LED Headlights to be on new 2013 Honda Accord
Today's news release for Honda stated the 2013 Honda Accord will have LED Headlamps,running lights and tail-lights.Surprised to see the LED Headlamps filter down to a car in a lower price range so quickly.They are getting the jump on many higher price cars by offering this feature and making a smart move by doing so, I guess to show off their new technology.
WOW, here we are shelling out $1,400 for our LED Headlight option on our Audi's and it will be offered on a car in the low to mid $20,000 price range. Don't know much more about it at this time, but the car is due to be released in the fall. Article was not clear whether it will be an option or part of the standard equipment.
Gosh, since LED Headlights seem to be one of the important reasons that many of us chose our Audi's, I hope we don't all rush out to trade them in for the Accord to save the $40,000 difference in price. (Only kidding, I think?)

On a side note, anyone see the new 12/13 A5/Q7/Q5 LED DRL? Its no longer a ribbon/eyebrow its now a weird looking shape that resembles the new chrysler 300C LED DRL. Kind of disappointed we got stuck with the ribbon if thats the new LED style Audi is using.....makes the car feel old LOL.

well, this is a jump. Accords dont even have XENON, along with 65% of the cars still offered today dont even have xenon, and car manufactures are skipping xenon straight to LED...Hard to believe but i guess with the governments CAFE rating being rased to 54.6 MPG they have to do what ever it takes to save 1/10th of a gallon here and there.
BMW is working on lasers and nearly have it perfected, give it three years and LED will be standard across the board and LASER will be the next innovation package. but i can almost guarantee that honda will offer LED's as a upgrade, it wont be stock
i didnt shell out the 1400 for the LED, i dont like the way the LED DRL looks split up and i also think its too new for the market and gimmicky....for now

My Leaf has LED headlights, and most of the other lights are LED as well. Of course, that's an EV, so it's doing it for a different reason.
The LED headlights in the A6 are better, plus the high beams too (high beams on the Leaf on regular halogen).

Picture points to led drls. Headlights still look to be standard projectors.
The a6 still has the best looking headlights on the market.
Talking about the led version. I wouldn't be able to put down the money for an a6 and not get the led headlights. To me its te face of the car and defines it. A6 without them just seems like another class

Here is the quote of Honda's news release that mentions the LED Headlights to those that found it hard to believe.
