What happens with each light is that three blue lasers positioned at the rear of the assembly fire onto a set of mirrors closer to the front. Those mirrors focus the laser energy into a lens filled with yellow phosphorus. The yellow phosphorus, when excited by the blue laser, emits an intense white light. That white light shines backward, onto a reflector. The reflector then bounces the more diffused white light forward, shining it out of the front of the headlight casing as a beam that is powerful, yet still able to be gazed upon.

Most of that is Toyotas overinflated pricing.
On the new E series Mercs (and higher models) the headlights are LED, on the one (high) setting.
Cameras projecting forward (located either side of the rear vision mirror) sense oncoming vehicles and other objects, as well as those travelling in front of the vehicle in the same direction, and operate a shutter system to effectively shade or cast a shadow across part of the forward light pattern.
Had a dealer with a Lenser torch show me how it worked. Impressive.
My friends aren't holding me back..... I'm pulling 'em forward.
Volvo are developing a headlight that makes driving in rain like drive on a clear night.
The light blocks the light where the raindrops are and it happens so quick that the human eye can't pick it up.
From the demo's I've seen, bloody impressive
There is an awful lot of trucks in Central Qld running 7 inch LED headlights, much like the pic above of the spotlight. Fairly impressive light output.

if you head down to your local Isuzu dealer you can get you hands on a set of these
Led is very over rated for spot and headlights. Those Truck lights are crap compared to projector HID and I'm yet to see a Led spot light that comes close to a decent HID not ebay carp. I've swapped a few guys over who where running the Truck lights. There next to useless in rain or fog (because there to blue) and high beam is not that good on a good night. There's a reason those Truck lights are cheaper in the US as there US cut off. If you ran them over here it would be blinding everyone on the road just like you have high beams on. It's all about supply and demand you will pay more for the RHD as there main sales are LHD versions.
Don't get me wrong I love Led light bars but for headlights or spotlights HID is still a long way ahead. That is why guys in the US are already converting the factory LED headlights back to projector HID or using models from older cars. I think you will see lighting technology skip LED very soon and go straight to Laser or similar to what Volvo and Audi are doing.
If anyone here wants to put them money where there mouth is and compare there LEDs headlights to my HIDs and put a few cases of beer on the line I'm happy to do so.
low beams only. Perfect cut off so no blinding anyone.
Very Impressive
