Reutlingen, Germany. The first look decides if something pleases or not, there is no difference between humans and cars. Besides their importance in lighting technology headlamps also have a big impact on the car’s front. Rear lamps also progressed and developed to a further styling element. LEDs offer new potentials for stylists and designers. Their unique pin point styling and attractive appearance quickly captured a fixed position within the street scene, no matter if included in a rear lamp, turn indicator, position or daytime running light. What impresses at day are the forms, the colour combination or the impression of the surface, whereas at night the “eyes” begin to shine. But still the benefits of these modern lighting systems are in focus for the car driver. Good lighting, better view and more safety. The specifications of automotive manufacturers for head and rear lamps vary dramatically and include different criteria. Technology and styling trends significantly influence brand strategy and positioning of the manufacturers. Market trends are subject to continuous alternation, the desire for safety is changing, ecological topics come along and all factors influence the buying motives of the potential carbuyer. | | The specialists of Automotive Lighting therefore work permanently on innovative solutions and set regular milestones in lighting technology.
