The following is a list of vehicles that feature hidden headlamps (also called pop-up headlights). [1] The vast majority of hidden headlamps are on cars , however, there are a handful of vehicles included in the list that do not fit this category.
A headlight tester comprises a fully adjustable single optical collimated light lens assembly which is typically mounted on a vertical column or rail. The assembly is adjusted vertically to the actual height of the headlamp, which is typically around 500mm for passenger vehicles, but can be significantly higher for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs).
The Twilight Sentinel system uses a photoelectric cell to measure ambient light levels. This cell is typically mounted on the dashboard of the vehicle. [7] The system is designed to activate the vehicle's exterior lights when the ambient light falls below a certain threshold, typically corresponding to twilight conditions.
For instance, in 1983, Toyota exported their retractable headlight version of the AE86 (known domestically as the Sprinter Trueno) instead of the Corolla Levin, as the former had a higher headlamp height, enough to satisfy US regulations. [7] This prevented them from needing to raise the body height of the car, which would have affected handling.
OBD-II PIDs (On-board diagnostics Parameter IDs) are codes used to request data from a vehicle, used as a diagnostic tool.. SAE standard J1979 defines many OBD-II PIDs. All on-road vehicles and trucks sold in North America are required to support a subset of these codes, primarily for state mandated emissions inspections.
Some benefits of an automotive TSB are that by widely circulating among dealership service departments and mechanics an engineering-level description and solution for a problem common to type, year, make or model of car, a well-managed TSB process can save technicians troubleshooting time; provide organized, itemized repair procedures; and ...
UN Regulation 37 covers motor vehicle filament lamps. These are categorized in three groups: those without general restriction that can be used in any application, those acceptable only for signalling lights (not for road illumination lamps), and those no longer allowable as light sources for new type approvals but still permitted for production as replacement parts.
This is a list of auto parts, which are manufactured components of automobiles. This list reflects both fossil-fueled cars (using internal combustion engines) and electric vehicles; the list is not exhaustive. Many of these parts are also used on other motor vehicles such as trucks and buses.
