Projector Headlamps

A projector headlamp is a unique optical system utilizing an ellipsoidal reflector in conjunction with an objective lens, similar to slide projectors. A projector system can use a halogen or High Intensity Discharge (HID)/Xenon light source.

Exterior styling and aesthetic appearance of headlamps has taken on more importance in the design of today's vehicles. Visteon has developed Projector Headlamps that deliver a careful balance between design, performance and practicality by considering vehicle styling needs, lamp packaging constraints and functional performance.

Benefits

• Increases packaging flexibility by freeing up valuable engine compartment space due to its small, modular package design.
• Provides a highly durable lighting solution in a lightweight and compact size as it comprised of die cast aluminum and plastic reflectors.
• Permits a high-tech styling appearance for brand differentiation with its glass projection lens.
• Reduces power consumption through the use of bi-functional technology–the same light source generates both high and low beams by moving a shield in front of the direction of light propagation.
