Xenon is a world wide proven technology and is used in most if not all luxury cars in the world. The only reason it is not being used on cheaper cars is because the cost justifies otherwise.

If you would have patiently read my post, you would have understood that the painful experience you encountered was simply because of improper installation. Have a look at properly installed Xenons and then tell me what you think. Do not be skeptical just because you feel that way about Xenons but be objective. Like you, I have encountered countless Xenon users who blind me to hell but unlike you, I am NOT opposing Xenons because I have seen them in action and I have seen how a properly fitted headlight does NOT blind.

This was the exact same reaction that every road user had when halogens were first introduced. The irritance was there not so much because it is blinding but, rather because they were just not used to it. Ages ago, people would have given comments like you but at the end of the day, everyone realises the benefits of brighter lighting and all cars shifted to halogens. Now, don’t you tell me halogens are blinding as well.

In fact any light for that matter is blinding and hazardous if not installed properly. Improperly installed halogens can be a hell lot more blinding that properly installed Xenons. Wait properly installed Xenons are not blinding at all so there really isn’t a comparison here.

Yes, Xenons are used in other fields for reasons I stated above but, the only reason it was taken to the road is because it conforms to road safety regulations and also because it is beneficial. Xenons are a tremendous improvement over Halogens with no known disadvantages as compared to halogens. Don’t use the blinding reason as we are comparing how a properly installed Xenon fares against a properly installed halogen. So, blinding is not an issue here.

Why!?? reason is simple..because it causes pain for the other drivers... and what is so big deal about that?? coz we all share the same roads and if something were to happen to other drivers, eventually it affect us as well! The most important thing on the road is safety and xenon light isnt contributing to that... well atleast not to the on coming drivers... Yes, newly invented stuff should stay...but it should not be on the road.. Do u know that xenon lights are widely use in the medical field and other industrial right now for the reasons u stated above, so... sometimes, we must be wise enough to know how to make use of new inventions. xenon should be totally banned from the road!!!

I do agree with you that a lot of things that happen in Malaysia simply does not make any sense. They try very hard to resolve issues in their own ways, when there are already proven resolutions out there, but end up indirectly screwing up other people's interest. It's hard to explain but true. </strong>
