Any motorist knows and understands the importance of sufficient illumination of the roadway.Human psychology is set up so that when we have something, we want more, and as much as possible!So with the headlights same trouble.After all, Xenon lights on all indicators outperform halogen.
traditional incandescent bulbs (halogen) radiate more heat than light.This happens due to the filament coil, wherein the temperature in the lamp is increased.
The discharge lamp (xenon) luminous flux produced by the radiation of the arc between the electrodes, which occurs in an inert gas, xenon and metal salts.The electrodes are at the same pressure in the flask.At the same power xenon energy consumed almost two times less than a standard incandescent bulb, while much better illuminate the road at night, in fog, in rain, in snow conditions, and this is an important indicator of safety!Xenon beam powerful "punch" bad weather, lighting is not a drop of rain or snow, namely road pokrytie.Itak, important and indisputable advantage of xenon lamps to halogen - a substantial increase in the brightness of the light flux.However, the fun with all this is that many motorists do not even think about the significant advantages of xenon to halogen, they put it solely for cosmetic purposes, because now white-moon or bluish xenon headlights - it's pretty stylish "note" tuningvehicle.But the penalty for xenon has not been canceled!What threatens to such motorists riding?
Penalty for xenon exists, but not for all.At risk drivers who have made changes in the design of the car, contrary to the requirements of the manufacturer.What we are facing "illegal" xenon, the penalty is whether or ruthless deprivation driver's license?
Usually misuse xenon substantiated violation of Article 12.5.3 of the Code of Administrative Violations: operation range must strictly comply with the design of the car.In other words, if your vehicle xenon was installed by default by the manufacturer, you risk nothing, but if he barbarous method embedded in halogen lights, the risk increases substantially.Penalty for xenon in this case deprives the driver's right to drive a car for a period of six months to a year.
As practice shows, for "illegal" Xenon is usually no one is fine.At least in Russia.Apparently, we have already a lot of reasons for that disempower.In the light of what to "xenon drivers" just do not have time ...
According to some reports, in Europe think about the possibility to ban xenon headlights.The reason for this - the blinding oncoming drivers.If the government still reach this measure, it will be a question about what to do with xenon modern cars?At the dump?Or make corrections to invalid machine design?If so, then the penalty for such cars xenon replaced by a fine for his absence!
