Bi LED Achromatic Plastic Lens


This is the first time a plastic lens has been used as a headlamp projector.  The achromatic plastic lens with microstructure features allows 2 different beam patterns (high- and low-beam) to be created with a single-piece PC lens produced in a single molding operation.  The lens is laser welded to the lens bracket for precision location.  Versus glass, the plastic lens can be lit with an LED instead of halogen lamp (saving energy), provides a 45% weight reduction and a cost save of $14.30 USD / vehicle, and offers far greater styling versatility.
