Light Your World With Xenon Headlamps!
Author: Matthew C. Keegan
Lighting has certainly changed over the years...for cars, that
is! No longer do drivers have to rely on halogen headlights as
Xenon lighting is coming into vogue. Nor do owners have to go
with stock tail lights, as European [or Altezza] lights are in
fashion. Even fog lights have come a long way, baby! Let's take
a look at the newest kid on the block, Xenon headlamps, and how
they can light up your world of driving.
If you could have a set of headlamps that produced twice the
light of Halogen bulbs while expending only half the power, that
would be a good thing, right? Yes it certainly would and that is
the idea behind Xenon headlamps which are fast gaining
acceptance as standard equipment on luxury vehicles from around
the world as well as finding their way on certain popular, mass
production vehicles too.
A key feature of Xenon headlamp technology is that they produce
a clear white light closer to natural daylight, which has been
proven to improve driver concentration. Lessened eye strain
means that drivers can do what they need to do best: get to
where they and their passengers are going, safely and securely.
Road markings and signs are easier to read with Xenon headlamps
compared to Halogen bulbs. Indeed, Xenon headlamps are a strong,
safety improvement as the field of vision for the driver
increases sharply, thereby improving reaction time in emergency
situations. Traveling along dark, unlit back roads can be a
safety hazard even in broad daylight. However, with Xenon
headlamps that buck you might have hit with your halogen-powered
car will enter your field of vision much sooner with Xenon
lights installed, allowing you to avoid potentially deadly
contact [for the buck definitely!]. Popular surveys reveal that
as much as 80% of all accidents occur because of poor visibility.
In European markets, cars with Xenon technology also come
equipped with a headlamp cleaning system to ensure optimum
visibility as well as an automatic leveling system to allow
limited swiveling of the headlamp projector as you turn your
vehicle. Some systems take Xenon technology one step further:
Xenon Dynamic Bending Light or DBL technology are special
headlamps that rotate the light beam according to the angle of
the steering wheel. Working in both high and low beam mode,
bi-Xenon headlamps help to enhance vision in wide curbs by up to
90%.
Naturally, Xenon technology is expensive and you cannot convert
halogen powered headlamps to Xenon or Xenon to bi-Xenon...yet.
However, some manufacturers are selling auxiliary lights that
can be added to your bumper to give you an alternative.
Of course, price is one factor why Xenon technology isn't yet
widespread. Even on luxury cars I have seen bi-Xenon headlamps
offered as an option, to the tune of $750 extra! As with all
technological advances, you can expect that some one, somewhere
is refining the technology - which hit the market in 1992 - in
order to bring Xenon headlamps to the masses. This is good news
for everyone as accidents associated with poor visibility should
begin to drop accordingly.

Consumer Update - The 2007 Shelby Mustang Cobra |
|
For an in-depth look at what consumer publications and opinions are saying about the 2007 Shelby Mustang Cobra, we searched the Internet high and low. What we found was that this car is on track to become the most popular and successful driving machine in history. Mustang enthusiasts are coming out of the woodwork and they are all buzzing about the return of the master Mustang Cobra designed by Carroll Shelby. After an up and down, and sometimes stormy absence, Carroll Shelby has teamed up with Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) once again. "I've worked with the SVT guys for several years now," says Shelby. "And I know they have the guts, the talent and the passion to deliver the best performance Mustangs ever." The target goal was to yield a unified rebirth of the consummate and most coveted Shelby Mustang Cobras from the glory days. The objective was not only accomplished, but far exceeded anyone’s expectations. It is now hailed as the most powerful factory-built Mustang in history,... |
