German Headlights 56k Warning

[Deleted member 25]

Angels eyes, but the Audi leds are also very attraktiv.

What's a glass eye?
MB headlight design is different on most of the models, not really a direct theme to it...

see my previous post..
its just a word i made up

does it matter?
as you wost likely voted before entering the thread..j/k

I don't know which one to vote. IMO they all make great head lights and now I'm talking about Xenon/LED lights. The normal halogen lights look terrible on some German cars (for example the 3 Series).

I am sold on Angel Eyes since this:

The irony is that how the angel eyes would have been a better fit for Audi considering how it reflects the 4 Audi rings - I am sure they must have kicked themselves for not thinking of it first.

BMW takes this in a walk. They pioneered the modern-day paradigm of optics as automotvie jewelry with the facelifted E39, and continue to impress with new iterations of the same theme.

I really like where Audi is going with LEDs. Won't give them the juice though until they deploy on a mass model, like the A4.

Artist...not to take away from your opinion but what you mention as Mercedes design (glass eye) is more of a feature of the projector's glass. Unlike BMW and AUDI, the glass is not something that MB dictates as a design but rather a byproduct of manufacturing the thick glass.

The angel eye and the led's are deliberetly placed there to give the car character, the glass is just something that is necessary for it to be a projector.

Now what I like? The Angel eye. That's what started it all and has been getting better and better. Of course, I'd rather get the aftermarket white led angel eye but I like that design over the strip of LEDs like in AUDI's case.

yes im fully aware of that..
like i said in previous posts.. my point is..the way MB pronounces those round projoctors..make them stand out and look like eyeballs..haha

but maybe its only me seeing that.. its very clear on CL and C AMG´s...

But still guys.. vote for your fav..as simple as that

 

[CorpusCallosum]

Angel eyes for me... I like the new S class lights as well

I voted for Mercedes, but after seeing for the first time an A5 with the LEDs on, I'm starting to hope I hadn't...

I can change the poll, do you want me to?

No need, but thanks for the offer.

Pure hotness. BMW's head lights rock.

Well, first of all I wish we had equal amount of biased people here, so the poll would be fair.

As for me, it's easy the Audi LED. Just wait until you see an A5 or an R8 or an S6 Avant behind you, and you will go absolutely crazy.

I love Angle eyes- after all I'm a BMW fanatic. But, I think you are probably right about the LED lights. Already whenever I see Audi's in my rear view mirror, all I think about is how amazing, aggressive and unique the grille looks. I think the LEDs will make it look even more distinctive when I'm looking at them through my mirror!

Personally, I think the Mercedes 'GlassEye' isnt distinctive enough to notice!

This is hard, personally I think it's between BMW and Audi, MB lights don't really stand out among the rest of the design!

I have yet to see an R8 or S5 with their lights on, so can't comment on them, but I love how the LEDs on the S6 look. They mean you can spot the car a mile off, even before you've realised it's an A6. Although BMW would have to get my vote here, the angel eyes really stand out well, and when just the side lights are on, they really add to the look of the car!

Just wait until you see an A5/S5 in the rear view mirror. It's like a shock. You think "what on earth is that". I've heard this from several of my friends. "I saw this sickest Audi with those sick lights"...hehe

I'm sure it will be quite a site, in some of the pictures, those lights look awesome, if only they could look a little more interesting in the day time!
