The future for Angel eyes ?

So, when will BMW or Vendor develop Angel eyes that can change color? EG change from white, to Red, to blue with a switch ? The technology has made it to X-mas lights and other applications. However, I assume it maybe cost prohibitive due to the # of chips in one LED that would be required.



Just thinking of the future

When BMW updated the corona rings to LEDs, I thought for sure they'd also use the dual-color LEDs that are making their way into cars such as the newer Audis and make the corona rings function as both DRLs and turn signals. Heck, I had European LED tail lights on my '08 R32 and '09 Jetta and both had dual-color LEDs for the turn signals (red for running lights and amber for turn signals).

Well white and amber are the only legal colors to have in the front of your car, so i wouldn't expect there to be much other then that.

You guys are talking of new headlight designs? Mercedes stepped up their game. German engineering at it's best
