LIGHTING has become a new battleground as carmakers fight for market share. High-end OEMs such as Audi have eagerly grasped LED and RGB LED technology as a way of differentiating their products with distinctive lighting cues. At differing ends of the market, BMW Mini and Bentley have also seized the opportunity to use LEDs to create distinctive interiors, improve energy efficiency, and introduce intelligent and safer exterior lighting systems. And as manufacturing techniques improve, LED lighting will become ubiquitous in all market segments.
