Led Headlights

LED lights have until recently only been used on vehicles in the rear taillights sections. However, the trend is forming for them to be used in headlights to replace the more common halogen or tungsten bulbs. Several high-end luxury brands such as Audi and BMW have already started designs for models which will only have LED headlights, such as on the 2010 Audi R8 V-10 where LED headlights will be a standard feature. This is creating a totally new path for the way of headlights and opens up a large area for development in headlight design, style and functionality. What is beneficial about LED lights is that they are smaller than the traditional halogen lights used and as such can be used to create new and stylish designs for headlights that have never been seen before. Consumers are waiting in anticipation for the new Audi R8 and Lexus LS which are expected to display new and improved LED headlight designs. It is a matter of time before other car manufacturers begin to latch on to the idea and re-look at their headlight design techniques.

Another manufacturer that is leading the way in the designs of LED headlights is Truck-Lite who have developed a 7 inch round LED Headlamp which is designed to provide brighter and more luminous light. Their specially designed glass is almost thirty times stronger than regular headlight lenses, and together with their uniquely designed shock resistant features, reduces the necessity for maintenance or replacement.

In the meantime, LED headlights can be purchased and fitted manually into vehicles. The 05-07 Dodge Magnum Projector Headlights-Chrome made by Sonar cost $180 and are relatively easy and hassle free to fit. There are also LED Headlights that can be bought for Ford owners such as the 94-98 Ford Mustang LED Headlights W/Amber -Black also manufactured by Sonar. These have a popular sleek design with a very specific look to them, which is appealing to many car owners who want to custom design their own vehicles.
