is a miscellaneous motorcycle, you should be careful whether the generator can afford it.

    2.The ballast (ballast) should be selected a little better, and the quality should be replaced in about a year. The price is expensive, so think twice before buying!!

    Xenon lamps don't need to be explained, automatic sensing is a light sensor, which automatically adjusts the lights according to the external light intensity, which is more useful when entering the tunnel.

    In terms of scoring two parts, HID xenon is what is now called xenon lamp, which is brighter than ordinary halogen lamps. The automatic headlight sensing system controls the car's lighting system based on the brightness of the light outside.

The power is 35 watts, but when it starts, the current is very large, the power is also very large, and when the brightness and temperature rise, the current is small, the single headlights of the motorcycle are 35 watts, how many headlights is your car? How do you want to install two? If the original car is a double headlight, it can be used, if not, then it can't be used, if you have any questions, you can ask me for help.
