Different Types of Headlights Explained Headlights play a significant role in shaping a car's overall appearance and personality. Their design can contribute to the vehicle's aesthetic appeal and help define its unique character, making them a crucial aspect of automotive design and styling. Headlights today are undergoing some of the biggest technological changes seen in the history of the automobile, from Carbide Lamps used in the early days of cars to laser lights of the modern era. The earliest headlights were found in the late 1880s, fuelled by Acetylene Gas or Oil. Back when cars were in their infancy, headlights were flames, burning behind glass lenses and fed with acetylene gas. they were quite similar to the gas lamps used in homes during that time. The first electric headlight was introduced in the year 1898 by the Electric Vehicle Company and in 1904 American automaker Peerless was the first manufacturer to introduce electric headlights across its range. Four years later, British-based supplier Pockley Automobile Electric Lighting offered a complete set of electric lights including headlights, tail lights, and sidelights, which were powered by an eight-volt electric battery. When you picture old, classic cars, you probably imagine cars with sealed beam headlights. By 1939, sealed beam lights had been introduced, and became compulsory on all vehicles in the US between 1940 and 1983. They used a parabolic reflector, as well as a lens and a filament sealed together, to offer a brighter, more focused light. In the earlier 60s halogen headlights instantly became the standard tech in Europe. In 1962, a French, German, and Italian consortium of bulb- and headlamp-makers produced the first vehicle-mounted halogen lamps. These provided brighter, more durable headlights due to the way the halogen gas reacted with the tungsten. This process gave drivers much higher road visibility, particularly on high beam settings. ---- Time Stamp --- 00:00 - Introduction 00:46 - Evolution of Headlights 01:26 - Carbide Lamps 03:22 - Electric Headlights 05:24 - Sealed Beam Headlights 06:23 - Halogen 08:41 - Xenon / HID 11:17 - LED 13:31 - Adaptive Headlights 15:02 - Matrix 16:08 - Laser #headlight #carheadlight Check out more videos: ADAS Levels - https://youtu.be/EiWl5PAtfYA?si=8Z6l34KAc_6KBPsv Dashboard Warning Lights - https://youtu.be/k13sZJlJ6Ag?si=1p0aFhX9Tty6UXVb Types of Tires - https://youtu.be/CY-lepLUMx8?si=RKCw3_1HPyQk00Of Follow us on Facebook:- https://www.facebook.com/fanpageengineerspost Instagram:- https://www.instagram.com/the_engineers_post/ Pinterest:- https://in.pinterest.com/theengineerspost/ Contact us: hello.theengineerspost@gmail.com Visit our Website for more articles:- https://www.theengineerspost.com/ Disclaimer: This video is for educational purposes only.
