Having tail lights is an important part of being a driver. They make you visible to other drivers and help you navigate the road more easily. They are also required by federal laws and state laws.
Tail lights are a bit of a complex system. They are wired to your vehicle's battery and are activated with the turn of a switch located on the front of your car's headlights. They also require a special relay to operate. The relay automatically turns on the lights when you turn on your headlights. This can save you from having to remember to turn on your tail lights and squawk when you come to a complete stop.
The best tail lights are able to illuminate a long way. This is due to their directional nature. It's also worth noting that halogen and xenon tail lights are both quite bright.
The LED tail lights are also a big step up in visibility and performance. They're about 0.2 seconds faster to light up than a conventional incandescent bulb. They also use less energy and last much longer.
Aside from their lighting function, tail lights are also important because they help other drivers understand your vehicle's shape, size and position. They're also a good way to avoid rear-end collisions.
Despite the many requirements, tail lights aren't as complicated to install or replace as you might think. In fact, a lot of aftermarket tail lights work with factory wiring.
