To improve forward visibility for drivers and provide customised styling options for automakers, Magna introduces D-Optic LED headlamps. D-Optic lighting represents the next generation of LED headlamps and an auto-industry first by combining multiple high-power LEDs with precise, injection-moulded lenses to achieve high performance with efficient energy use.

D-Optic lighting is unique for automotive applications because it is scalable and is custom-developed for a vehicle's specific shape and styling. LEDs and lenses can be added or subtracted to suit each unique design. The innovative headlamps make their market debut on the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse.

"Automakers are looking for ways to differentiate vehicle styling and also incorporate the latest in performance and efficiency," said John O'Hara, President of Magna Closures and Mirrors. "Our lighting group is excited to launch D-Optic on the all-new Traverse after working closely with the vehicle team at Chevrolet to create a custom solution."

D-Optic lenses come in four unique prescriptions, each one dedicated to specific performance characteristics. This allows automakers to tailor overall lamp performance to their own preference, whether it is near-field spread or 'comfort light' or maximum range. Magna is able to combine D-Optics to achieve all performance goals.
