For experienced drivers, car lights are a very familiar thing. No matter it is day or night, sunny or rainy, they will have the opportunity to use them whenever they run on the road. However, many people have a vague understanding of car lights. They know how to operate them, but they may not know the correct way to use them, especially for novice car owners. Today I’m going to talk about these things about car lights, which can save lives at critical moments.
1. Car lights with the worst lighting effects
If you want to choose the car light with the worst lighting effect, I believe many people will vote for "high and low beam integrated headlights".
This lamp is very confusing because just by looking at the name, you can tell that it is quite high-tech. But its structure is actually very simple: only one lamp bead and one reflective bowl. Since the lamp bead has a low-beam filament and a high-beam filament integrated inside, the lamp can have both low-beam and high-beam functions.
This can indeed greatly reduce costs, but it will reduce the lighting effect.
2. Car lights with the lowest priority
Let me first correct a mistake that everyone often makes: when driving visibility is poor (such as on rainy days), we should turn on fog lights instead of double flash lights. I believe many people are wrong about this. The reason is simple, the fog lamp illumination effect is stronger.
The lowest priority light is recognized as the "rear fog light". Normally, before turning on the rear fog lights, you must turn on the high beam/low beam lights to make the rear fog lights effective. But as we have said before, because the fog lamp illumination effect is very strong, it is best not to turn on the rear fog lamp illumination unless necessary, otherwise it will easily affect the normal operation of the car behind.
3. Car lights that may affect safety
Today's cars are equipped with a lighting lamp inside, and some people call it a "reading lamp".
This light is generally used before the car starts or leaves the car. It must not be used when driving, especially at night. Because the lighting inside the car can make the driver's pupils smaller, thus affecting the driving vision, the situation outside the car cannot be clearly seen at this time. The more you wait to use it, the more dangerous it becomes.
4. Car lights that can charge the battery
If the vehicle battery loses power due to various accidents, we can use the license plate light as a temporary power bank. Just remove it, connect the positive pole of the power supply to the license plate light, connect the negative pole of the power supply to the body, and then press the unlock button to use the electronic unlocking function of the door.
5. Car lights linked to the sincerity of the manufacturer
In recent years, many car lights with technological functions have appeared on the market, such as intelligent voice interaction, but if you really want to check the sincerity of the manufacturer, you have to look at the rear fog lights and reversing lights. Although these two lights are mandatory by the state, some manufacturers will only equip them with one symbolically in order to save money. Therefore, if your car has two rear fog lights and two reversing lights, it means that the manufacturer is still very sincere.
6. Car lights with headlight cleaning function
The headlight cleaning function is nothing new, and its cost is not very expensive, but you can see that some low-end cars provide it, but some mid-to-high-end cars do not. In fact, whether the headlight cleaning function is installed or not has nothing to do with the price. Our country has such regulations: when the brightness of an individual headlight source reaches a certain value, the headlight cleaning function must be installed. As for the reason, the most important thing is that if too much dust accumulates on the lampshade, the high-light source car lamp will easily glare during operation, affecting driving safety.
7. Which cars have automatic headlights?
Generally, as long as your car is equipped with daytime running lights, it will also be supplied with automatic headlights, because we have such requirements in our national standards. The main reason for formulating this requirement is that the brightness ratio of daytime running lights is large. Under certain conditions, car owners will mistakenly think that the lights have been turned on, so as to avoid danger. Cars equipped with daytime running lights must be equipped with automatic headlights simultaneously. lamp.
