What are Dayline headlights?
Definition
Dayline headlights have now become an indispensable feature of new cars. Modern lighting usually consists of a row of 5 to 10 small LEDs. These can be arranged in a straight line or in a circle. As the name suggests, LED lighting is ideal for use during the day. Another term for Dayline headlights is position lights. If your vehicle is not fitted with standard position lights, you can also purchase them separately. LED lighting provides a super-clear white light, which not only gives your vehicle a robust appearance but also improves visibility on the road. LED lighting comes on immediately after starting the engine and provides a clear beam pattern straight away. When you switch to normal headlights, the position lights switch off automatically.
Regulations concerning dayline headlights
There are currently still many uncertainties regarding the regulation of position lights. Research has shown that many people think that position lights are prohibited. However, the opposite is true. The lighting is mandatory for cars produced from February 2011 onwards. The same rules apply to trucks. The regulations for trucks came into force from August 2012. Because LED lighting will increase visibility for road users and fellow road users, this law will further reduce the number of traffic accidents.
Installing dayline headlights yourself
For those driving a vehicle with no flush mounting of position lights, it is possible to fit them yourself. TRALERT® offers a range of different types of position lights.
Advantages of dayline headlights
One of the biggest benefits of dayline headlights is the reduction in traffic accidents. This is partly because visibility for road users and fellow road users is increased. If you use dayline position lights, the use of low beam lights will decrease. This means your low beam lights will last longer. Position lights consume a lot less power than normal lighting.
