Which Are the Right Headlights for My Truck, Jeep 0r SUV?

Truck headlights are forgotten pieces of equipment enjoying a renewed focus. While halogen lightbulbs remain the standard, LED and xenon headlights are becoming more common as drivers look for better performance. Deciding which headlight is best for you requires some careful thought about your priorities. A little research can help you decide what kind fits your needs.

Halogen 

Halogen lightbulbs are by far the most common type of headlight. Most vehicles being produced today, even luxury cars, feature halogen bulbs. They are very similar to the incandescent lightbulbs that are still popular in household lamps.

Halogen lightbulbs are the cheapest, making it less painful to your budget when it comes time to replace them. Truck owners should take care when replacing them, as even minimal amounts of skin oil or perspiration can affect the brightness and longevity of these bulbs. Because they are so common, repair shops are all very knowledgeable when it comes to servicing halogen headlights. 

LED -  (Top dog)

LED or light-emitting diode truck headlights have become very popular in recent years. An LED is a type of semiconductor diode that produces light when a charge is applied to it.

LED headlights produce a beam that doesn’t disperse as much as other light sources, so it illuminates farther down the road. LEDs also use much less energy than halogen headlights. The main disadvantage of LEDs is the significant amount of heat created by the diodes. They require a more significant cooling system than other headlights. If you’re looking for better luminous, longevity and all out better lighting go LED. We highly recommend LED lighting. 

Xenon - (old school)

HID (high-intensity discharge) headlights are commonly called xenon headlights. Xenon is a naturally occurring gas that is used to start the metal-halide lighting process in the headlight. This process is much more energy efficient than traditional halogen bulbs.

Xenon lights are significantly brighter in appearance than other bulbs, with drivers of other vehicles sometimes complaining they blind them. While xenon headlights create a more diffuse light than LEDs, many rural drivers prefer this as it better illuminates the sides of the roads at night. They also last longer than halogen bulbs.

Reflector vs Projector Headlights

Finally, no discussion of headlights would be complete without discussing the two designs of housing. A lightbulb shines light in every direction, so a housing is needed to create a more focused beam.

Every driver is familiar with reflectors, as they have been the standard type of housing for years. Similar to a flashlight, they are a bulb sitting at the bottom of a reflective cone. The light bounces off the sides of this cone and reflects out onto the road.

Truck projection headlights are similar but with an added piece of design. After the light bounces around in a specially shaped housing, it is focused by a concave lens. This projects a straighter beam that creates better illumination.

Which Headlights Are Best For You?

While headlights may not seem like a flashy aftermarket part, custom lights are become more popular with truck and jeep owners. While they may not be as cost-effective as stock parts, the benefits are enormous. Not only do they look great, they can save a driver’s life by illuminating trouble sooner. Our pick would be LED and Projector Headlights but this is all up to you. Good luck and stay safe.
