The conventional bulb is coming to the end of an era. Within the next decades the incandescent bulb will diminish from the market. There are already bulb versions that are no longer available from production as of 2015 in the Automotive sector. This is the start of the bulb being phased out of the market. In addition to this, EU decisions have already been made to phase out certain types of incandescent bulb currently used in the home. Ford Interior Systems Team have revolutionised their vehicle content with respect to the Interior lighting. We have now not only moved from bulb to LED, we have also increased the vehicle's interior feel for the customer by introducing multiple ambient lighting features. These provide an improved sense of roominess and give a kind of "wow" factor to the vehicle. With the new technology that has been developed on the all new Focus, it has also allowed us to introduce numerous upgrades with regard to the functionality of the vehicle's interior/ambient lighting, for example; the new" Welcome and Farewell" and "Search mode".
