Automatic headlamps are just like regular units - with one crucial exception. They turn on and off without any input from the driver, proving a vital component to any late-night adventure.Â
This system relies on photoelectric sensors mounted under or above the windshield. These detectors measure illumination much like a photographer's light meter and, if needed, tell the onboard computer to engage the headlamps. This affords superior visibility in low-level environments (such as when driving through fog) or at night.Â
Additionally: while the sensitivity of the system gets set by the manufacturer, you can override it. This could be necessary if the sensors do not respond to precipitation, for example, or if they get fooled by artificial lights.
Automatic headlights are an invaluable tool that helps operators ensure they always have the correct illumination. Some systems also come with a self-levelling feature, which detects oncoming vehicles at night and switches off the high beams to avoid blinding other drivers - a crucial function when passing on narrow streets with low side-to-side visibility.Â
