The following safety precautions must be adhered to when working on the xenon low beam headlamp system:
DO NOT attempt any procedures on the xenon headlamps when the lights are switched on. Handling of the D1S xenon bulb must be performed using suitable protective equipment; for example gloves and goggles. The glass part of the bulb must not be touched. Xenon bulbs must be disposed of as hazardous waste. Only operate the bulb in a mounted condition in the projector module installed in the headlamp.
The xenon headlamp is known as 'bi-xenon' because it operates as both a low and high beam headlamp unit. The xenon lamp, or High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamp as they are
sometimes referred to, comprises an ellipsoidal lens with a solenoid controlled shutter to change the beam output from low to high beam.
• NOTE: If the lighting control switch is in the 'off' position, both the xenon lamp and the halogen high beam lamp will operate when the high beam 'flash' function is operated.
The xenon headlamp system is controlled by the CJB using a control module for each headlamp and an igniter. The control modules and the igniters provide the regulated power supply
required to illuminate the bulbs through their start-up phases of operation.
The xenon headlamp is a self contained unit located within the headlamp assembly. The unit comprises a reflector, an adaptor ring, the lens, a shutter controller and the xenon bulb, which
together forms an assembly known as the projector module. The reflector is curved and provides the mounting point for the xenon bulb. The bulb locates in a keyway to ensure the correct
alignment in the reflector and is secured by a plastic mounting ring. The bulb is an integral component of the igniter and is electrically connected by a connector located in the igniter unit.
The shutter controller is a solenoid which operates the shutter mechanism via a lever. The shutter is used to change the beam projection from low beam to high beam and vice versa.
The xenon bulbs illuminate when an arc of electrical current is established between 2 electrodes within the bulb. The xenon gas sealed in the bulb reacts to the electrical excitation and the
heat generated by the current flow to produce the characteristic blue/white light.
To operate at full efficiency, the xenon bulb goes through 3 full stages of operation before full output for continuous operation is achieved. The 3 phases are; start-up phase, warm-up
phase and continuous phase.
In the start-up phase, the bulb requires an initial high voltage starting pulse of up to 30000 volts to establish the arc. This is produced by the igniter. The warm-up phase begins once the
arc is established. The xenon control module regulates the supply to the bulb to 2.6A which gives a lamp output of 75W. During this phase, the xenon gas begins to illuminate brightly and
the environment within the bulb stabilizes, ensuring a continual current flow between the electrodes. When the warm-up phase is complete, the xenon control module changes to
continuous phase. The supply voltage to the bulb is reduced and the operating power required for continual operation is reduced to 35W. The process from start-up to continuous phase is
completed in a very short time.
The xenon control modules (one per headlamp) receive an operating voltage from the CJB when the headlamps are switched on. The modules regulate the power supply required through
the phases of start-up.
The igniters (one per headlamp) generate the initial high voltage required to establish the arc. The igniters have integral coils which generate high voltage pulses required for start-up.
Once the xenon bulbs are operating, the igniters provide a closed circuit for the regulated power supply from the control modules.
Halogen Low/high Beam Headlamp
The halogen low/high beam headlamp uses a projector lens, similar to the xenon headlamp. The projector module comprises an ellipsoidal lens and a reflector. The projector reflector
collects the light produced by the halogen bulb and projects the light into a focal plane containing a shield. The contour of the shield is projected onto the road by the lens. The low/high
beam bulbs are quartz halogen and are retained in the headlamp unit with conventional wire retaining clips.
A tourist lever mechanism is located on the right hand side of the projector module. This mechanism moves a flap to blank off a portion of the beam spread to enable the vehicle to be
driven in opposite drive hand markets without applying blanking decals to the headlamp lens. The beam is changed by removing the access cover at the rear of the lamp assembly and
moving a small lever located near the bulb holder, at the side of the projector.
Halogen High Beam Headlamp - Xenon and Halogen
The xenon and halogen headlamps use a complex surface reflector for the halogen fill in high beam lamp only lighting unit, which is of the same design on both headlamp types. This type
of reflector has the reflector divided into separate parabolic segments, with each segment having a different focal length.
The high beam headlamp bulbs are quartz halogen and are retained in the headlamp unit with conventional wire retaining clips.
Cornering Lamps
• NOTE: The cornering lamps are not fitted to NAS vehicles.
The cornering lamps are an optional feature designed to illuminate the direction of travel when cornering at low speeds. The design of the lens projects a spread of light from the vehicle at
approximately 45 degrees to the vehicle axis. The cornering lamp is incorporated into the headlamp assembly and shares the same housing as the low beam headlamp. The cornering lamp uses a 35W Halogen H8 bulb which is permanently located in an integral holder which is connected on the headlamp housing. The holder is located in an aperture in the headlamp housing
and rotated to lock. The bulb is accessible via a removable cover on the base of the headlamp housing.
The cornering lamps are controlled by the LH steering column multifunction switch with the lighting control switch in the headlamp position and the ignition in power mode 6. The cornering
lamps are supplied power via the ignition circuit to ensure that they do not function with the headlamp delay feature. The cornering lamps are deactivated if the vehicle speed exceeds 25
mph (40 km/h). Only one cornering lamp will illuminate at any one time. If the left hand turn signal indicators are selected on, the left hand cornering lamp will be illuminated and vice
versa, providing the vehicle speed and lighting control switch positions are correct.
Static Bending Lamps
• NOTE: The static bending lamps are not fitted to NAS vehicles.
The static bending lamps are designed to illuminate the direction of travel when cornering at low speeds. The static bending lamp functionality, which is controlled by the CJB and the
headlamp leveling module, operates using inputs from the steering angle sensor and vehicle speed information from the ABS (anti-lock brake system) module. The static bending lamp is
incorporated into the headlamp assembly and shares the same housing as the low beam headlamp. The design of the lens projects a spread of light from the vehicle at approximately 45
degrees to the vehicle axis. The static bending lamp uses a 35W Halogen H8 bulb which locates in a holder which is connected via wires to the main connector on the headlamp housing.
The holder is located in an aperture in the headlamp housing and rotated to lock. The bulb is accessible via a removable cover at the rear of the headlamp housing.
The static bending lamps operate with a steering angle sensor CAN bus signal which is received by the CJB. The CJB monitors this signal and vehicle speed and activates the static bending
lamp bulb. When the operation parameters of the lamp are reached, the CJB fades the static bending lamp bulb on using a PWM (pulse width modulation) voltage over a period of
approximately 2 seconds. When the lamp is switched off, the CJB fades the bulb off by decreasing the PWM voltage in a linear manner depending on steering angle and vehicle speed. The
cornering lamps can only be active for a maximum of 3 minutes.
• NOTE: Static bending lamps only operate when the transmission is in DRIVE or in SPORT.
