Side-lights
The side-lights are devices of lighting used on the vehicles in particular Automobile to make it possible to announce their presences to the other users, the night and when the conditions of visibilities are bad.
Called commonly “lanterns” or “night lights”, these fires, of white color with before and red with the back, are useful components as regards Road safety, especially in a not very luminous environment, in rainy weather, under a tunnel or the night. They do not light sufficiently to be able to drive the vehicle of night or in the event of bad visibility: in the darkness, the driver must use the dipped headlights (or “codes”) of its vehicle, with the larger range and the more intense luminosity. The side-lights remain generally lit at the same time as the dipped headlights.
In France, the R416-8 article of the highway code specifies that the side-lights must be lit at the same time “as the headlights dipped if no point of the lighting beach of those is with less than 400 mm of the end of the overall width of the vehicle” and, in all the cases “at the same time as the fog lights”.
The side-lights must also be used in the event of stop or of parking on a roadway slightly enlightened.
In addition, the “cycles as their trailer” must circulate with the lit side-lights.
