What are all the lights on a car?

All vehicle lights include headlights, position lights, fog lights, license plate lights, reverse lights, turn signals, brake lights, clearance lights, and dome lights. In sedans, the headlights, front turn signals, and front position lights are assembled together, called the front combination lamp, while the rear turn signals, brake lights, rear position lights, rear fog lights, and reverse lights are assembled together, called the rear combination lamp. Related introduction: 1. Function of the front combination lamp: In situations with insufficient light (such as at night, in tunnels, underground garages, or rainy weather), to ensure driving safety, the sensor located above the dashboard on the inner side of the front windshield will automatically turn on the headlights, which will turn off when there is sufficient light. 2. Function of the rear combination lamp: To alert the behavior of the vehicle and remind the following vehicles to pay attention and avoid.
As a car owner with over 20 years of driving experience, I think the automotive lighting system is quite comprehensive. Starting from the front, the headlights are divided into low beams for road illumination and high beams for extended visibility without dazzling others. Daytime running lights enhance recognition during the day to prevent accidents. When turning, there are flashing indicators on all sides to signal direction, with side turn signals on the body to alert pedestrians. At the rear, the brake lights turn red when braking, reverse lights illuminate the ground in white when backing up, and rear fog lights enhance safety in heavy fog. There are also front fog lights for harsh weather conditions, and license plate lights at the back to illuminate the plate and avoid violations. Inside the car, the dome light assists with nighttime entry and exit, instrument panel lights display speed and fuel levels, and hazard lights (double flashing) warn others during temporary stops. These lights have evolved significantly from old halogen bulbs to modern LED technology. I regularly check and maintain them to ensure worry-free driving, as good lighting is essential for safe nighttime highway driving.
