Opel has equipped its new mid-size Cascada convertible with
sophisticated technology designed to improve the safety of the vehicle in addition
to its driving comfort. In this regard, the Rüsselsheim based car manufacturer
opted for Hella lighting technology for the tail lights. The functions of the
tail lights, rear fog lights and brake lights are all performed by the most
modern LED technology, and the entire tail light unit is fully integrated into
the trunk lid.
This means that the tail lights are
harmoniously integrated into the four seater's streamlined design. Particularly
recognizable is the arrow shaped LED tail light typical of Opel's aesthetics,
and implemented as a uniformly illuminated surface using a semi-transparent
lens. The brake lamp and the high mounted additional brake light are equally
impressive in LED, and both feature a consistent appearance thanks to their
coupling with a solid light conductor. Another unique element is the chrome bar
which spans the trunk lid.
This ornamental feature bisects the innermost ends of the tail lights, and posed a particular challenge in terms of production technology due to the very low tolerances involved. Meeting this challenge underlines the successful and cooperative partnership between Opel and Hella.
