that question is on my level 3 exam aswell......
xenon light bulbs work by using a chamber filled with gas and metal halides. When the lights are turned on, a charge is created between two tungsten electrodes, which create an arc of electricity and vapourise the metal halides. The vapourisation gives off a bright light and lots of energy. This energy excites the xenon in the bulb, which gives off the blue light.
Advantages of using this system include;
-environmentally friendly
-they last much longer than halogen lights
-they are significantly cheaper for car companies to install
