Aftermarket headlights - better looks through better technology

Some of the best engineering designs are not made by a style expert. These are made by the engineers themselves. When a product is engineered well it acquires a beauty of its own. This is specially true when the engineering science requires the product to have curves and is not a design full of straight lines. The aerodynamic body of an aircraft or the look of a sail boat being blown by the wind are testimony to this fact.

And the headlights of the car are another such product. With the ultra clear plastics that are now available one can see the highly refined curvy shape of the reflector, the high tech light source and the usually oval shaped housing. And the headlights look very attractive making you stop and stare at them, then you may even bend down to see if you can discern more of the high technology inside the headlamps. But of course since these are engineering related contours there is a purpose as well.

The new light source generates a strong and steady beam of light and at the same time also manages to dissipate the heat generated effectively. The latest LED headlights use LEDs as a light source which consume very little power and are very durable. The curvy reflector is an advancement on the simple conical one because now the light beam is not simply projected straight ahead of the car. Instead it is sent in varying intensities to different parts of the road, with those parts where better visibility is required getting, more light. The housing is no longer purely functional but it doubles up as a style statement. In general the looks of headlights tend to stand out as is the case with HID headlights.

For all the high technology the latest headlights are not very expensive. In fact one of the directions in which technology has moved is to make high performance more affordable.
