BMW headlight

Buying experience a bit slow due to extra validation of credit card. The packaging etc good. Shipping fast. The light was installed by body shop. Overall looks good but there is a 1/2 inch gap with hood, which i am not sure is body shop issue or part issue. There seems to be mialighment of high and low beam with the other original head ligt.

Headlight bulbs have constantly improved to provide better lighting at lower energy costs to the battery and provide fewer glares for incoming vehicles. Most headlights use incandescent light bulbs, usually the halogen-type; either with separate high and low beam bulbs, or a single bulb on each side with dual filaments. New headlight lenses are coming out too day-by-day, lenses that are of high resistance to heat and made of the most durable materials to ensure durability in any type of weather condition. Euro Altezza lights provides great designs and is wildly popular these days. Accessories such as headlight covers and masks are also available to add aesthetic value to the Headlight.

Headlights come in pairs and are found in the front of the car. Many headlights used nowadays are the sealed beam type; this means that the reflector, lens array on the front, as well as bulb, is compressed into one unit that must be replaced together. Usually the parking lights and signal light can be found with the headlights. They are cast into one set consisting of multiple bulbs and reflectors. Colors are provided as to designate which light is used and for what purpose. Headlights can be switched between two modes or configurations: low beams and high beams. High beams radiate more light at a higher angle, letting the driver have a wider and longer range of visibility, but this may result to potentially blinding drivers of approaching vehicles.
