LED Exterior Forward, Signaling, and Tail Lamps are becoming the standard for all new developments

- Reduced power consumption and maintenance free; styling extremely important for powersports

LED Signal Lamps are becoming prevalent

- Increased styling freedom; accentuates brand character and enables competitive differentiation

LED Ambient Lighting using concealed light sources to provide a variety of illumination options

- Direct: Light guide technology to accent straight or curved geometries; e.g. map pockets / cup holders

- Indirect: Small lamp modules to provide ambient illumination in targeted areas; e.g. center console

Today’s Market

LEDs: Lumen/$ continues to improve; increasing risk to long term bulb availability

Personalization: color and intensity selection, memory settings

LED backlighting: Expanded use behind fabrics, trim, nameplates, thresholds ─ styling, safety, branding

Ambient Lighting: Increased usage and harmonization ─ door handles, cargo box, grab handles, etc.

Interior Lighting Control: Smart switch modules, proximity switches, motion detection

Electronics Integration: Function up-integration into lamp assemblies, LIN and CAN networking
