This paper presents applied physical proto results as a proof of technical concept of the patent: “Specific Lens
design for Automotive Headlamps” (European Patent Office, Specific Lens design for Automotive Headlamps: European
Patent Office, The Hague PCT/TR2020/051125; 11/2021). It includes the base explanations of bending/cornering lights
features; the relevant European regulations; and then proposes the new idea with defined new optomechanical targets. It gets
deeper with design of the new non-uniform surface lens in five different versions for which the patent is applied on version 5
and it continues with physical proto construction of the complete LED Module; assembly of the module in the automotive
headlights; making the new module functional in the headlamp and finally giving the applied physical results with a night drive
test.
