What more do you need in the lighting department

A headlight, a sidelight, and an indicator light on the left

This seems to have all six...

headlight bulb out on the Mazda. Looks as though it is going to be as interesting and awful a job as with the C5 Mk 1.
They are rubbish too.

I don't think those are quite standard headlamps on that S3 They appear a bit too clear for Lucas ones - you shouldn't be able to see the lamp that easily.

You may remember like me Peugeot's "The Lion Goes from Strength to Strength", but has anyone picked up the Peugeot's Lion's signature "Claws" in its lighting design.

The Peugeot Claw the Genesis of the Luminous LED Signature

One of those aspects was the luminous “front claw” LED signature, making the car strongly distinctive and imposing the “Lion” DNA into the car’s design.

In 2019, it was the 208 and 2008’s turn. The two models marked a strong leap forward in technological terms in the segment to which they belong. So Peugeot designers not only added the “front claw” design up front but the “triple claw” design in both vehicles’ LED taillight designs. It allowed the vehicles to again be instantly identifiable from not only the front but the rear this time.

With the recent introductions of the new 308 hatchbacks and 308 wagons, Peugeot has taken the luminous claw signature and combined it (depending on the trim) with the new Matrix LED lighting.

Matrix LED lighting has had an outing on here before, Mercs/Audi but may become more of a thing. It you have it dont ever break a headlight, you may find the car written off as uneconomic to repair

I started a complimentary thread "Bulbs and headlights general and legal which generated a bit of discussion and a few pages interesting reading.

That is where the Audi and Mercedes matrix offerings were presented. Looks like digital matrix lights are morphing down market from Mercedes S-Class, and certainly the fixed irreplaceable LED units are. Crikey I even installed a LED lighting unit in the bathroom at Chez Falcon, no changeable bulbs at all but a supposed 15,000 hours before it goes kaput.

I'll hide the Audi and Merc vids in the spoiler...watch if you want.
