LED headlight: Notes

The LED headlights are used for exterior lighting.

LEDs are construction components made from semiconductors. In the LED, the energy from the electrical current is converted into light energy. As the individual LEDs emit a smaller quantity of light than incandescent bulbs or xenon bulbs, several LEDs are usually bundled and interconnected in so-called LED modules.

The advantages of LEDs are:

• Long service life
• High efficiency
• Mechanical robustness
• Adaptation of light color
• Option of dimming

Depending on the national-market version and vehicle equipment, the light for the following lighting functions will be generated with the LED headlight:

• Parking light
• Side lights
• Daytime driving lights
• Driving light
• High-beam headlight and headlight flasher
• Turn indicator
• Hazard warning flashers
• Cornering light
• Adaptive Headlights
• Variable light distribution
