Les phares DHI [...], issus de la technologie du xénon, produisent un large faisceau de lumière blanche aux contours très nets. Comparé aux traditionnelles ampoules halogène, l'éclairage DHI projette deux fois plus de lumière sur la route à l'avant, améliorant ainsi la sécurité de nuit et dans des conditions de conduite défavorables. Outre le fait qu'ils durent plus longtemps que les ampoules halogène, les phares DHI sont aussi moins éblouissants pour les conducteurs venant en face. 2, record 1, French, - phare%20%C3%A0%20d%C3%A9charge%20%C3%A0%20haute%20intensit%C3%A9

Puisque les phares DHI sont issus de la technologie du xénon, l'industrie automobile utilise «phare au xénon», «phare au xénon HID» et «phare au xénon à décharge à haute intensité» comme synonyme de «phare à décharge à haute intensité» même s'il ne s'agit pas de bons synonymes au sens terminologique. 6, record 1, French, - phare%20%C3%A0%20d%C3%A9charge%20%C3%A0%20haute%20intensit%C3%A9
