The Iridium TT Twin-Tip Technology delivers far less obstruction to the spark, allowing an omni-directional explosion.

This minimises the quenching effect and results in a more effective, more complete combustion.
FLIPWith an estimated 40 million HID bulbs fitted to vehicles from new in 2016, you can see why Xenon bulbs are leading the way in automotive lighting at the moment.

However no bulb is immune to failure, and with the first HID bulbs that went into circulation beginning to fail, consumer’s are looking for quality replacements. A common way to spot a failing HID bulb is the discolouration of the emitted light which is known as cycling, a shift towards a very blue/purple colour can be emitted due to the higher temperature and increased voltage required to maintain the arc inside the bulb.
