Fog lights. Vehicles may be equipped with fog lights at the bottom of the front bumper. They can only be turned on when the exterior lights are on.
Rear fog lights. The rear fog lamps are installed in the rear lights. The fog lamps can be turned on using the button on the instrument panel only when the outside lights are on.
Direction indicators. The turn signal lamps are installed in the headlights, side and rear lights. The turn signals are turned on by the left steering column switch (lamps on one side depending on the switch position) or the hazard warning switch (all lamps simultaneously).
Electric headlight corrector. An electric headlight beam corrector is installed on cars, allowing the direction of the headlight beam to be changed in the vertical plane depending on the car load.
Note: If the headlights suddenly start to shine dimly, and the parking light flashes when the turn signal is turned on, restore the contact of the ground wire with the body.
Note: Make it a habit to change bulbs regularly (especially headlights). Over time, the bulb becomes cloudy, the brightness of the bulb decreases. This process occurs quite slowly, and the driver does not notice the gradual deterioration of road illumination.
Note. Recently, more and more cars have appeared with headlights that shine like a Christmas tree, in various shades of blue. All this is called the word "xenon" and is considered very cool. There is no dispute that xenon headlights, installed as standard on the latest models of foreign cars, illuminate the road much better, and the car with them looks much more impressive. It is not surprising that many are also trying to improve their cars, especially since now a lot of "xenon" lamps of various manufactures (most often Chinese) have appeared on the shelves. Do not buy into cheap stuff: such lamps have nothing in common with real xenon gas-discharge lamps without filaments. These are ordinary lamps with colored glass. The light transmittance of such glass is significantly lower than that of standard lamps, the filaments of fakes are usually installed out of focus, a headlight with such a lamp, despite its external effectiveness, 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 above the norm. Often, their installation leads to melting of wire insulation and damage to electrical equipment. And a fire is also possible. It is better not to buy a "headache" for your money, but buy ordinary lamps of good quality.
