Audi’s LED headlights are also maintenance free and designed to last the life of the car. This is because it doesn’t use gas discharge technology found in standard xenon headlights, which are more prone to defecting.

This amount is less than the already high-efficient xenon plus headlights and much less than conventional halogen headlights.

One of the reasons Audi still leads the industry in LED technology is because of its innovative designs for both daytime and nighttime use. Each Audi model is equipped with a distinctive, unique look and strong accents to highlight its individuality. For example, the Audi A5 has 26 LEDs per headlight generating all lighting functions—14 of them work together to generate low and high beams in each headlight.
