German Headlights 56k Warning

Okay boys.. obviously all 3 big germans have now gone with their own style when it comes to headlights..
we allready know BMW´s Angel Eyes from long..
now audi is going with LED´s in their headlights
and MB are now starting with something i like to call the glass eye

So here are some pics.. and please motivate..and vote for the one you feel is your fav, and the one design you think works well over the whole range..not only one specific car..

Glass Eye















Angel Eyes








LED






PS
Keep in mind you are not voting for the whole headlight unit..but whats inside it..

Ohh and im very sorry for the HUGE ammount of pics..
but thats mainly MB´s fault and not mine..

Re: German Headlights 56k Warning

My favourite?

For myself, it's pretty much a tie between both Mercedes and BMW. I feel that the headlight assembly for both of these manufacturers happens to work rather well across the model lineup. They look kick ass too. Forced to vote between the two, I'll go with Mercedes.

As for Audi - can't say that I'm fond of the LED's.

Re: German Headlights 56k Warning

This is very hard for me.. ile be back with my opinion..
ile just say this
i saw an S5 on the road today .. gunmetall gray..in the rain.. with the LED`s the effect was MAGICAL
The C63 have cast a new light of MB´s Headlight design.. its hard to get over..
BMW´s Angel eyes..might be one of the most original and cool looking things ever..

so its very hard

Re: German Headlights 56k Warning

i am surprised i am the only one voting for audi's LED, may be because there are still too few applications out there?

Re: German Headlights 56k Warning

I don't know what you mean by glass eyes? But I don't see any unifying theme across MB models as far as their head lights go - they had the 2 oval thing going for some time, but looks like they dropped it for the newer models. But anyway even that didn't have anything to do with the way lights looked when lit - like BMW's angle eyes or Audi's LED lights - it was just the outer lenses.
