Piston Slap: The HID-den Benefits of Xenon Lighting?

John writes:

Hi Sajeev!

I’m still only three years into the car business and I still haven’t wrapped my brain around one thing: xenon headlamps. As a used car manager I’ve replaced plenty of xenon bulbs (pricey) and even some ballasts (really pricey).

Are you sold on their usefulness? To me it seems like a giant waste of money.

Flashindapan Beautiful color combinations. I assumed they stop selling the TT here at least five or six years ago.
Carson D Just don't be the whistleblower who reports on the falsification of safety data. That's a deadly profession.
Carson D I'd have responded sooner, but my computer locked up and I had to reboot it.
