The latest in a long line of lighting innovations from Audi, laser light uniquely shines with a blue hue signature in the headlight housing, supplementing the high-beam for greater visibility.

LED daytime running lights

Announce your arrival on the road with distinct LED daytime running light signatures. On select models, customizable DRLs add personalization and complete the quintessential Audi look.

OLED taillights

More lightweight and efficient than LED, OLEDs produce high-contrast and segmented light that allows for considerable design freedom—which opens the door for dazzling taillight graphics and customization.
