Xenon headlights?

Hello, I have a question. I have a car with halogen bulbs. The headlights are now broken. I looked for new ones and found them. They are xenon headlights with an e-number. My question is, I've read several times that they need an automatic headlight leveling system. Is it sufficient if I install them manually? The website says this is done by the original headlight. And do they also need a headlight cleaning system? I wanted to get the xenon ones from Osram or Philips, as these are permitted according to the German Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO).

kind regards

You need an automatic lighting range regulation and a headlight cleaning system. The reference on the website applies to vehicles with original Xenon headlights.

Bi-xenon means that both the low beam and the high beam are xenon headlights. There are variants where for the high beam and low beam each have a xenon burner and variants where a xenon burner is used jointly for low beam and high beam.

Xenon Look is different than Xenon. These are normally cold-white halogen lamps. Of course, you can dismantle them like that – don't let light set.

Then it is not a xenon headlight, but a normal halogen headlight with normal halogen lamps. These are widely used as H7, H4, H3 or H1. They have a blue glass flask. This creates a somewhat bluish light. Osram is called Cool Blue and Philips WhiteVision

Light range regulation must: automatically – due to the brightness of the headlights, unnecessary glare of the counter traffic should be reliably excluded. And a headlight cleaning system is also mandatory.

If it is actually only the Look is, it doesn't need the above mentioned, that then it only touches Xenon.

REAL Xenon headlights need exactly these two things:

  1. Headlight cleaning system
  2. Automatic lighting control

Without ifs and buts.

The "Xenon" beams of Osram and Philips only simulate the xenon light. They are then also only allowed in the original halogen headlights.

no it is not, otherwise xenon burners would not be halogen
