Hey guys. I was browsing online and landed on some products throughout the world wide web. I want to know what is the difference between Halogen Bulbs and Xenon Bulbs??? I looked at the Halogen Bulbs and they said that it was for "Off Road" use which I really don't care about but then it costs like $35.00 for a pair of 9006. Then I look at High-Intensity Xenon Bulbs and they said it is 50% brighter than OEM and is brighter than Halgon Bulbs. Why does it only cost $15.00 for a pair of 9006?

I believe that xenons would require ballasts since they are HIDs
Halogens I believe are improved incandescent lights, so they'll be brighter last longer. You sure you didn't flip those prices? A quick wiki search brought this up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headlight#Halogen_technology http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headlight#HID_technology |

I think I'll be getting Halogen Bulbs then. Yes, I'm pretty sure I didn't flip the prices. Here are the links. Both bulb makes are APC. Halogen Bulbs, OFF ROAD use with same wattage. http://www.autobarn.net/apcbulbs.html Xenon Bulbs, non HID related. Direct bulb replacement with same wattage. http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Product...p?Ntt=APC+bulbs This post has been edited by ExSane: Sep 24, 2006 - 2:08 AM -------------------- |
