A uniform standardized platform for turn indicators reduces the number of different lighting solutions in cars. This significantly reduces overall costs for automakers in many areas, including supply chain, development and quality control. The reuse of design modules and the same platforms avoids loss of time. With a standardized platform, it enables easy replacement of light sources and reduces the need for repair operations, which in turn reduces costs. From the summer of 2018, the new XLS product family began to take to the streets of Japan with the new Toyota Corolla Sport model. Osram XLS continues to work to expand its product portfolio.
