Fog lights. Fog lights can be installed on cars at the bottom of the front bumper. They can only be turned on when the outdoor lighting is on.
Rear fog lights. The rear fog lamps are installed in the tail lamps. Fog lamps can be turned on with the button on the instrument panel only when the external lighting is on.
direction indicators. Turn signal lamps are installed in headlights, side and rear lights. Direction indicators include the left steering column switch (lamps of one side depending on the position of the switch) or alarm switch (all lamps at the same time).
Headlight electric corrector. The cars are equipped with an electric headlight corrector, which allows you to change the direction of the headlight beam in a vertical plane, depending on the load of the car.
Note. If the headlights suddenly begin to shine dimly, and when the turn signal is turned on, the marker lamp flashes, restore contact «mass» body wires.
Note. Get in the habit of changing bulbs regularly (especially the headlights). Over time, the bulb of the lamp becomes cloudy, the brightness of the lamp decreases. This process is quite slow, and the driver does not notice the gradual deterioration of road illumination.
Note. Recently, more and more cars have appeared whose headlights shine like a Christmas tree, in various shades of blue. All this is called the word «xenon» and is considered very cool. No doubt, xenon headlights, installed as standard on the latest models of foreign cars, illuminate the road much better, and the car looks much more impressive with them. It is not surprising that many are also trying to improve their car, especially since now a lot of «xenon» lamps of various manufactures (most often Chinese). Do not buy cheap: such lamps have nothing to do with real xenon discharge lamps without incandescent filaments. These are ordinary lamps with stained glass. The light transmittance of such glass is much lower than that of standard lamps, the threads of fakes, as a rule, are not installed in focus, a headlight with such a lamp, with external showiness, practically does not illuminate anything, only additionally mercilessly blinds oncoming drivers. In addition, manufacturers of such lamps, in order to compensate for the decrease in luminous flux, increase their power beyond the norm. Often their installation leads to melting of wire insulation and damage to electrical equipment. And a fire is also possible. Better not buy with your money «headache», and buy ordinary lamps of good quality.
