The 99.5 headlights "look" like xenon's IMO. Any comments?

I have to say yes they do look like xenon<br>s sometimes, that's only when you see the upper edge of the light where the blue hue comes out.., but if you look at the intense part of the light, there is no comparison.. <p>Dmak 1.8TQMS

Xenon (HID's) really only refers to a bulb technology. A Xenon headlight still utilizes reflectors to get the light onto the road. The LLTek Xenon's use a projector-beam low with a normal reflector high beam.<p>The 99.5 lights also use a projector-beam low with a normal reflector high beam. The major difference is in the bulbs and other stuff needed for the Xenon's (ballast, etc.).<p>Until you turn the lights on, a 99.5 headlight will look pretty much the same as an LLTek Xenon (I think they're Hella units).<p>More info on Xenon's and auto lighting in general can be found on the Stern Lighting website.<br>Andy Hedin<br>'97 A4 1.8Tqms, Wett 1.0 Bar, ABT Filter, Euro Headlights...<ul><li><a href="http://lighting.mbz.org/">Stern Lighting</a></li></ul>
