I see you talking about LED projectors a lot, but keep in mind that LEDs do not have the output we need to light up a road. While LEDs may appear bright, they don't put out enough lumens to be as efficient as xenon lights.

If the technology takes of, great. If they find a way to make LED lighting more usable before that, even better...

that's weird because cadillac has been offering LED headlights as a package for a while now on their platinum cadillac escalade...they are the first to actually use LEDs as the headlamps...the audi R8 is also in the process of getting fitted for LED headlights...

LED headlights will be the next thing. It's a few years away for a lot of cars since the technology is VERY expensive right now. I think the R8's LED headlights is a $7500 option.

Also, i beleive the LED"s operate at a slightly higher K value...~5500K vs 4300K for Xenon.


I can't wait til guys start buying LED bulbs and sticking them in their halogen headlights trying to get the look
