Audi Matrix LED Headlight Technology
The Audi A6 Matrix, as its name implies, gets the German company’s signature all-LED headlamp technology that we first saw in the larger A8. The system uses bundles of 19 light-emitting diodes (LED) combined with four reflectors in each headlamp. The result is brilliant illumination. Surprisingly, these state-of-the-art headlamps remain on high beam permanently but still do not dazzle the drivers of oncoming vehicles. How? By switching off individual LED clusters. Clever little technological wizardry, isn’t it?
