Headlights & tail lights - performance through style - By: Louie Liu

For maintaining safety on the road it is essential that the driver of a vehicle is able to see clearly on the road at all times and in all weather conditions. That by itself is not enough, the others driving on the road should also be aware of the presence of that vehicle on the road. Headlights and tail lights help in achieving both of these objectives. During day time if there is bright sunlight a driver can clearly see ahead on the road. But at night or even in day time if the visibility is poor due to fog, mist, or any other reason; headlights have to be used. Besides being a safety feature the headlights are also being employed as a style component. Their location right in the front makes them a focus of onlookers' attention. It prompts their designers to create attractive and innovative designs for them. A well designed headlight also attracts attention even during day time.

A headlight assembly consists of a source of light, reflectors, lenses, and a housing in which the whole unit is sealed. Since the cars now move at much faster speed brighter sources of light are required. There are LED lights and halogen lights which are very bright. The reflectors and lenses can be manipulated by the driver to cast the beam of light on the right areas on the road. The housings are designed in attractive shapes and colors.

Tail lights of a vehicle indicate the presence of the vehicle to the driver of a following vehicle. They are of use in day time as well as night. They perform some more functions besides indicating the presence. They are a cluster of lights mounted on the rear of a vehicle. These lights also indicate whether the vehicle will be turning left or right. They also indicate whether the car is going to stop are it is to proceed in the reverse gear. All such information is crucial for safety in driving. Tail lights now cover a wider area on the rear of a car and serve as a decorative feature as well.
