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 7, French, - phare%20%C3%A0%20d%C3%A9charge%20%C3%A0%20haute%20intensit%C3%A9
