Every vehicle’s light bulbs must be specifically designed for its model. There are several types of lighting, including exterior and interior lights, as well as many types of signalling and braking lights. Different makes and models of vehicles require different bulb sizes and socket types. The term “fitting” refers to the base of the bulb and the specific dimensions it has to be for your car.

Wattage

Both halogen and HID bulbs require power to function, hence their respective wattages are specified. In other words, the higher the wattage, the stronger the output. Standard halogen bulbs in vehicles contain 55 watts of power, thus you should only use a 55 watt replacement.

Calculated in Kelvins

Have you ever heard a technician recommend switching out a yellow light bulb with a white light tube? The Kelvin scale, then, is the one that determines what hue a given light bulb will produce. Although we seldom give it much thought, it is very important due to safety concerns and maybe legal difficulties depending on local vehicle regulations.

Why You Should Replace Your Old Headlights

A better lighting system is about more than just making your car look attractive. Upgraded headlights are popular for a variety of reasons, including the ones listed below.

• The factory lamps that came with the car were low-quality and dim.
• Due to faulty shocks and excessive off-road driving, the beams were unequal and wobbly.
• Newer light bulbs are cheap and last a long time, so they are a good investment.
• H11 LED bulbs, as well as other forms of LED and HID lighting, improve nighttime visibility and safety over halogens.
• Clear, crisp beams from modern headlights have even rays that do not need the human eye to work as hard to view the road and other cars, hence reducing eyestrain.
• You don’t have to be a “car man” to replace your headlights because it’s a simple DIY project.
• No matter how old the vehicle is, a fresh set of headlights can make it appear like a brand-new machine.
