Can your car lights pass the IIHS safety detection?


IIHS, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is an independent nonprofit science and educational institution established in 1959 and has been working to reduce the number of casualties caused by motor vehicle collisions for decades. Since last year, the car lights have been taken into its detection range, as an important indicator of vehicle safety rating.

IIHS said, “Despite the lighting technology has made considerable progress, today many vehicles lights are still not satisfied.”

The latest test results show that among 38 cars in the top safety level, only 7 car's evaluation results are good, the rest are qualified or even barely pass the test. Some of the advanced fancy cars such as the Tesla Model S, only get "Poor" rating. If you want to know your car light is qualified or not or you want to replace your car light to another good -quality one, here are some wholesale LED car lights for you to choose.

So what’s the detection standard of this test?
1. Lighting effect & glare effect

IIHS engineers will measure the light in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is running in straight and curve, and measure the illuminance of the light at a distance from the vehicle.

2. Visibility comparison

We can find that different cars have different visibility at the same location.

3. Best exposure distance standard

Both the low beam and the high beam have different measurement methods on both the straight line and the curve.

Car lights modification becomes a fashion
Car lighting has become an indispensable ornament of car modeling, with the popularity of car modification, lighting modification such as car underglow decorations began to pop. Lighting components are manufactured and installed to standard specifications, all EU automotive lighting and signaling devices must meet the ECE-R48-01 and other relevant laws and regulations, and the United States and Canada follow the FVMSS standard 108.
