Although halogen can have headlamp washers as part of a cold climate pack, on xenon HIDs, they’re legally mandatory, so if your car doesn’t have them, it’s definitely not HID.
Although true for the UK, Europe, Australia and Japan it's not mandatory for the US or any other country employing similar lighting legislation. Additionally I've seen at least 3 cars with the washer system deleted as the pump or washers fail, therefore I advise against using the headlamp wash as a method of discerning lighting type. Hope that makes sense and doesn't come across denegratory in any way. -Anthony
I know from the price of a Xenon Bulb and a ballast whats on mine, the price nearly choked me when my ns failed. easy I thought and try the cheapest option first but there's no cheap Xenon option, ended up being a ballast so now I have a spare Xenon bulb.😂
@@xlyte_performance Oh don't get me wrong the light performance is absolutely second to none, I live in a quite remote village in Scotland and the Xenon's are just amazing. The self-levelers also failed once and finding info and spares was an issue but I couldn't honestly imagine having less than the Xenon's now.
Beautifully explained my friend keep up the great work
Informative/Educational, Thanks Anthony

Hello great video. How can I purchase a pair of your Xenon Lights. I have a Jaguar 🐆 X-Type 2004 3.0 . Hope to hear from you soon thank you!
I need to replace both. Wiring is in terrible shape. Where's the best place to buy online? I a quick search and the prices looked crazy
What do you mean you need to replac both?! Both headlights? Do you mean the prices of my headlight builds look crazy or something else.

Despite its obvious cost disadvantages, there is no other downside to xenon. It's simply leagues ahead of any halogen options.
