OSRAM Automotive Lighting and Ford are working together on the 2013 Ford F-150 to provide a high intensity discharge (HID) headlamp system on select models, according to the companies.
Previously featuring standard tungsten halogen headlamps, these Ford F-150 models will benefit from improved light spread from side to side, and improved foreground and down-road illumination, the companies said.

In addition, HID generates light at a higher color temperature, so it's whiter and more like natural daylight. Mercury-free HID lamps provide four times the lumens per watt of traditional halogen light sources and are more efficient at converting electrical energy into light.
