4. Dusk Sensing Headlights
Dusk-sensing headlights typically use an ambient light sensor to measure the brightness of the surrounding environment. This sensor is usually hidden inside a little dome at the base of the windscreen, although some manufacturers install the sensors at the top of the windshield. When the surrounding environment is a little too dark for a little too long, the sensor will instruct the headlights, as well as the instrument and dashboard lights, to turn on. Once brightness reaches regular daylight levels again it will turn the headlights and instrument lighting off, all this is done automatically without the intervention of the driver. Pretty cool, eh?
