Q7: Does the size of automotive lighting products getting smaller mean that the products will become cheaper?

May 23 2023

A7: Many current car models are equipped with smaller lights due to the car design. However, the smaller size of the lights does not necessarily help reduce the cost.

The reason is that the light in such a confined space must have improved efficiency of the illuminant to conform to the Road Vehicle Lighting Regulations. Therefore, the configuration of electronic circuit boards, heat dissipation mechanisms, and materials could cause increased costs. Besides, the production technology and equipment require special fine-tuning and operations. Therefore, the price of automotive lighting products must remain the same or could be higher, even though the light size is smaller.
