LEDs headlights

[R-34]

Toyota Motor Corp. has test-manufactured an automobile that has powerful white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for headlights and is set to unveil it at the Tokyo Motor Show later this month, Toyota sources said Saturday.
The vehicle marks the first time for Toyota to use a white LED, a type of semiconductor chip, in headlights. The show will get under way Oct. 22 for journalists and Oct. 25 for the public.

The innovative white LED consumes less electricity than conventional automobile lights, they said.

Toyota plans to test the safety and durability of white LEDs in headlights with an eye to commercializing automobiles equipped with them, they added.

Sooner or later, LEDs will replace all current-used traffic lights. :)
LEDs go, LEDs go, go! :)

Wow, this is impressive. I am planning to replace all the dashboard/interior illumination with white LEDs...it looks much much cooler.

I don't really like the HID headlight due to the fact that there is no high beam for the conversion kit.
