Cornering light
Cornering light is produced by vehicle headlights by switching in extra lighting to supplement the dipped beam on tight bends, at junctions or when turning into a road.

Headlight bulb
Since the introduction of the H1 bulb in 1960, halogen bulbs have been an integral component of headlight illumination. Although in the intervening years Xenon technology, which has much higher light intensity...
Headlight cleaning system
Headlight cleaning systems are systems to clean the front headlights of vehicles. They improve visibility in the darkness and prevent glare for oncoming traffic due to diffused light.
Headlight cleaning systems are legally prescribed for light sources with a luminous flux of over 2000 lumens. This includes Xenon headlights in particular (exception: 25-watt version).
In the past, headlight cleaning systems were often designed with small wipers which were supposed to move the dirt away; nowadays, a cleaning principle using water jets is prevalent. The advantages are the simple design and a more discreet appearance.
Headlights
The primary task of headlights on cars is to illuminate the roadway and facilitate fatigue-free and safe driving. Headlights and their light sources are thus vehicle components that are relevant to safety...
High beam and dipped beam
The dipped beam is intended to ensure optimum illumination of the road surface without dazzling drivers in oncoming traffic. The high-beam lamp is a statutory requirement. It is usually incorporated into the front headlights.
LED headlights
LED headlights are headlights which use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as light source.
Rear light
Rear lights provide greater safety in road traffic, particularly in the dark. They include tail lights, brake lights, reversing lights, rear fog lights and turn signals.
Xenon headlight
Xenon headlights are car headlights which feature a xenon gas-discharge lamp in the dipped beam or high beam. They provide more intensive illumination than conventional halogen bulbs.
