Xenon high-intensity-discharge headlights have bulbs, but unlike halogen lights, they don’t have filaments so they tend to last longer than halogens but not as long as LEDs. They use less - AFS headlights(the B8 and B8.5 are the same just different between AFS and non) - AFS range control module to replace non AFS range control module-New connector housing for that - Repin said range control module - add front level sensor for left front suspension - run wires from level sensor to range control - add ground to pin 14 at There should only be 2 types of headlights for Saab new 9-3, which are xenon and standard halogen. Xenon lights are referred as bi-xenon since xenon light is used for both low and high beam. It's still the same xenon bulb, but different beam is made with a shutter. Even if a car has xenon lights there's still H7 high beams to make high beams Xenon Headlights. Xenon, HID, or high-intensity-discharge headlights have bulbs but no filaments and tend to last longer than halogens but fall a little short compared to LEDs. They use less energy than halogens but more than LEDs. They also tend to become hotter much quicker and become dimmer over time. When this colour is added to halogen bulbs, it can cause the bulb to appear duller. Unlike the crisp, white-blue light of xenon HID, white/blue halogen bulbs are simply just lights that have been tinted. In most cases, these are not road-legal. As a rule of thumb, any halogen bulb with a colour temperature over 4200K is most likely non-road legal. Krypton and xenon are heavy atoms when compared to other noble gases. Krypton has an atomic mass of 84 amu, while xenon has an atomic mass of 131 amu, making it the heaviest of the stable noble gases (radon undergoes radioactive decay, with a half-life of less than 4 days). With sputter deposition, this heavier mass comes into play. bi-xenon means the low and high beams are both HID lights. people use xenon, HID, litronics interchangeably. the most accurate way to refer to these systems is HID lights. or you can use what porsche calls 'em litronics. porsche's litronics aren't even the best in the industry. the s2000 has a great HID system. but this is hair splitting. American, Xenon (S522A) Left: 63126912439 Right: 63126912440. Note that these are for cars with Xenon lights (option S522A), non-xenon cars will need different, slightly less expensive housings. If you’re facelifting xenon lights, you can re-use your existing ballasts. The new lights come with new bulbs, but not the ballasts. BlimeyCabrio Oscar Goldman of MINIs. The early first gen xenons were not projector headlights. Not much you can do with them other than replace. The later first gen xenons are true projectors for the low beams, still halogen high beams, but are pretty effective. I believe you can retrofit them, but it's not cheap. When the driver switches between main and dipped beam headlights, the reflectors adjust the angle of the light. Some bi-xenon headlights use shields instead of reflectors. These shields block light when dipped beams are in use. They lift up to allow more light for the main beams when needed. Bi-Xenon Vs. l5q7.
