Best Xenon Headlight Design (BMW/Audi/Lexus/Mercedes-Benz)
I thought it would be very intriguing to find out the general consensus about the latest and greatest Xenon headlight designs. What does the F30 community think? Please keep a sound, rational and non-trolling discussion
IMHO - I may be biased but the F30 trumps this big time. Not only their design is unique (with flattened LED rings on top & bottom), but also gives the car a assiduous & purposeful personality. Props to Audi for coming up with their unique angel-eye design which has been copied glibly by Lexus (*puke*). Designers at MB seem to be confused. Please vote your top choice. Multiple-choice allowed! BMW 2012 F30: Mercedes-Benz 2012 C350 Coupe Audi 2012 B8 A4 Audi 2013 B8 A4 (Mid-cycle Face-lift) Lexus 2012 IS-350 |

Don't you think that MB has a very confused design? They've got the led stripe in the bottom, a weird protruding LED semi-circular feature towards the grill and a regular round Xenon lens.

The LED strip in the bottom is for turn signals. The C class has LED running lights in the lower bumper/fog light area. The little circle thing towards the grille is a bit unique, but really no different than the F30s headlights. |

Does anyone know if we are xenon headlights on the F30 track and move with the steering wheel angle ??
I think they should ... it would be a shame if it doesn't because even on an 2004 Lexus RX, they are included... just saying ... Quote:
Could someone confirm please? because the video does not show the wheels turning at the same time... Last edited by DrivenByE30; 01-18-2012 at 03:49 PM.. Reason: answer possibly |

I am confused, (my first post here, please be gentle) : I thought Xenon and LED are different technology, but you are talking here like it is the same thing ?!
Which headlight f30 has: Xenon or LED or it is all the same (both), ?! |

LED's are a different type of light, they are used more for aesthetic purposes(audi led strips, MB led strips...) Also they are used as turn signal lights and break lights. Hope that helps

Always loved bmw's design. Don't care much for the rest, however i can't stand the Audi's LED wave looks childish and without real purpose. But then again... people have different taste

I went with F30. Audi ones are sexy, but you have that F30 behind you looking at you through your rear view mirror, with those bright eyes ;0) HELLZ YEA!!!

I think the BMW I the cleanest, but the Audi has the most "pop" factor. "Toyota" and MB look like they just tried one of everything everyone else is doing and it's just too busy...
