What are Laser Headlights?
When a car has laser headlights, that means the lighting units on the front of the automobile are made from small laser diodes. Laser lights hit these diodes and then diffuse to light the road.
These lighting instruments can produce a beam of light up to 600 meters. That’s double the range of the current industry standard LED lights.
Along with a longer throw, laser headlights are smaller and use less energy than LED lights. Laser headlights produce a brighter, more effective light without draining a car battery.
Why Do I Want Laser Headlights?
A longer range of light means better visibility. With laser headlights, you’ll have clearer vision at night. See for greater distances and quickly react to the road.
In the case of the Audi matrix laser headlight system, laser headlights can help your car drive smarter. When cars or pedestrians are approaching, the Audi’s headlights automatically dim their intensity. After the path is clear, the lights return to an exceptional level of brightness.
Each headlight in the Audi matrix has a single laser that spreads across many laser diodes. A mirror within the unit automatically adjusts the matrix width and intensity in response to surrounding road conditions, and the laser light is reflected and refracted into millions of light pixels.
How Can I Get Laser Headlights on My Car?
If you want to install laser headlights on your car, you can try doing it yourself. It takes a little bit of electrical know-how. Each car and laser headlight kit has a different installation process. Before you attempt to install laser headlights on your car by yourself, be sure to do your research.
You can save time and ensure quality results if you get your laser headlights installed by a professional. Any auto body shop that does aftermarket and electrical modifications should be able to handle to job.
