Okay boys.. obviously all 3 big germans have now gone with their own style when it comes to headlights..
we allready know BMW´s Angel Eyes from long..
now audi is going with LED´s in their headlights
and MB are now starting with something i like to call the glass eye

So here are some pics.. and please motivate..and vote for the one you feel is your fav, and the one design you think works well over the whole range..not only one specific car..

Glass Eye















Angel Eyes








LED






PS
Keep in mind you are not voting for the whole headlight unit..but whats inside it..

Ohh and im very sorry for the HUGE ammount of pics..
but thats mainly MB´s fault and not mine..

My favourite?

For myself, it's pretty much a tie between both Mercedes and BMW. I feel that the headlight assembly for both of these manufacturers happens to work rather well across the model lineup. They look kick ass too. Forced to vote between the two, I'll go with Mercedes.

As for Audi - can't say that I'm fond of the LED's.

This is very hard for me.. ile be back with my opinion..
ile just say this
i saw an S5 on the road today .. gunmetall gray..in the rain.. with the LED`s the effect was MAGICAL
The C63 have cast a new light of MB´s Headlight design.. its hard to get over..
BMW´s Angel eyes..might be one of the most original and cool looking things ever..

so its very hard

Angel eyes for sure, you just can't say "no" ...!

I can't express the feeling, when you look your car, stairing at you ...!

i am surprised i am the only one voting for audi's LED, may be because there are still too few applications out there?

I don't know what you mean by glass eyes? But I don't see any unifying theme across MB models as far as their head lights go - they had the 2 oval thing going for some time, but looks like they dropped it for the newer models. But anyway even that didn't have anything to do with the way lights looked when lit - like BMW's angle eyes or Audi's LED lights - it was just the outer lenses.

^yep i get your point..and i thought about that to
the thing i meant with the glass eye is the round lens where the xenon bulb sits..
most cars have that.. look at the bimmers.. inside the ring..its just the same as a MB..
but the way MB pronounces it with their latest modells giving it a look of eyeball
thats what im trying to point out..

but yeah your right..they arent as easy to detect as the LED´s or Angel eyes..
heck i just started to think about it ..when i saw the dark lights of the new C63...

Judging by these two photos, I think you all can gather what's my choice.

Angel eye sounds sexier than Glass Eye, only that would be enough for people to vote for angel eyes

"Angel Eyes"? "Glass Eyes"?

No. Just a simple LED Daytime-Running-Lights or LED-DRL just like Audi.
