“Xenon” is the established name for the entire system, even though the light is produced by the interaction of xenon gas and metal halides. Unlike incandescent bulbs, xenon bulbs do not have a filament; instead, the light is produced by an electric arc inside the bulb.
In recent years, LED lights have become increasingly common in cars. LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, which produces light in an energy-efficient manner. The color tone is determined by the material used.
