"Jeweled" is the industry name for headlamps that are completely clear and give the front of the car a more three-dimensional look. Also a big trend, designer lighting is used both inside and around the car to give vehicles a signature look. But, it's not all just for design sake. Many new lighting elements improve safety as well. Several manufacturers are offering adaptive headlights that turn as the car turns -- giving the driver visibility when going around the corners at night. They've also made it safer for the driver by adding LED spots that you can direct on the task of the passengers instead of turning on the dome light.
