Lighting

It's hard to believe but at one time automotive lighting was a strictly utilitarian function, with small, mostly round lights that barely allowed you to see and be seen in the darkness. In contrast, today's car lights are at the convergence of high-tech illumination and cutting-edge automotive design. Both factory and aftermarket headlights and tail lights contain the latest in brilliant lighting technology like projector beams, LEDs, and fiber optics, and these lights are integrated into the body shape in ways so distinctive that in many cases lights have become a part of a vehicle's identity. Meanwhile, the color and brightness of interior and dash lighting in modern vehicles can be varied in ways that truly create a custom ambiance in the cockpit.
