What is the difference between spoon lights and angel eyes?
2 Answers
Spoon lights and angel eyes are basically identical except for the light source, which is LED in both. Angel eyes still look like the old model at night, while spoon lights are immediately recognizable as the new model. Even without the M Sport package, changing from angel eyes to spoon lights looks very attractive. The specific differences between spoon lights and angel eyes are as follows: 1. The turn signal for angel eyes is a halogen dot in the corner, while the turn signal for spoon lights is an LED light strip on top (i.e., the position of the eyebrow light). 2. Spoon lights have adaptive lighting and cornering headlight functions, which angel eyes lack. 3. The two central "eyeballs" in angel eyes do not light up. 4. In terms of appearance, spoon lights are more beautiful and stylish than angel eyes, and they also have a more technological feel.
I've been driving a Hyundai with spoon-shaped lights for several years. These lights feature a curved design resembling a spoon, integrated at the edges of the headlight assembly, creating a sleek and stylish look. They are primarily composed of LED light strips, which are cost-effective and easy to maintain. In contrast, my friend's BMW with angel eyes is completely different. The angel eyes consist of a circular halo surrounding the entire headlight, originating from BMW's classic design, offering extremely high recognition. Especially at night or in foggy conditions, the outline is clearly visible from all angles, enhancing safety. However, angel eyes come with higher maintenance costs due to their unique halo material that is prone to aging and discoloration. Spoon-shaped lights, on the other hand, use common and inexpensive parts, making them highly practical. Both serve as daytime running lights in terms of functionality, but they differ greatly in visual style: spoon-shaped lights represent the modern minimalist trend, while angel eyes are a retro icon, influencing the overall vehicle's character.
