How is Xenon different from Xenon look-alike bulbs?
It is somewhat difficult for an on-coming driver to determine if a vehicle is equipped with an Xenon system or halogen bulbs that are designed to mimic the appearance of Xenon. This is due to the fact that current versions of Xenon look-alike halogen bulbs closely parallel the color temperature of Xenon systems. However, a vehicle equipped with an Xenon system can usually be differentiated from an Xenon look-alike halogen system by the significant increase in foreground and side lighting resulting in better roadway illumination for the driver.
