Which is brighter, LED lights or xenon lights?

Xenon lights are brighter. The functions of car lights are: 1. Accurately illuminate the road ahead to improve safety during nighttime driving; 2. Convey signals to avoid traffic accidents. Types of car lights include: headlights, fog lights, brake lights, daytime running lights, and hazard warning lights. Precautions for using car lights are: 1. Turn on low beams when driving at night; 2. Do not use high beams when a following vehicle is driving close to the vehicle in front in the same direction; 3. When passing sharp curves, slopes, arched bridges, crosswalks, or intersections without traffic signal control at night, alternately use high and low beams to signal.
I've been driving for over thirty years, from the xenon headlights of older models to the LED lights of newer cars. Honestly, LED lights outperform in brightness. Xenon lights have a warmer color temperature, appearing even and soft at night, with strong penetration in fog or rain, but that's only brighter under specific conditions. As for LED lights, their brightness is measurably higher, with a lumen value exceeding 8,000. The beams are concentrated, shining far and wide, making them much safer and more practical. I remember the last time I drove a friend's car—turning on the LED headlights on a pitch-dark mountain road lit up the path ahead brilliantly. Of course, xenon lights have their charm too, especially in the modification scene. But nowadays, mainstream cars come equipped with LEDs—brighter, more durable, and energy-efficient. My advice is to prioritize LED lights—safety first.
