Before electric lighting was available, early automobiles used fuel-powered lamps. The headlights and taillights of the Ford Model were made of carbide and oil lamps, respectively. It took a while after its debut before it had all-electric brightness as a regular feature. Around 1908, dynamos for car headlights were first installed, and by the 1920s, they were standard issue.First "auto signalling arm," a forerunner of the modern turn signal, and the first automatic brake signal were both created by silent movie star Florence Lawrence. But since she didn't patent these ideas, neither of them were acknowledged as hers, and she didn't make any money off of them. [1][2][3] Around 1915, brake and tail lights were developed, and low-beam or dipping beam headlights were readily available by 1919. In the US, beam headlights became the sole type recognised in 1940 after being introduced in 1936. In 1940, inner turn signals were invented. By 1945, signal and headlights had been incorporated into the body's design. In 1960, halogen headlights were invented in Europe. Starting in 1991, increased discharge (Kept) headlights were manufactured. The first mass-produced automobiles equipped with LED taillights did so in 1993, while LED headlights followed in the 2000s.

 The geneva Convention on Car Traffic and the 1968 World Conference on Road Traffic both codified established standards that in large part regulate the colour emitted by vehicle lights.    With certain regional exclusions, lights facing forward shall emit white or selected yellow light, whereas lights facing sideways and all hazard flashers must emit red light. Other than on emergency vehicles, no other colours are allowed. Countries that have not ratified the 1949 and/or 1968 Conventions may have slightly different requirements for vehicle lighting colour specifications; North American turn signals and side marker lights are two examples; these lights are covered in more detail in the sections that follow. Low beam headlights, also known as dipped beams, passing beam, or gathering beams, offer sufficient lateral and forward lighting without blinding other drivers with severe glare. This beam is intended to be used whenever there are other vehicles up ahead.

For dipped beam headlights, UN ECE regulations define a beam with an abrupt, asymmetric cut-off; the portion of the beam that is closest to incoming vehicles is flattened and low, while the portion that is closest to the edge of the roadway slopes up and towards near side of the roadway. With sufficient illumination, drivers may still see walkers, road signs, dangers, etc. on the side of the highway while also effectively preventing glare for approaching traffic. [8] [9] UN ECE norms are replaced with the exclusive Called for a “ / CMVSS standards used in the United States of America. These standards include requirements for dropped beam headlamps that also call for a beam with an abrupt, asymmetric cutoff; the portion of the beam that is closest to approaching vehicles is also flattened and low, though not quite as low as required by UN ECE regulations. Although taller than the part closest to approaching vehicles, the portion of the light closest to the exterior of the road is similarly flat. Compared to headlights that comply with UN ECE requirements, this causes noticeably more glare for approaching drivers and also less effective light of the nearer side of the road. UN ECE norms are replaced with the exclusive FMVSS / CMVSS specifications used in the Americas and Canada. These standards include requirements for dipped flood headlights that also call for a beam with an abrupt, asymmetric cutoff; the portion of the beam that is closest to approaching vehicles is indeed flat and low, though not quite as low as required by UN ECE regulations. Although taller than the side closest to approaching vehicles, the half of the ray nearest to the edge of the street is similarly flat. Compared to headlights that comply with UN ECE requirements, this causes noticeably more glare for approaching drivers and also less effective lighting of the nearer side of the road. On some vehicles, cornering lights provide white light with a constant intensity for lateral illumination during lane changes or intended turns. They may be connected to also glow when the car is put into reverse, and they are typically activated in tandem with the turn signals. Some contemporary automobiles, despite of whether a contact signal has been activated, will switch on the corner lights on either one or the other side so when wheel input reaches a specific angle in that direction.

 

Both front and rear cornering lights are mentioned in American technical standards .In accordance with international UN regulations, cornering lights had historically been forbidden, however provisions have recently made made to allow these as long as they are only operational when while the vehicle is moving at a speed of under 40 kph (approximately 25 mph). Rearward visibility devices is lights и reflectors that draw attention to a vehicle's presence, location, direction of movement, direction change, and slowdown. Depending on their primary and prescribed function, these lights may be constant, blinking, or flashing. Most must be fastened in twos left and one totally correct some vehicles possess multiple sets (such as multiple left and 2 different stop headlamps) and/or repetitive light sources (perhaps one left and one okay stop light, each comprising two bulbs). Some nations allow or mandate daytime running lights for automobiles (DRLs). The role of these lights may be performed by the low beam or beam spotlights, the front turn signaling, or the front fog lights, depending on the rules of the nation for which the vehicle was manufactured and  Large vehicle (trucks + buses) type certified since August 2012 and sedans and small distribution vans first sort approved to UN Resolution 48 after or on 7 February 2011 are required to have DRLS .Functional piggybacking is not allowed, such as employing the beams, front turn indications, or fog lamps as DRLs;[37] the Eu Regulation requires installed, functionally defined daytime running lights that are in compliance with UN Regulation.
