The Altima doesn't have projectors, it just has "ordinary" HID lights. The HID lights have an arc inside a bulb filled with xenon, so they are sometimes called "Xenon lights". They have to have additionaly electronic parts, including a ballast, to generate high voltage for the arc- that's why they cost more.
The benefits of xenon lights are that they are much brighter and last longer. The number one reason to use them, however, is for safety. Xenon headlights typically allow you to see two to three times further ahead than halogen headlights. You will also be able to see better in inclement weather and at night.These are a pair Non AFS Jeep Grand Cherokee Bi-Xenon LED OEM Headlights or aftermarket headlights made to OEM specs that come with all components. Jeep owners now have the option to select OEM vs aftermarket headlights. Aftermarket headlights only have a standard 1 year warranty. OEM headlights only have a standard 3 year warranty. As of 08/30Also, xenon bulbs are not just brighter, they are equally whiter than halogen/traditional bulbs. Xenon bulbs use a lesser amount of energy to produce super-efficient and brighter illumination than any other type of bulb you may have on your vehicle. However, upgrading to xenon bulbs is pretty expensive; then again, not all cars are designed to
Xenon High-intensity discharge (HID) lights, on the other hand, are electrical gas-discharge lamps that produce light through an electric arc between tungsten electrodes. HIDs have a longer lifespan than Halogens, as the light being emitted is produced by using electrodes to charge the white xenon gas inside the bulbsâunlike halogens that use
Due to having high-intensity xenon headlights, BMW headlights can be pricey to replace. Xenon or HID headlights came out over 15 years ago and are mostly used on luxury cars. An assembly without a bulb runs about $2,000 if youâre replacing the bulbs too and add another $500 for the pair.Xenon lights work a bit differently to standard halogen bulbs and actually require two core components to work. The first component is whatâs referred to as a ballast . This is essentially a power converter which takes the normal 12V DC power from your car, and fires out 23,000V to ignite the second componentâŚthe bulb.
