The future for Angel eyes ?

ken1137 · 06-07-2012, 02:04 PM

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

M_BYEEE · 06-07-2012, 02:18 PM

this would be fun lol...especially with a stealthy control module built into the dash.

JYohay · 06-07-2012, 03:03 PM

this has already been done by LTBMW on one of the cars they had at Mfest.

it was on a white new 5 series with the a custom hood that had a vent in it

Nice...I was only half kidding but thought it would be fun for a photo shoot or meet-and-greet. Now we just a need a system for the e82 and e88

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

That video is about two and half minutes of some dude talking, and then 7 seconds of the headlights, lol.
