Abstract

A vehicular LED headlamp eyelid apparatus is disclosed. The vehicular headlamp eyelid apparatus is attached to a vehicle'"'"'s headlamp and comprises a plurality of LED lights capable of illuminating in patterns signaled by the vehicle. The occlusion resulting from one or more segments of the LED eyelids modifies the overall appearance of the headlamp. The vehicular LED headlamp eyelid is made at least in part of lightweight material such that there results in little impact upon the drag profile of the vehicle.
