The headlight switch
The headlight switch operates the exterior and interior lights of most vehicles. The headlight switch is connected directly to the battery through a fusible link and has continuous power or is "hot" all the time. A circuit breaker is built into most headlight switches to protect the headlight circuit. The interior dash lights can be dimmed manually by rotating the headlight switch knob, which controls a variable resistor built into the headlight switch. The rheostat drops the voltage sent to the dash lights.
Dimmer switches
The headlight switch controls the power or hot side of the headlight circuit. The current is then sent to the dimmer switch, which allows current to flow to either the high-beam or the low-beam filament of the headlight bulb. An indicator on the dash whenever the bright light illuminates is selected.
Foglamps
Foglamps provide a wide, bar-shaped beam of light with a sharp cutoff at the top, and are generally aimed and mounted low. They may be either white or selective yellow. They are intended for use at low speed to increase the illumination directed towards the road surface and verges in conditions of poor visibility due to rain, fog, dust or snow.
Parking lamps (Front position lamps)
Nighttime standing-vehicle conspicuity to the front is provided by front position lamps, known as parking lamps or parking lights. The front position lamps may emit white or amber light. With the vehicle's ignition switched off, the operator may activate low-intensity lights at the front and rear on both the left and the right sides of the car.This function is used when parking in narrow unlit streets to provide parked-vehicle conspicuity to approaching drivers.
Tail lamps (Rear position lamps)
Nighttime vehicle conspicuity to the rear is provided by two rear position lamps (tail lamp, taillight or rear light). They are required to produce only red light, and to be wired such that they are lit whenever the front position lamps are illuminated, including when the headlamps are on. Rear position lamps may be combined with the vehicles brake lamps, or separate from them. In combined-function installations, the lamps produce brighter red light for the brake lamp function, and dimmer red light for the rear position lamp function.
Rear registration plate lamp
The rear registration plate must be illuminated by a white lamp whenever the position lamps are active.
Turn signals
Turn signals are signal lights mounted near the left and right front and rear corners,and sometimes on the sides of vehicles, used to indicate to other drivers that the operator intends a lateral change of position (turn or lane change).
