LED FOG LAMP DESIGN FOR AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATION

Abstract

General Motors currently utilizes halogen bulb technology as the light source for front fog lamp applications. However, halogen bulbs have limited life, large warranty costs, and limit design creativity and size due to the physical construction. Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology has the potential to improve upon these areas. The objective of this project is to replace the traditional halogen light source with an LED for front fog lamp application. Our goal is to develop a robust LED front fog lamp design that meets the GM Design “Best Practices” and can be manufactured on a high volume basis for less than $13.50/part.
