Chevrolet S10 Headlights

Chevrolet headlights help you drive safely at night or during low visibility, and communicate with other motorists. With a pair of replacement headlights for Chevrolet S10, you can keep your lights in top working condition along with your other truck parts.

Which types of bulbs are compatible with the Chevrolet S10?

Factory-produced Chevrolet S10 headlight assemblies are compatible with halogen bulbs. Halogen is fairly standard across the industry. Compatible sizes of halogen bulbs vary according to the model year. You can convert your existing assembly to be compatible with LED bulbs. You may also change your entire assembly to support a new type of light, such as:

  • Cold-Cathode Fluorescent Light (CCFL) - A bulb that glows when ionized vapors inside the bulb interact with an interior phosphor coating
  • Xenon - A bulb containing noble gas and two tungsten electrodes between which electricity arcs
  • High-Intensity Discharge (HID) - A bulb that works like a xenon bulb, except the internal gas is either a noble gas or mercury vapors, and the tungsten electrodes are closer together
What are Chevrolet S10 halo projector headlights?

Chevrolet halo headlights boast a circular pattern of light resembling an angelic corona or a pair of illuminated eyes. Projector assemblies contain a bulb positioned in front of a projective material shaped like the letter "U." This U-shaped projector focuses the emitted illumination into a beam. An upper and lower shutter in front of the bulb controls the beams directionality. Projector lights reduce the scatter of illumination above and to the side of your vehicle, illuminating long stretches of road in front of you.

What are bi-xenon vehicle lights?

Bi-xenon vehicle illumination, more commonly used in a Chevrolet S10s front end, is a type of HID illumination. Bi-xenon replaces any bulb in a dual-beam assembly. Dual-beam assemblies contain one bulb with two filaments. This single bulbs two filaments let it emit two, or dual, beams: High and low.

Bi-xenon is a single bulb that lets you capitalize on the power of HID for your the high and low beams of your truck. Bi-xenon contains an internal mechanical plate that partially shields the emitted light during low-beam use and retracts during high-beam use.

How does 10000K relate to headlamps?

The number and accompanying letter are a color temperature. The "K" stands for "Kelvin," a standard unit of thermodynamic measurement. As any type of illumination becomes hotter, its color changes. Color temperatures describe the complexion and undertones of a given illumination without your having to see it in person.

Headlamp color temperatures range from 5000K to 10000K. Lower temperatures are more golden and amber, whereas higher temperatures are more bright white and crystalline bluish.

Can you explain surface-mounted diode headlamps?

Surface-mounted diode, or SMD, is a type of LED. Recall that LED produces illumination when electricity comes into contact with a two-lead semiconductor, and electrons subsequently recombine with electron holes. SMD entails the mounting of diode chips onto a printed circuit board. SMD offers the economy and efficiency of LED in tons of fun headlamp colors and shapes. SMD is very common in high-end halo headlamps, creating a halo pattern that appears seamless.
