This year has seen a gradual increase in the number of automotive manufacturers including LEDs into their new 2014 models. The durable, compact, and energy-efficient nature of LEDs makes them desirable for manufacturers. By 2020, LED headlights will account for 20 percent of all headlights worldwide, according to Osram.
