subject: All about Retro Car Lamps [print this page] Lights are created as a lighting tool to help the vision at the time of darkness. Therefore, the lamp is used as standard equipment on vehicles. However, the lights that are mounted on the vehicle have the function more than just a lighting tool in the dark. They include a means of communication among road users, so that you could see other people and vice verse.
On the front of the car, there are three sets of lights that must be installed and they have to function properly. They are the headlights (in the color of white), sunset or city lights (in the color of white), sein lights (in the color of yellow), and the fog lights that are sometimes added as standard equipment that is mounted on the front and back of the car.
Meanwhile, at the rear of the car, there are five sets of lights that become the standard equipment. They are a must to have for the vehicle. They include rear marker lights (red color), brake lights (red), sein lamp (yellow), lights to go back (white), and lights to brighten license plate (white).
All of the lights, instead of brake lights, can be activated from the levers and buttons near the steering handlebar. The position and usage of the levers can be found in the manual book of each vehicle.
In general, the main light switches, sein light switches, and pass lights of Japanese-made cars are located on the right handlebar steering. The shape of their lever is swivel model that consists of two levels of rotation.
When the lever that activates the main lights is "played once", the lights that will be active are city lights, rear marker lights, and lights to brighten license plate. You should activate the lights immediately when the daylight is fading, so that the vehicle can be seen by the other road users.
