If you are
upgrading your four wheel vehicle, you might have thought of getting a pair of driving lights. It is pretty common for
vehicle owners to think about this decision as an investment. This is the reason
why doing a little bit of research on what’s currently available in the market
and what will meet your current expectations and needs is crucial.
Types of Driving Lights
Basically
there are three main technologies available: Halogen, HID, and LED driving lights. Let’s discuss the
following technologies in detail:
Halogen is
considered to be the oldest form of driving light that still exists in the
market. This type of lighting solution generates heat inside a filament in
order to create light. It has a limited light production compared to its
successors. It gives off a yellowish
coloured light that is sometimes ineffective, which makes it less impressive.
Halogens are prone
to failures, so this is not an ideal option for off-road driving. However,
halogen globes are much more affordable because of its simple form. If you are
on a really tight budget and are more inclined to take highways, then choosing
this option is acceptable.
High
Intensity Discharge or HID lights are an improvement of the Halogen technology.
It is costlier than its predecessor, but the quality of the light has improved
immensely. It provides a brighter and greater penetration when you are driving
through the dark. It gives off a much more natural kind of light, which is much
more easier for the eyes. However since the technology of this lighting
solution is impressive, it is much more expensive to replace.
Light
Emitting Diodes or LED have become more and more prominent than ever.
Previously partnered up with HID driving lights, LED has become powerful enough
to surpass HID’s capabilities. It can now fill every dip and hallow, which
leaves no shadows or dark spots in the driver’s vision. Since this is a newer
technology, prices can be a little steeper than the previously mentioned
option, however, LED are much more natural, durable, and energy efficient. It
is pretty good investment.
Those are
some of the types and factors to look out for when choosing a driving light for
your vehicle.
