Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle lighting technology, and in particular to a headlight with auxiliary signal light. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicle lights are an essential safety device on automobiles, including headlights and taillights. Headlights have various functional light modules, each serving a different lighting function, including but not limited to position lights and turn signals. To facilitate identification of the lighting function of a particular light module, the lighting effects of modules with different functions need to be distinct, allowing for easy identification when the corresponding light module is illuminated.

[0003] In existing headlights, the differences in lighting effects between different headlight modules with different lighting functions are not significant enough, and the implementation methods are relatively simple. Position lights and turn signals both emit light directly from the light source to form light, and the differences in lighting effects are mostly in the intensity of the light. For example, turn signals are brighter, while position lights are weaker, making the lighting effects relatively simple and lacking in significance. The differences in lighting effects between different headlight modules with different lighting functions cannot meet the needs of users. Summary of the Invention
