Fadli85 0 Posted February 25, 2011 This is crazy...! Ingolstadt engineers managed to built new technology for a headlamp...! Here you can see the light up sequence, the thin light guide day running light doubles as turnsignals...!!! how did they managed to made it so bright that it is even possible to use such a thin light guide? (the thin acrylic with etches on it) Here you can notice the LED cubes shine a light beam thus acting as the driving lamps..At first I was wondering where in the world is the driving lamps...! turns out the individual LED "cubes" ARE the driving lamps...! blew my mind away..! Previously Audi made the driving lamps using LED but still using projector lens type (which has a reflector at the back), common same as any other projector headlamp, but this, they set the bar higher, they up the ante so high it's out of this world......!

danny_sp15 0 Posted February 25, 2011 just curious, if the LED cubes are the driving lamps, then why need to have full-sized headlights? the headlight area above the LED cubes are not even used. anyway, i've seen an Audi Q7 today, with new LED taillights and all. surprisingly, the signal light is very dim, i didnt even notice that the car was giving a signal until i get right behind him. style is there, but safety is compromised. shame on u Audi.

KidrauhlM5 0 Posted February 25, 2011 The engineering may seem fantastic, but safety is still number one. I find these LEDs to be very bright! Me and my mum drove past a Singaporean Audi Q5 on the other way around and it kind of blinded me because of its brightness... It may looks beautiful at once, but sometimes looks awkward to me.

Fadli85 0 Posted February 25, 2011 Actually those day running lamps were required on some US states and European countries, over here, on the equator the sunlight is adequate enough that day running lights is not necessary, but for the sake of style, yes.!It's funny to think that once Audi was never this popular, the car was the least on people's mind when buying a new car, I remembered one time my neighbour had this Audi 100 and it was super difficult to start in the morning, so many cranking and cranking, I can hear it every morning when I was little, when I grew up a bit I thought this could be the worst car to own ever.Then out of the blue came this LED parade by Audi as a new brand image, and all of a sudden they're popular again...!

Fadli85 0 Posted March 31, 2011 Apparently, there are two type of headlamps, this one is for the US market (much more flamboyant/fancy) the more conventional one is for European and Malaysian market (functional). I think this must be because of the stricter Euro regulation/requirement and mostly all European cars imported here follow the E-Code or European code for lighting....much better than US code (for example old Volvo 240 cars with US code is less clear than one with E-code)http://paultan.org/photo/index.php?album=Audi-A8L-launch-live&image=P1120276.JPGHere the headlamp on Paultan.org Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
