Headlights

Headlights

A headlamp is a lamp attached to the front of a vehicle to illuminate the road ahead. Headlamps are also often called headlights, but in the most precise usage, headlamp is the term for the device itself and headlight is the term for the beam of light produced and distributed by the device.

Headlamp performance has steadily improved throughout the automobile age, spurred by the great disparity between daytime and nighttime traffic fatalities: the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration states that nearly half of all traffic-related fatalities occur in the dark, despite only 25% of traffic traveling during darkness.

Dipped headlights

Dipped headlights are the most commonly used headlights; brighter than sidelights, but not as bright as full beam headlights. 

They get their name as they are angled downwards, towards the road. The switch to turn them on is usually found on a dashboard dial or twisted indicator stalk, although many newer cars have running lights that work without input from the driver.

Full beam headlights

Full beam headlights are the brightest type of headlight on normal vehicles. 

They are angled higher than dipped headlights, allowing you to see more of the road, and are sometimes known as high beams. 

The switch to turn them on is usually found near the switch for dipped headlights and they may use a different set of bulbs.

Hazard warning lights

Your hazard lights can be seen at all corners of your car - they’re the lights usually used as your indicators. 

The blinking amber lights are used to warn other drivers of danger or obstructions on the road, and the dashboard button is indicated with a triangle shape as shown above.
