New Optical System for Low Profile Headlamps 890690

The demand for headlamps with low profile and slant lens has been increasing in such a vehicle styling trend that it has been getting more and more aerodynamic to reduce air resistance and thereby to improve fuel consumption and driving performance.
Lamp manufacturers, in answer to the demand, have tried to develop various types of new optical headlamp systems.
