LED Headlights
Through optimization of the shape of the lenses and reflectors inside the lights, a large illumination range has been realized.

Bi-function
When low beam is selected, the light source of the high beam headlight is blocked by the shade in the headlight assembly.
When high beam is selected, the shade turns so the light source of the high beam is not blocked.
The bi-function is activated by the headlight ECU sub-assembly. The headlight ECU sub-assembly receives as signal to turn on the high beams from the headlight dimmer switch assembly, then activates the built-in headlight actuator to slide the shade down.

Triple Beam Headlight (Models with Adaptive High Beam System)
The inner 2 elements are equipped with independently controllable LEDs.
The inner element has 8 LEDs and the middle element has 3 LEDs.
By controlling the 11 LEDs independently, the illuminated area of the high beam can be adjusted.

OPERATION
Triple Beam Headlight (Models with Adaptive High Beam System)
The 11 LEDs within the headlight assembly are controlled by the headlight light control ECU assemblies.
By adjusting the brightness of each LED using pulse width modulation, it is possible to optimally control the illumination area of the high beams.
