I hope you all realized that Aston Martin just put the spiky LED rear lamps we've seen on their virtual car before into "production". Hooray!
The Blue Oval is very pleased to announce that the 2015 Ford F-150 will be the first pickup truck to have LED headlamps, with so much refracting in the housing that only one diode is needed per side. Apparently they're also tough as hell.
In a bid to maintain its lead in swaying other automakers to adopt ostentatious lights, Audi is pushing hard to bring its next bit of illuminated wizardry to consumers on the new A8. The next step comes in the form of these wicked sequential turn signals. But they're not legal in the US – yet.
