I hope that means either HID or LED because those are two different
worlds.
HID is a High Intensity Discharge lamp that is bright.
LED is a Light Emitting Diode that is pretty good too.
The HID should be more expensive due to the high voltage drive 
electronics but either is more reliable than a hot filament going over 
the road.
