YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN THESE LIGHTS IN CAR!! CHECK OUT THEIR FUNCTION

We all know that headlights must be turned on at night – after all, you can’t exactly be a safe driver if you can’t see anything.

Even in the day, a car with headlights on is easier to spot than one with no headlights. It’s another precautionary measure on some newer vehicles to reduce the risks of collision.

Most studies done around the world have concluded that daytime running lights can decrease collisions by anywhere from 5 to 10 percent. This data is convincing enough that, in many countries, all automobiles sold are legally required to have DRLs installed. Canada, Norway, and Sweden are some of the many countries who abide by this law.
