Headlamp prototypes. LED housings. Optical & thermal.
Automotive lighting prototypes — headlamps, taillights, LED housings, optical lenses. Optical-grade clear plastics, thermal management, EMC compliance for vehicle electronics.
Automotive lighting prototyping
PC for impact + clarity. PMMA for clarity but brittle. Both standard automotive lighting.
Key principles.
PC + ABS
Polycarbonate-ABS housings. Clear PC lenses, painted reflector internals.
Aluminum 6061
LED thermal management. Extruded or CNC heat sinks integrated.
PMMA / PC
Clear plastic lenses for projection optics. SPI A1 polish.
Vacuum metallized
Aluminum-coated reflector surfaces. SPI A1 mold polish.
EPDM gaskets
IP67 sealed against road moisture. EPDM gaskets, O-ring grooves.
Aluminum PCB
LED PCB mounted to thermal substrate. Thermal interface material.
FAQ
PC for impact + clarity. PMMA for clarity but brittle. Both standard automotive lighting.
LEDs require active heat dissipation. Aluminum heat sinks, sometimes thermal grease + fan integration.
Aluminum vapor deposition for reflector surfaces. Cheaper than chrome plating, better optical.
IP67 standard for automotive lighting. Sealed against rain, road spray, washing.
Lighting must survive vehicle vibration. Robust mounting, fastener torque specs.
OEM: PPAP documentation, IATF 16949 compatible. Aftermarket: lower documentation requirements.
