Do Halogen Lights Have Lenses?
1 Answers
New cars with halogen lights usually have lenses, but older models may not. It depends on the specific vehicle model. However, you can check by standing in front of the car and looking at the bulb inside the assembly. If the bulb is visible, it means there is no lens. If you see a spherical shape inside the assembly, it indicates the presence of a lens. Halogen Car Headlights: Halogen headlights are one of the most common types of car headlights in use today. With a 40-year development history, halogen headlights are essentially an improved version of incandescent bulbs. They contain halogen gas inside the bulb, which makes them more durable than traditional incandescent bulbs. Xenon Car Headlights: Xenon headlights are a type of gas discharge lamp. They operate by using a ballast to instantly increase the voltage from 12V to 23KV. This high voltage ionizes the xenon and other inert gases inside the lamp, creating an arc of light between the two electrodes. Since xenon headlights produce light through an arc rather than a tungsten filament, they have a much longer lifespan—up to 10 times that of halogen lights—and are about three times brighter.
