Abstract

A headlight switching device includes a headlight unit and an auxiliary light unit. The headlight unit includes a housing, a low beam, and a high beam. The auxiliary light unit includes two oblique side lights each connected to the turn signal switch of a transportation vehicle. Each of the oblique side lights is arranged in an inclined manner so that the oblique side lights emit light beams in two oblique directions. Thus, the driver starts the turn signal switch when turning the transportation vehicle, to turn off the headlight unit and turn on the auxiliary light unit simultaneously, so that the auxiliary light unit emit light beams to illuminate the zone to be turned, so as to facilitate the driver clearly seeing the road, and to caution a following driver behind the transportation vehicle.

Claims

1. A headlight switching device comprising:

a headlight unit; and

an auxiliary light unit connected with the headlight unit;

wherein;

the headlight unit includes;

a housing;

a low beam mounted in the housing; and

a high beam mounted in the housing;

the low beam of the headlight unit is connected to a turn signal switch of a transportation vehicle;

the high beam of the headlight unit is connected to the turn signal switch of the transportation vehicle;

the auxiliary light unit includes two oblique side lights mounted in the housing of the headlight unit;

the oblique side lights of the auxiliary light unit are located at two opposite sides of the housing;

each of the oblique side lights of the auxiliary light unit is arranged in an inclined manner and is directed outward relative to the housing of the headlight unit, with the oblique side lights of the auxiliary light unit emitting light beams in two oblique directions;

each of the oblique side lights of the auxiliary light unit is connected to the turn signal switch of the transportation vehicle; and

when the turn signal switch of the transportation vehicle is started, the headlight unit is turned off, and the auxiliary light unit is turned on simultaneously, so that the oblique side lights of the auxiliary light unit emit light beams to illuminate a zone to be turned, so as to facilitate the driver clearly seeing the road condition, and to warn a following driver behind the transportation vehicle.
