Headlights of vehicles have changed and evolved over the years. They are no longer a simple pair of two lamps at the front end of the vehicle as they used to be at one time. Changes have come up because the conditions demanded them and also because there had been some technological developments which were adapted for headlights. The cars now move much faster then they did in the earlier years. The driver gets much less time to react if he sees any hazard on the road. He, therefore, needs a longer stretch of road to be illuminated in front of him. Fortunately there are brighter sources of lights now like halogen lights, LED lights, or HID (High Intensity Discharge) lights which are also used in headlights. It is not enough that the light is bright; it should illuminate right areas on the road. For this purpose there are reflectors and lenses in the headlight assembly which can be manipulated by the driver to cast the beam of light in the right direction. It has also to be ensured that the headlights do not blind the driver of the vehicle coming from the opposite side. For this purpose headlights are properly located and dimmers ...
... are used. The whole assembly of headlights is packed inside a case called ‘housing’. Housings are made in attractive designs in a variety of colors to also serve as an item of adornment.

No doubt, headlights are an important safety feature to be used at night or when visibility is poor, but they only help the driver to notice the hazard. To avoid the hazard or get round it he has to use the steering wheel. The steering wheel lies at one end of the steering system and it is operated by the driver. The driver’s instructions are transmitted to the wheels of the vehicle through a mechanical device or a partly electronic device. Before using it the height of steering wheel has to be properly adjusted so that the driver can easily manipulate it and can see clearly on the road without stretching.
