  • A light-emitting diode (LED) is a two lead semi-conductor that emits light when the correct current is injected into the leads.
  • LEDs were first commercially produced in the early 1960s, and saw their first automotive use in taillights in the late 1996.
  • LEDs were also adapted by OEMs as car lighting in applications such as taillights, stoplights, and turn signals.
  • LEDs were also adapted by OEMs for use in miniature applications such as dome, glove, and compartment lights.

Today, LEDs are being adapted for every type of automotive lighting application.

  • LEDs have now begun to appear as the light source for forward lighting.
  • OEMs have incorporated LED headlights on only a few luxury and high performance vehicles, but LED daytime running lights are becoming very common in many new vehicles.
  • As a leading supplier to carmakers for the LEDs used in forward lighting applications, we have earned a few firsts on new vehicles:
    • 1st LED daytime running lights for OEM applications.
    • 1st LED low beam/high beam functions for OEM applications.

Our Philips LED lights have many advantages over traditional, filament-based light sources:

  • High tech style.
  • Lower energy consumption.
  • Longer lifetime.
  • Better durability and shock resistance.
  • Smaller size.
  • Faster light-up speed for enhanced safety.
