Today you can see many cars equipped with xenon optics. This is a fairly economical solution, as the xenon bulb gives a bright light. However, not many motorists are thinking about the markings on their headlamps and discussing on the forums the size of fines for the most xenons. Let's figure out these issues.

How are marked by lights on purpose?

Today every driver knows that car lights are equipped with a separate optical system. Here separately dipped separately in the far. We also used the combined system, which in a single housing combine the two types of light. These lights are labeled as directed.

  • S – low beam headlamp.
  • R – as indicated by the high beams.
  • CR – a combined system.
  • A – the Parking lights.
  • B – fog lights.

marking lights under the xenon

In addition to this marking on functional features and purpose, there are other signs, which encoded a very interesting and useful for motorists information. For example, deserve special interest letters, meaning the light source, which can operate the spotlight.

The Letter encased in a circle is the international symbol. Also in this sign, you can find the code of the country that authorized the use of lights. These signs can easily be detected either on the lamp housing or on the lens. Often the marking (car glass) gives a lot of valuable information about what lamp it is possible to apply it without harm.

In America, any optics are marked by DOT signs. In addition to this designation, the marking says about the light level in the suites and also the direction of the arrow. If the headlight is intended for use on left hand drive cars, then the arrow in the marking will not. Also, it will not appear on a right-hand drive cars. If the marking arrows at both sides, then it is a universal optical device. Among the marking characters can see who and where made this headlight.

These data can be seen on the inner side of the headlamp glass. Another marking of car Windows can be specified on the top, in the engine compartment. In most cases, these data are very difficult to find. You will need to remove the optics.

Still labeling standard provides a presence in the marking, the marking angle for the beam. Most often, this angle may be about 1%. These data can be seen on the sticker of the headlight Assembly.

Marking of headlamp for light sources

It Is necessary to learn the two most popular kinds or types of optical automotive systems. This halogen lamps and xenon light sources.

The Standard and familiar to every motorist lights, designed to use halogen lamps identified by the symbol H. Halogen light can be performed in several ways. But despite this, the lens must be marked with this symbol. It can be for low beam HC or HR for long. These lights are among the safest, so as not to blind oncoming drivers and reliable among its peers. And at a cost they are much cheaper than xenon lenses.

What is the marking of headlamps to xenon?

These light sources are marked by the symbol D. As in headlamps designed for halogen lighting, the symbols can also be different. It can be either DR or DC or DCR. According to modern norms and rules of the lamps, which are marked thus can be installed only on the lights With a, R or CR.

On some cars American or Japanese origin, there can be a marking HB4/D1R SAE-(2)HR AIPP2-03-NR VOR DOT RH NSL. Here you can see the familiar symbols D and H. What is this optics and how to decipher the markings?

rear lights

The fact that cars from Europe have a symbol E and a number. The number is the designation of the country where manufactured car.

American cars are the classification symbols and HB number. These values determine the type of cap and the design of the lamp. Needless to say, that this is current information only for US markets. For example, the lamp HB 2.4 – nothing like dvuhruchevaja lamp. And if the numbers were 1 and 3, then it would be a single-strand lamp. In addition, they both have halogen lamps, and xenon.

You Need to remember that the marking lights under the xenon is denoted by the symbol D.

About the xenon and the law

Now we're getting somewhere. However, you should look at the marking on the other side. Imagine you are stopped at the police post, but the inspector does not know the standard symbols in the marking. He just writes in the report that your optical device does not meet the Standards.

What to do? You can in my defense to show the inspector the marking information of headlights, as well as the symbols indicated on the lamps. Any bulbs for the main optics will have the same marking as on the left. So, the marking of car Windows have character to match the information on the lamp.

However, the inspector does not calm down. Why? But because the traffic police adopted a different system of rules, regulations and requirements. For example, there is a document that regulates the use of optical devices in the car, as well as modes of their work. This document may not be operated unless the optical devicein emergency modes. It is for this and will be fined.

bulb in the fog

Why would the owners sell the bulb, for which you will have in the future to pay the fine? It's simple. These bulbs just need to be installed in the right headlight.

If the optics on the machine are designed for halogen lighting, then whatever marking lights under the xenon, it's illegal. But if on the glass of the optical system is D, only then you can safely install a xenon light.

marking xenon headlights

If you really want to complement the car popular and trendy xenon lights, but the lights under this case is not suitable, then there is only option. It requires replacement of the entire optics at matching the xenon. This is possible where this equipment can be found in the market. But it is not for all brands of cars.

Some of the nuances xenon light

Even if your car is marking lights under the xenon and regular lights installed at the factory, you can still get hold of with them certain problems. The whole point here is that in addition to marking still need optics that has a special spell check and a washer on high pressure.

But you can do without this equipment. Moreover, the efficiency still need to check. However, if shines inspection, have worked long and hard to prove that the regular car has these devices.

Why xenon headlights impose especially stringent requirements?

In this case, all due to the very high brightness of the light flux of xenon lamp. If you take a halogen light, then, in this case the wavelength is much smaller than in the xenon lamps.

This suggests that when equal areas and indicators of roughness of a lens, xenon lamps have a much larger angle of dispersion. It's confirmed by science. If on glass there is no marking lights under the xenon, the light can dazzle other road users. In order to use this light and it does not give anyone the inconveniences you must have special reflectors that provide high reflectivity, and a special glass.

The Discharge in these lamps is also higher than halogen lighting. It also increases the dispersion angle. For low levels of soiling or zapalenie of the lens or reflector, or misconfigured optics spotlight also will blind other drivers.

marking of car Windows

This light is bright, allowing the driver to better see the road, it gets a great review in dark times of day. But the drivers of oncoming cars will not be too happy, but also it can increase the risk of an accident on the road.

Why struggle with xenon headlights. However, not with everyone, but only those where such light is installed illegally, and glass marking does not match the xenon.

Fog lights and xenon

In the fog light xenons fit is easier than in conventional optics. Here, everything is easier. But keep in mind that the luminous flux be aimed down a bit.

This tuning gives the advantage compared to traditional halogen lighting. So, increasing the area of the illuminated surface, it is better to survey the road. It is very important on turns, because on the roadside there are certain risks. Installed xenon bulbs in the fog lights allow the driver to see before the barrier and right to respond to it.

In the fog lamps are used as the bases of type H3, H11, HB4, Н27. Rarely, the lamp socket H4. In order to clarify the marking of the cap, you need to explore Faro. If you have not found the symbols on the glass, then you have to remove the fog the optics.

About the choice of lamps in the fog light

Choosing xenon in the PTF, you need to find out the optimum temperature. Optimal parameter - 4300 K. This headlight will give a white color with a yellow tint. They still use bulbs in the fog lights with the temperature of 5000 K. In this case, the luminescence will also be white. Even used lamps with a temperature of 6000 K. This is again a white light with a slight blue tint.

Marking fog lights

This optics is encoded as follows:

  • With   flashlight beam, if it is made in a separate block.
  • R – a distant light if it is installed separately.
  • H – halogen lamp.
  • PL – the lamp of which the lens is made of optical plastic.
  • S – glass headlight.

Tricks

It Seems, to outwit the inspectors will not work. But it's not. There is a place for tricks. Need a lamp with a temperature of 3000 to 4000 K. the Markings on the headlights for xenon should contain these settings.

marking of batteries

Still need to replace the optics or set it lenses. Lens not allows too to disperse the light beam. But will decrease the brightness. Lens hides from the eyes of the inspector markings and the shape of the lamp. Even a professional inspector will not be able to determine which marking GOST in your optics.

Also don't forget about the ignition. We need to hide him away. Although professionals argue that greater brightness compared to a halogen light which will be difficult to achieve.

If you wantreplace halogen lighting to xenon, then be sure to avoid problems with traffic police. Marking sometimes is erased, it is erased on plastic headlamps, which are now the majority of the market. You can protect yourself a photograph of the glass marking is visible very well.

Buy the xenon correctly

When installing on the vehicle equipment, you need to understand that it is not always the most expensive kit will work correctly and efficiently. Many products, especially expensive, include the cost of advertising. To pay for them is not necessary.

The ignition must be selected in such a way that it came to the design of the machine. If your vehicle is not equipped with a module that controls the bulb voltage, then buy a xenon with faux. This allows great save.

Also, choosing the kit, not to buy the thin units. If under the hood has enough space and allows marking of batteries, then you can easily purchase a block of standard dimensions.

When you install the lens in the regular lights it is important not to damage the surface of the lens. Touch it with your fingers is highly undesirable since the quality of light scattering will be very low. Yet this surface should not be exposed to dirt and dust, so after Assembly you should efficiently handle joint of the glass block with some sealant.

Xenons in the back

The Presence of this light in the rear lights allows much easier movement and maneuvers at night. When you select the preference is given to lamps glow with a temperature of not less than 5000 K. This would produce a bright white light with a bluish tint.

In the beginning, you need to disconnect the negative lead. Marking of the batteries will not make a mistake here. To facilitate work, you need to remove the interior trunk trim.

To install the xenon rear lights implies the need for removing the lights and their subsequent disassembly. The old lamp can be directly unscrewed. And in order to reverse flashing xenon lights, you will need to do some revision. Usually you need to prepare the place for the wiring.

The Rear lights do not require modifications of the cap, otherwise you will not be able then to install in their place normal bulbs. The cartridge is disassembled, and the contacts and wires need to be extracted. Wiring for xenon lighting can be conducted through the hole.

glass marking

Then the lamp needs to be consolidated. The connectors usually come with the kit. The connection must be performed in strict respect of polarities. Here you need to be very careful. With clips, you need to connect the wires to the ignition.

Before testing, you need to ensure that the circuit is a fuse. After rear lights will light up beautiful with xenon light, you can collect all ago.

What scared the xenon?

Optics with xenon is quite a complex device. Their design is much more delicate and fragile than the design of halogen lamps.

These bulbs are afraid of frequent switching on and off. Light sources work by discharge with a high temperature. Sometimes they can suddenly burn. In the end, it is possible to observe the luminescence of green or red colors.

markings on the headlights for xenon

Also, do not put xenons excessive vibrations. Even any smallest of leaks a radiator almost instantly goes down. In addition, marriage may come right out of the box. Most often this happens on cheaper models xenon lamps. The lifetime can be less than weeks. Therefore, you should only buy branded products. But then again, it's not cheap.

To put or not to Put?

Considering this information, this light is not prohibited. The only thing you can't use the model where there is no marking of xenon headlights or they are not configured properly.

So, we found labeling of xenon headlights.
