Dayline headlights

What are Dayline headlights?

Dayline headlights are currently an essential part of new cars. Modern lighting usually consists of a row of 5 to 10 small LEDs. These can be placed in a straight line or in a circle. As the name suggests, LED lighting is ideal to have on during the day. Another word for Dayline headlights is position lights. If your vehicle is not equipped with standard position lights, you can also buy them separately. LED lighting provides super clear white light and therefore not only gives your vehicle a solid look, but it also improves visibility on the road. LED lighting comes on immediately after starting the engine and immediately gives a clear light image. When you switch to normal lighting, the position lights turn 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 where no position lights are flush mounted, there is an option to install the position lights yourself. At TRALERT®, different types of position lights are available in the range.

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.
