Automatic Headlight Brightness Switch Wiring diagram Schematic
Going by car the highway with your high-beam headlights can actually increase your visibility, but can be a blinding hazard for other drivers. This easy schema can be connected into your headlight swap to provide automatic swaping between high and reduced beam headlights when there is oncoming traffic. It does this by feeling the lights of that traffic. In this way, you can propel securely with your high-beams on without blinding other drivers.

- Q1 should me mounted in such a way so it points toward the front of the car with a clear line of site.
- Suitable places are on the dashboard, in the front grill, etc.
- Adjust all the pots for proper response by testing on a deserted road.
- S1 enables and disables the schema.B1 is, obviously, in the car already.
- Before you try to connect this schema, get a wiring diagram for your car.
- Some auto manufacturers do weird things with wiring.
- Connection A goes to the high beam schema, B goes to the headlight switch common and C connects to the low beam schema.
