Ford is introducing Crystal Diamond Light to several new models this year. No, not the powdered drink flavoring mix.

Crystal Diamond Light is LED headlight technology debuting on the Ford F-150 and Ford Fusion this year. Compared with a halogen lamp, it uses less energy, produces brighter, bluer light, and is easier to create streamlined headlight designs with.

In addition to these benefits, Ford is making one extraordinary claim:

In order to handle the heavy loads and towing capability you'd expect out of your next truck, pickups like the 2015 Ford F-150 are designed with a bulky and sturdy frame, and for good reason. But that also creates a need for innovative and intuitive systems to be in place to maximize fuel efficiency where it's being sacrificed with a lack of aerodynamics. Check out what Ford's been doing to make the F-150 friendlier in terms of MPGs.
