LED headlights from ‘Highline’. Volkswagen has developed a totally new design of vehicle lights for the eighth generation Passat. The car is being offered with halogen and LED headlights. In particular, the LED headlights that are offered in two versions create an unmistakable look.

LED headlights (level 1). The newly developed all-LED headlights in reflector technology form the entry-level version of a lighting system that replaces the xenon headlights on the Passat. Also designed in LED technology are the daytime running lights. The main areas of the daytime running lights also assume a turn indicator function. Twelve LEDs are used for this, which can be operated in white or yellow. Together with the two „eyes“ in the reflectors, the daytime running lights’ unique signature is unmistakable.

LED headlights (level 2). At the next lighting level the Passat has full LED headlights in projection technology. Arranged next to one another, two exceptionally low-profile lens modules project the light onto the road and generate a type of illumination that is similar to daylight. The centrepiece of these headlights is the outer multi-beam lens module. In addition to the dimmed and full beams (with adapted country road and motorway light), the module also generates the dynamic cornering light. The inner flat-beam lens module, meanwhile, is responsible for illuminating the road up ahead. Another highlight of the projection LED headlights is the daytime running lights with 32 LEDs. Their signature is made up of two separate modules: a large ‘U’ (that goes around the lens module) and a small ‘U’, which frames the contour of the multi-beam lens module. Beneath the daytime running light the wide indicators (twelve LEDs) emphasise the headlight’s design. LEDs for the static cornering light are also positioned on the inner side of the headlight.

LED headlights (level 2 plus Dynamic Light Assist). In the top version, the all-LED projection head- light is also controlled via a vehicle camera. For the first time, Volkswagen is combining Dynamic Light Assist (automatic main beam control) and LED technology. The camera recognises any traffic in front and any vehicles approaching from the opposite direction and balances the data using the headlight electronics, which coordinate the spread of light via the daytime running light’s controller and pivoting multi-beam lens module.
