The dawn of a new light age has arrived. It began
when Audi revolutionized vehicle lighting with the
first full-LED headlamps in 2008. Today, the use
of LED technology helps create a look that's
powerful and iconic, even in the dark of night.
Darkness doesn't stand a chance.

Only one square millimeter in size and offered on every vehicle in the
lineup, LEDs have opened up an array of styling opportunities for Audi
designers.¹ These little marvels can be combined to create infinite
shapes and arrangements, giving each vehicle a look that’s distinct
yet unmistakably Audi.

LED headlight technology produces light at a color of 5,500 on
the Kelvin scale, approximately the same as daylight. This helps
your eyes perceive more contrast. They experience less strain.
And those dark stretches of road become a little less daunting.

Audi LED taillight technology goes on fast and bright, reacting up to ten times faster than conventional
bulbs. And if a trailing driver can notice the brake lights of the leading car sooner, giving the driver more
reaction time, it could potentially result in a shorter stopping distance.³

One day, it may be lights-out for conventional bulbs. That’s because LEDs
can help reduce carbon emissions and save fuel. How? Since LEDs are four
times more efficient than conventional bulbs, the vehicle’s alternator isn’t
required to replenish as much energy. This helps reduce the load put on
the vehicle’s engine and enhances the vehicle’s efficiency.⁴
