HID replicated with XenonLook bulbs


Gas discharge bulbs, also known as High Intensity Discharge Bulbs (HID) produce a crisp, bright-white light.
Whilst this technology has been around for a while, it has tended to be reserved for use on high specification car models.

This has driven a trend by other motorists that wish to replace their car’s yellow looking bulbs with bulbs that replicate the HID look without upgrading their vehicle lighting system.

To meet this demand Ring has produced the XenonLook range of headlamp bulbs.
The XenonLook range produces a higher Kelvin colour temperature that results in a whiter headlight colour.

Ring Automotive’s Associate Director Marketing Caroline Harding said: “XenonLook has been designed to produce a high power beam that replicates the very sought-after HID gas discharge look, giving any vehicle a very distinctive modern appearance that is simple and inexpensive.”

“Because the human eye is more attuned to higher colour temperatures, XenonLook also aids visibility both for the driver and for other traffic.”

The new bulbs are UV cut, so are suitable for use in plastic headlights. XenonLook is available in H1, H4 and H7 variants and may require changes to fuses and wiring. Due to the XenonLook bulbs being higher wattage they are for Off-road use only
The H4 and H7 bulbs have a silver cap to help blend the bulb into the background of the reflector for a sophisticated subtle look when the bulbs are off.

To help complete the look, motorists can also change their sidelights for ones that produce a crisp white light. Ring has also launched a range of LED bulbs that produce a high kelvin colour temperature. The new LED bulb range includes side light upgrades which produce a clean crisp light that again replicates the HID Look.
