The unique project presented the engineers from BMW Group, ZKW and Swarovski with major tasks. In order to make the crystals look like a grown crystal rather than jewellery, a special setting had to be developed. Special software was developed for the light functions of the “Iconic Glow” headlamp, which enables unique effects. In addition to the driving and flashing light, the premium lighting impresses, for example, with its sparkling “Welcome and Goodbye” light show.
The unique, luminous appearance of the “Iconic Glow” headlamp clearly stands out from the well-known light graphics. The precision is in the glass material, which can be processed much finer and more precisely than plastic.
ZKW has equipped the main headlight, which is hidden in the lower part of the BMW i7, with adaptive matrix LED technology for low and high beam as well as glare-free high beam assist (BMW Selective Beam) as standard.
Swarovski crystals for car headlights combine design and luxury with a new visual experience. Thanks to the high quality and durability, all crystal elements are resistant to UV light, heat, scratches and acids.
