The 'Xenon' came to be when HID surfaced and many of the replacement 'bulbs' called themselves 'xexon' to copy the look of the HID.
Ba careful when shopping bulbs. Many say they have 12V 100/90W 6000K color temperature when they are actually colored 55/60 watt bulbs that have the 'color' of a 12V 100/90W 6000K color temperature bulb.
O.k. So in summation
1)Xenon is just a wannabe HID rip off.
2)HID is probably the best but requires a ballast
3)H1/H4 is an upgrade to the factory sealed beams, but not as "good" as HID.
am I on the right trail here? 
1) HID's are Xenon bulbs. What is a rip off is anything that says Xenon, but doesn't include a ballast and such.
2) HID is the best, does need a ballast, but is a huge upgrade over even H4s. Downside is it may cause some on-coming traffic to be bothered. I don't have much of an issue in my Ranger with oncoming traffic complaining (flashing lights).
3)H4 upgrade over sealed beam is definitely worth doing. Which I have. Still not really a comparison to the lighting HID gives you. I will be losing my H4's to HIDs asap since I upgraded my truck lights..I am sold on them, I will be doing the Barracuda.
