Xenon Headlights
Xenon high-intensity-discharge headlights have bulbs, but unlike halogen lights, they don’t have filaments so they tend to last longer than halogens but not as long as LEDs. They use less energy than halogens and more than LEDs. They also are hotter than LEDs and become dimmer over time.
Due to having high-intensity xenon headlights, BMW headlights can be pricey to replace. Xenon or HID headlights came out over 15 years ago and are mostly used on luxury cars. An assembly without a bulb runs about $2,000 if you’re replacing the bulbs too and add another $500 for the pair.
