The exterior lights of the vehicle is an essential part for the safety of people, both passengers and pedestrians, so it is good to know when they are occupied.
When to use the lights of my car correctly?
You should know that the rear lights are red, the sides or amber directional, reversed in white and the yellow front or white light, except in emergency vehicles. The types of lights can be halogen, xenon, LED and recently laser projection.
SHORT LIGHTS
It is safest to use them during the day and always at night. They are also the option for days of fog, rain or before any atmospheric phenomenon that does not allow you to see. Cooper Tires reminds us that they should also be used in tunnels and reversible lanes.
HIGH BEAMS
It is advisable to use them only at night, on roads or on poorly lit roads. In order to avoid accidents, use in cities should be avoided.
If you are on the road with high lights or in reversible lanes it is recommended to change lights when a vehicle approaches in the opposite direction.
BLINKING LIGHTS
You will use them to indicate that you have stopped the vehicle due to a fault or external factor. You should also use them when you park for a short time on some street.
TURN SIGNALS
They are flashing lights that you must use, both day and night, when wanting to turn left or right. With that you will indicate to the drivers that you will go to the desired address.
FOGLAMPS
Designed specifically for fog. For what you want, do not use them in normal conditions, as they can dazzle other drivers - many vehicles have taillights and these affect the drivers' sight. If the fog is very heavy it is also recommended to use turn signals.
