QuartzHalogenLamp

So i purchased an H11 Xenon Plasam Blue bulbs on ebay. They were very cheap, 8$ + 9$ for s&h. Its 10000k 12v/55w Halogen Lamp.

Thing is, they were so cheap, now that i received them i’m afraid that they might burn my headlight frame…

I did not purchase the HID kit, just the bulbs. Them being so cheap, you think that they might be bad for my projector headlights?
What u mean it melted your headlights?….the bulbs melted or the headlight itself?

Most new luxury cars have High Intensity Discharge lights on them. They are metal halide lights, that put out a bright blueish white color that saves energy. Most common cars have Halogen lamps, which are dim and yellow in color. They burn a lot of energy too.

My problem is when people buy HID kits to put in their Halogen lamp housing on their older cars. This causes the new lights to be blinding. Because after all the Halogen housing was designed for a halogen filament, not an arc tube with gas.

Does this bother you?

Why is quartz used in a halogen lamp?

Lighting equipment such as the venerable light bulb has radically evolved since the early days when Thomas Edison first invented it in the 18th century. Today, consumers are able to choose from a wide array of home or office lighting options, and halogen light bulbs are one of the most efficient lighting alternatives. However despite the many innovations, the standard ‘Edison caps’ are still utilized in some light bulbs, and almost all variants still use the same simple materials, albeit with a new high-tech twist. The lighting devices available today may be utilized for domestic or commercial purposes, and they can also be handy, carry-anywhere devices.
