Headlamp Light Source

Description

A headlamp light source provides a distribution of light designed to provide adequate forward and lateral illumination with limits on light directed towards the eyes of other road users, to control glare. This beam is intended for use whenever other vehicles are present ahead. Halogen, high-Intensity discharge (HID), light-emitting diode (LED), and laser are the most common headlights on the market.
