BMW Xenon

If you drive, you've probably noticed that it's getting more common to see differently tinted headlights on the road. However, the different tints aren't just for the sake of fashion. These are Xenon Headlights and they come in an array of colors that depend on the bulb's brightness.

Xenon light fixtures provide a complete spectrum of colors that are brighter according to the type of bulbs ranging from six thousand to twelve thousand degrees Kelvin. By contrast, conventional halogen light fixtures are only about four thousand three hundred degrees and provide a yellow tinted light. Super white bulbs are about four thousand eight hundred degrees and are extremely bright. Intense blueish Xenon light fixtures are measured in the 6000 to 8000 range of brightness. Any of these bulbs are legal in every state.

You can buy two more kinds of Xenon BMW Head Lights, but you cannot use these to drive on a typical road anywhere in the United States. Purple BMW Xenon lights have a measurement of 10,000 degrees Kelvin and bright green BMW Xenon lights a measurement of 12,000 degrees Kelvin. Lights like these are useful mainly for show or display cars, since they are much too bright for normal driving on a highway.
