Abstract
A vehicular light control system for controlling the illumination of a vehicle'"'"'s external directional/turn signaling and/or hazard warning lights, by controlling continuous illumination of pairs of the brightest signal filaments of either dual or single filament bulb designed vehicles, where such bulbs were previously flash only and underutilized. The system operates to control the brightest filaments when the operator wishes to draw attention to the vehicle for safety, or for visibility and utility purposes, without the same system negatively affecting normal operation of existing turn signal/hazard warning systems. The system automatically and manually controls the light output as desired by the vehicle operator, incorporates the vehicle'"'"'s internal turn signal bulb-out indication subsystem to continuously monitor the target bulbs for an open circuit/burn out event, and employs an automatic safety reconnect feature, a failsafe which reconnects all factory wiring with factory bulbs instantaneously with any accidental or intentional system power loss.

48. A vehicular light control system for controlling external vehicular directional signal lights, comprising:
-
a light intensity switch connecting a brightest output circuit of at least one directional signal light and a turn signal switch, and the light intensity switch connecting the brightest output circuit of the at least one directional signal light and a power supply, whereby the intensity of the at least one directional signal light is controlled between operational modes selected from the group consisting of signaling modes and visibility, utility, and safety modes. - View Dependent Claims (49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58)

72. A vehicular light control system for controlling pairs of external vehicular directional lights while allowing any onboard vehicular bulb-failure indication subsystems to continue to operate, comprising:
-
a first light intensity switch connecting the brightest output circuit of a first directional signal light and a first output of a turn signal switch, and a second light intensity switch connecting the brightest output circuit of a second directional signal light and a second output of said turn signal switch; and
the first intensity switch connecting the brightest output circuit of a first directional signal light and a power supply, and a second light intensity switch connecting the brightest output circuit of a second directional signal light and said power supply, whereby the intensity of said first directional signal light and said second directional signal light are controlled between illumination output modes selected from the group consisting of pulse and flashing signaling modes and constant output safety and utility modes. - View Dependent Claims (73)
