Abstract
A direction turning device for headlights of an automobile comprises two operation mechanisms, namely, direct operation mechanism and electromagnetic operation mechanisms. For the direct operation mechanism, if an automobile with lefthand drive, the device is connected to the left headlight; if an automobile with righthand drive, the device is connected to the right headlight. Where, the electromagnetic operation mechanism is connected to both left and right headlights and activated synchronously with the steering system. This disclosure has been characterized in the simplized structure and the longevity of use because the electromagnetic mechanism is turned off during daytime driving.
