Global and China Automotive LED Lighting Industry Report, 2008-2009

Supposing the LED industry keeps developing at the current speed, it will be in line with traditional light source levels in 2014.

If the automotive LED headlamp has the same illuminating effect as the headlamp made of the traditional light source, their cost gap won’t be more than 10%. Currently the LED headlamp cost is 30% higher and even two times that of a HID headlamp, little wonder the mainstream car makers are against such a big cost difference. This is a new report just published by Research In China.
