This lamp, basically, creates light. It's a high – intensity bulb that uses an electrical arc to generate a really bright beam. We see these most often in headlights – both low and high beam – but sometimes in fog lights too. It's not like your old incandescent bulbs; it’s a more efficient way to make a lot of light. It’s a key part of your visibility system. It allows you – and others – to see the road ahead, especially at night or in bad weather. It's controlled by your vehicle’s electrical system and works along with reflectors and lenses to project that light where you need it. Different types of discharge lamps – like HID or xenon – will have slightly different characteristics in terms of color temperature and beam pattern, but the core job is always the same: provide illumination. Well, think about it. If your discharge lamp fails, you’re significantly reducing your ability to see and be seen. You’ll notice if one goes out, because the light output will drop dramatically on that side. It's a safety issue, plain and simple. Driving with a burnt – out headlight isn’t just a ticketable offense, it's really dangerous. Plus, a failing lamp can sometimes cause strain on other electrical components. You can usually find a replacement pretty easily, somewhere like Fixparts Online has a good selection. Replacing it is usually pretty straightforward, though some vehicles require a bit more disassembly than others. Built to endure: Discharge Lamp (MPN 1987302904) comes with a 12-month warranty!
