Is this true, is Xenon a halfway point between a Halogen and a HID Litronic?
Xenon is the gas within the headlight that's charged with electricity to produce light. These require the ballast and are the bulbs used in "litronics" and "HID" systems.

Direct fit Halogen replacement blue bulbs that are sometimes called Xenon (on ebay and such) aren't really Xenon at all.
