HID lighting Applications

Into second article on driving light applications, previously it covers the main benefits. The advantages for having additional set installed on any type of cars, whether for city driving or long commuting type of drive. In particular for those application on older classic cars. All those worn out bulb filaments, grounding losses and degrading harness are the main culprit for your lighting problems. Driving lights are the perfect solutions for classic cars.

There are many type of bulb technology suited for our driving style. Older generation in those classic cars are mostly halogen, the new trend is currently on LED and HID lighting system. LED application is suited for rear lighting system where as the latest technology of HID is designed for head lighting. I have covered its technical advantages and the only drawback is the cost. Cost justification is an individual preference indeed, and for that I would leave its investment return calculation on its own for your own "home work".

There was a picture accompanying previous article depicting few examples on such applications. A Brabus G class Mercedes Benz is utilizing two small driving lights on each corner. Incidentally the Brabus was spelled backward on its number plate, since the photo was flipped around to make better presentation. The other two applications were on G55 and BMW, in both cases the installations were matched into their respective front air dam. Most applications are well below the bumper height and they are for good reasoning that already pointed out in the previous article as well.

We are now getting into selection phase, regardless of the system HID or simply halogen applications. And for whatever brand (from known brand such as Piaa, Philips, McCulloch, etc. to more than a dozens new rising brands like Promax, JLM and so forth), the main thing is surely to enhance better look on your car. A suitable shape and dimension that is perfectly fit for the theme.

Generally speaking the known brand the more cost which consequently better quality products. For example when I was window shopping through Google search for Driving light applications, it returned consistently being on top Piaa 2100 series.
