Headlights function and task. General description and well-known manufacturers

Both headlights belong to the vehicle lighting, where they emit light in the direction of travel if necessary. Its main task is to illuminate the roadway, mainly in darkness and poor visibility. Low beams are generally used, and high beams with greater range can be used where there are no other drivers in range of being blinded. Usually the headlights consist of a lamp and a reflector in the form of a parabolic mirror which concentrates the light into a beam. The headlight lens has fluting to ensure the uniform dispersion of the light. Also, often also special free form reflectors are found in modern headlamps for the concentration and dispersion of light. There are different systems for generating actual light. Halogen headlights with H3, HB3-, H7 and H9 bulbs are still frequently used. There are headlights with particularly bright Xenon lamps or LED headlamps, which use light emitting diodes to generate light. In some vehicle models, there are function headlights with extra features such as adaptive high beam assistance, cornering lights or headlights with escort function. HELLA, JOHNS, DIEDERICHS, VAN WEZEL, BOSCH, TYC and VALEO are among the well-known manufacturers of lamps and accessories.
