xenons and HIDS

this might seem like a stupid question, but what is the difference between xenon lights and hid's? i like the look of the s500 lights- the bluish ones- are these xenon's? thanks

Tomato - tamayto, bimmer - beamer, Reagan - Kathleen Quinlan.

Two sides of the same coin. Xenon refers to the gas (non-chalupa-related), while High Intensity Discharge (again, n-c-r) relates to what they do. Same thing; depends on which term people think will make them look smarter to others.

From what Young has said, you can pretty much custom-tailor what color you want for your lights with some manufacturers. Generally, the stage II lights give off a blueish tinge.

You're a dumbass. He said Lakers over NEW JERSEY NETS in 5. The Nets and the Lakers haven't started their series yet fool!

The series YOU are thinking about was between the Lakers and the Sacramento Kings.
