How to use car lights at night and 'light glancing' technology

Due to the awareness of using high-beam and low-beam lights, many people have the habit of not lowering their high-beam lights when necessary; this causes other drivers to try to increase the brightness of their vehicles.

Accordingly, the method of causing glare is determined to be due to the headlights not being lowered and especially the fact that many car owners are equipping additional light strips with excessive brightness.

So, first of all, we need to improve the culture of using high-beams and low-beams. When meeting oncoming vehicles, drivers need to lower their lights so they can see the road. Even when there is a vehicle in front of them going in the same direction, they must do the same to avoid dazzling others through the mirrors. And if they try not to dazzle others, others will try to respond in kind.

According to the manufacturer's announcement, the LED lighting system on Mercedes-Benz cars can automatically "glance" according to the steering angle, automatically adjust the high beam range, highway mode - when the car reaches a speed of 90 km/h or more, the light beam will be extended to both sides, empty road mode - increase the lighting intensity and extend to the opposite lane, fog lights - adjust the driver's side front light cluster to rotate the light beam inward to see the roadside more clearly.

The intelligent lighting system on Mercedes-Benz vehicles allows drivers to see the road well.

However, no matter how far companies develop those features, the core problem that needs to be solved is the awareness of traffic participants in using lights: "That system will still not be able to completely protect passengers in cars if many drivers continue to install LED strips that increase brightness and shine directly at other vehicles as they do now."
