In Reply to: XENON lights here. posted by Randy Hudson on October 08, 2000 at 14:49:49:

It sounds like your basing your entire outlook on Xenons on a few bad experiences. I've copied a previous post of mine and pasted it below for you to read. I think that it is YOU that needs to have respect for others on the road and their safety. I know plenty of people with Xenons who aren't pricks, and to judge them as so based on what kind of headlights they have is a sore mistake. Anyway, here's my previous post...


Regular Xenon low beams offer road illumination that is easily twice as good as regular headlight systems, making night driving much, much safer. Having driven my roommate's 328Ci with Xenons and see this difference first hand, I am extremely disappointed that I was not able to get them on my M Coupe. Xenon headlights that are properly aimed will only glare a touch more than well-aimed regular halogen lights. To tell you the truth, I, on average, am blinded much more frequently by SUVs and mis-adjusted halogen equipped automobiles than cars with Xenons.

Considering the safety factor, the fact that the color of Xenon lights is much more true to sunlight, and the fact that they just look plain cool, I will most certainly order my next vehicle with Xenons. If you think that I'm being a prick for my above (perfectly non-prick like) reasoning, then that's your problem, not mine.
