The Bi-Xenon headlamps with FBL (Fixed Bending Light) is a safety feature that makes a valuable contribution to driving comfort at night by improving visibility on the road by creating additional illumination to the side when turning. Xenon headlights use gas-discharge lamps and are electronically controlled. The arc unit contains a gas consisting largely of xenon, an inert gas that is ignited by high-voltage. The resulting arc is very bright and serves as an excellent light source to illuminate the road. The blue-white colour of xenon light is attributable to the fact that its spectrum is much closer to daylight than conventional halogen light. Furthermore, xenon headlights produce about twice as much light as comparable halogen headlights, and make night driving, particularly in poor weather, safer and less tiring for the driver’s eyes.
The dynamic fixed bending light adaptive light illuminates the course of the road by pivoting the headlight module to follow the twists and turns in the road. This greatly improves illumination of the road in front of the vehicle and to the sides, making it easier for the driver to anticipate the course of the road ahead.
