Unfortunately these bad boys won’t be headed to the U.S. anytime soon.

Mercedes-Benz is working on an updated version of its CLS-Class for the 2015 model year and has confirmed that the car will feature the automaker’s new MultiBeam LED headlights. The technology is similar to Audi’s Matrix LED headlights in the sense that it incorporates LEDs to project high-precision lighting of the car’s high beam, so that it can be controlled in a way that it isn’t a nuisance to other drivers.

In essence, it is used so the vehicle’s high beams can be left on. Unfortunately the technology is unlikely to be headed to the U.S. due to a vehicular law stating cars must be equipped with separate high beam and low beam modes. The particular instance goes the same for Audi’s Matrix LED lights, which aren’t offered in the states either.

What makes these lights so special is the number of LED’s within the headlight. With 24 individually-controlled LEDs, that can automatically illuminate a road with precision-controlled distribution of a high-beam’s light path—without dazzling other road users.

A special camera positioned behind the windscreen delivers the information with which four control units adjust the ideal light pattern at approximately 100 times per second. If oncoming traffic or vehicles in front are detected, the headlights mechanically masks them out of the light path of the main beam so that the drivers are not blinded.

Each headlight is also stocked with further module for the low-beam mode which is equipped with four LEDs. If the camera senses a bend in the road approaching, it can automatically redirect the lights to swivel outward by as much as twelve degrees to light up a bend before the driver has even had a chance to turn the wheel.

The additional light output of the technology in the MultiBeam LED headlamps is not only used to increase the performance in partial high-beam operation, but also for high-beam operation. Even though the latter is activated significantly less due to traffic density, the range of the high beams was increased by about 20% to about 485 m.

Another cool added utility is the automated taillight intensity control. If the Mercedes driver presses the brake pedal while stopped at traffic lights at night, the brightness of the brake lights will be automatically dimmed to avoid dazzling anyone behind.

Lastly, is the ‘welcome home’ feature. When the car is unlocked, the headlights will emit a pleasant ‘blue light’ to acknowledge the drivers return.

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class is expected to be revealed in the coming months. In addition to the new headlight technology and some styling tweaks, the vehicle is expected to feature an updated powertrain lineup and Mercedes’ new 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission.
