Technology has come with all sorts of innovations and the car’s lighting system has not been left out. It is one area that has benefited and in a big way.
Gone are the days when you could only choose from the factory made halogen lamps.
The market now has a line of night vision and daytime lights including bi-xenons.
However, they are limited in scope and are not available in old cars but they can be obtained if the car was sourced from the right after sales markets.
Popular among the new light models are euro headlights that are, unlike older models, stylish and come in all shapes.
The lighting system that includes the reflectors are arranged in a stylish array on a black or chrome base, which is covered by a clear or smoke lens.
Some contain conventional parabolic headlight reflectors with stylish bulbs or projector headlights with halogen, HID or LED bulbs.
The headlights may be surrounded with halos with an enclosure that may include LED running lights as well as red or yellow side reflectors.
Projector headlight refers to the actual headlight fixture within the headlight housing.
In a projector headlight, the bulb is positioned infront of an elliptical-shaped reflector.
Where a conventional parabolic type reflector reflects light outward in a dispersed pattern, the elliptical reflector reflects the light toward a single focal point in front of the bulb.
Projector headlights produce a sharper, more focused beam of light with less scatter, which makes driving in darkness safer.
Many projector headlights are surrounded by halos, also known as “angel eyes” or “demon eyes”. These are rings of light that can be illuminated along with the headlights or used as running lights when the headlights are off.
There are several methods of illumination; basic halos, where a LED bulb is used to illuminate the entire ring and a ring that is made up of a chain of LED bulbs to provide brighter view.
For centuries, lamps have been used as a practical means of illumination only. Today, light also serves as the source of style.
When it comes to automotive lighting, it all boils down to quality. However, the best thing about LED lights is they are easy to install.
Upgrade your lights
Quality LED lights are a small and easy upgrade that drastically enhances the style of any car. LED lights not only provide you with improved night vision but add value to your car characterised by a stylish maneuver.
Pricing depends on the type of lights and brand so there cannot be a specific price for all. However, a google search will give the best options available on the market.
