Theft? Lmao.. a theif would spend A LOT of time to take apart a Xenon setup. Not only do you have to get the lens, the ballast and igniter to make it all work. Thats for both sides, btw.
As for lasting longer, of course! Typical Xenon setups only draw 35w from the electrical system. Good thing we have 4 ear warranty's to cover the ballast and ignitor, because those can be FREAKIN expensive.
IMO...
Pros>
Brighter output than halogen headlamps
More focused beam of light
Longer lasting... kinda like Double Mint gum
Looks wicked
Auto or manual cockpit adjustment
Projector, not a reflector
Cons>
Other motorists BITCH about the blinding
When things fail, its expensive
Expensive to start with
No auto adjust on the 3
I would like a more purple hue, but thats just me
PROS>
Brighter output than halogen headlamps------WOW, what a difference!
More focused beam of light-------AGREED
Longer lasting------Halogens = approx. 2,500hrs. | Xenon = approx. 40,000hrs.
Looks wicked------AGREED
Auto or manual cockpit adjustment-------AGREED
Projector, not a reflector-------Mazda3s are "projector", however other vehicles may have "reflectors" instead of "projector". Projectors are better IMO.
CONS>
Other motorists BITCH about the blinding------Then stay out of my way you jealous freak :twisted:
When things fail, its expensive------AGREED
Expensive to start with------AGREED, but going down lower in price
No auto adjust on the 3------MANUAL ADJUST INSIDE COCKPIT
I would like a more purple hue, but thats just me------AGREED
Once you get Xenon HIDs you'll never go back. They are amazing!!!
