subject: Vehicle: Automotive Light Bulbs [print this page] It is such a disappointment to have broken or missing headlight. At times, it results into accidents and even fines and tickers from the policemen. It is why this is important for having automotive light bulbs. The automotive light bulbs are used in so many vehicles that have the headlights and taillights. If the light are burned out or damaged, it needs to be replaced for another one.
Here are the lights based on my research and some details about them.
The LED lights are so far the most famous these days as automotive light bulbs. They come from different wattages and depend on the type or the model. The low wattage in a 50 range is the right size for the headlights in cars and motorcycles. It also comes in small wattages like in the rear taillights which usually around 10 watts. The shoppers can also check for stronger wattages for more intensity.
The plasma lights have different kinds of hues that are usually blue and purple. It is very hard for them to see it at night. The colors come out in the front of the vehicle. They also fit on the most of the vehicles and are the same as the regular bulbs in terms of size. There are places that made it illegal because of the hazards that are associated with it.
Halogen light bulbs are typically for headlights and not taillights. These kinds of light bulbs sometimes are yellow or blue lights. These colors cause the light to appear in a different way than they usually look like when they are turned on. Just like plasma lights, they are illegal in some places. These are very popular in the show vehicles and racing vehicles.
The next is the vintage light bulb and these are lights that can be seen from the vintage models and antiques. These are the lights that are manufactured before the 1980s. It has different construction from the modern ones. There are also sellers out there that still offer these kinds of bulbs for those who wanted to have a classic style of car.
Fog light bulbs are for vehicles that contains fog lights in it. They are so famous and are mostly seen on the trucks and sport vehicles or on any larger ones. They are located in the upper section above the headlights. They are larger than the regular automotive light bulb because their sockets are bigger too. It has high wattage since it has higher intensity and it usually from 50 or 70 and sometimes 75 watts.
