BODY PARTS & GLASS

Different car body parts:

• Glasses: Include the Windscreen , side or rear window and an optional glass panel roof on a vehicle.

High beams provide an intense, center-weighted distribution of light with no particular control of glare and should only be used when there are no visible cars in front.
• Tail lamps: These lights are required to produce only red light at the rear of the vehicle and are wired such that they are lit whenever the headlights are on. This helps drivers who are traveling behind you to recognize that you’re there and how far ahead you are.
