Why is there only one car reversing light?

I think many people have also noticed that there is only one reversing light on the car now. What is the reason for this? Various theories are also emerging. Some say it's to reduce costs, others say it's because it's overshadowing the indicator light, and there are some other opinions.

The most reasonable basis should be the national regulations, the length of the car below six meters, at least one fog lamp per car, can be optional, at least one reversing light, can be optional. And it is stipulated that the fog lights are on the left and the reversing lights are on the right. Therefore, many car companies only install a reversing light while complying with national regulations.

There is also a theory that the reversing lights are not actually used for lighting, but are used to warn the car behind. The original two symmetrical reversing lights, if reversing at night, there is a pair of reversing lights may make the driver behind mistakenly think that he is driving in the wrong direction, to avoid causing unnecessary reactions, on the contrary, just a reversing light will easily attract the driver's attention, so that it is easier to identify.

In fact, there is a certain reason why the fog lights are on the left and the reversing lights are on the right, mainly because the driver in China drives on the left side when driving, and the fog lights on the left can allow the driver to better see the vehicle in front of him; The reversing light is on the right because it is convenient for the driver to reverse and park on the right side of the road. And it is only a reversing light and fog lamp, which is also a disguised reduction in production costs, so as to improve the configuration of other aspects.

In general, it can reduce the cost of car companies while complying with national regulations, and can also increase recognition to avoid misunderstandings and unnecessary accidents. What do you think about this?

Cars, as many families' beloved objects, should have a symmetrical beauty, so why do many cars have a reversing light?

1. Volkswagen Polo, this car has only one reversing light, many female drivers still like this car, it is true that Volkswagen Polo's sales have been very good, and the safety and stability are excellent, but if you are not good at reversing technology, it is best not to want!

2. Ford Forrest.

The Forrest has always been a good selling model, very cost-effective, and the current model is equipped with front and rear parking radar, but not all models have a reversing camera!

3. Chevrolet Malibu.

Malibu also has only one reversing light, although this car is really cost-effective, and the performance is also excellent, but it is really inconvenient to have only one reversing light at night!

4. Toyota Vios.

This car also has only one reversing light, and this car does not have front and rear parking radars, let alone reversing images, so novices should buy carefully!

5. Toyota Corolla.

The reversing light is a wedge-shaped seat bulb (colorless) with a power of 16W.

There are two reversing lights for the Corolla, one for the old Corolla, and the rear fog lights.

There is only one, because the two rear fog lights are indeed easy to be confused with the brake lights, so it is stipulated in ECE R48 that if two rear fog lights are configured, the position of the rear fog lights must be more than 10cm away from the brake lights.

Nowadays, cars are appearing more and more frequently in people's lives, and people are more and more aware of cars, but the more familiar they are, the more problems we encounter. For example, why do so many cars only have one reversing light?

For this phenomenon, in life, some netizens and friends will have the idea of pretending to be another one. If they go further, if they sell this problem to 4S stores, it is estimated that they are also stupid.

The function of this reversing light should be clear to everyone. Its most important function is that when reversing at night, the rear of the car is not visible, and can be used to illuminate the line of sight. But why do some cars only have one?

In fact, this matter has a lot to do with national regulations.

According to the relevant national regulations, as for the reversing lights, if the length of the vehicle is less than 6 meters, a Wuqin section must be installed, which is mandatory, and another sail can be installed as an option. Therefore, many car companies have installed one and reduced the other for the sake of cost. Similar regulations, there are fog lights.

Generally speaking, according to the national mandatory regulations, if only one is installed, it must be on the left side.

Of course, this reversing light is still good for the driver, which can attract the driver's attention and make the driver pay more attention.

Another reason is that the meaning of the reversing lights is not so much about lighting, but more about warning pedestrians and vehicles behind the vehicle. Remind the vehicle to reverse. It's driving, which means you're reversing. Attention everyone. And for such a role, one is enough.

Generally speaking, car companies do this for cost savings as well as for practicality.

Millions of car purchase subsidies.

Most people have the impression that car lights generally exist in pairs. There is a headlight on the left and a mirror on the right, but there is only one reversing light. Many people say they can't understand this, and they think that a reversing light will be very distorted.

So why do many models only have one reversing light?

Many people will think that there is only one reversing light because the manufacturer has reduced the configuration in order to save costs. Actually, it makes sense. According to national regulations, it is necessary to install a vehicle with a length of less than 6 meters, and you can choose to install another one.

Thus, it can be seen that there is no requirement to install two. Therefore, on the basis of meeting national regulations, many car companies have reduced the configuration of another reversing light.

Moreover, in order to enhance the competitiveness of the automobile market and increase the face value of the car, the Dasho calendar liquid lamp needs to be designed well, and it cannot be equipped with so many bulbs. In addition, consumers do not have a high demand for two reversing lights, and will not get extra points because there are two reversing lights in the car, and sales will increase significantly. Therefore, there is no need for manufacturers to work these two reversing lights, and there is no need to promote them as gimmicks.

On the other hand, the environment is dark at night, and the driver can only judge the position of other vehicles by the lights. Most of the lights in this car are in pairs. If the reversing lights are paired, then when reversing at night, it is easy for other vehicles behind to think that it is going in the wrong direction.

Installing just one reversing light can make it easier for others to identify. There is some truth to the design of the rear fog lamp. Because the rear fog lights are bright red when they are lit, if the left and right fog lights are designed, it is easy for the rear car to mistakenly think that the front car has braked, causing certain safety hazards.

There is also a saying that reversing lights are not just for illumination, but more for warning vehicles or pedestrians behind them. When the lights are on, they are reversing, so be careful to avoid them. Reversing where there are street lights, the reversing lights have little effect, so one and two have the same effect.

Therefore, it is reasonable to install reversing lights and fog lights. This design is also used abroad, so it is not simple to enter China. If you do feel that the light is too dark when reversing, you can turn on the rear fog lamp auxiliary lighting at the same time, or you can gently press the brake to make the brake light light on the auxiliary lighting.

Millions of car purchase subsidies.

<> "The car has only one buried reversing light.

Most cars have only one reversing light at the back, and only some cars have two reversing lights.

Why is this happening? Regarding the design of the reversing lights, many friends have complained, and there are many friends who have a lot of opinions.

Because many people think that the reversing light is very important, when reversing sitting in the car, if the reversing light is not on, you can't see anything behind, and you don't know if you hit it.

1. The relevant policy stipulates why the reversing lights cannot be designed into two, and why they cannot be made brighter. Nowadays, many cars are, with the rear right side of the rear and the rear fog light on the left, both of which have only one.

In 2007, the relevant regulations in the external lighting devices of automobiles stipulate that passenger cars under six meters must be equipped with one or more reversing lights and rear fog lights.

The regulations are one or more, so in this case, will the car company install two and three for you?That's impossible. are trying to save costs, and even those who can't be reduced are trying to reduce the allocation, and they clearly stipulate that they can be reduced, how can they be added back for you?

This is a very important reason.

It is according to this regulation that most cars are only equipped with a reversing light and a rear fog lamp.

But a slightly more expensive car, or some designers will design two rear fog lights in order to look good, like SUVs, there are two rear fog lights, of course, there are also some cars, the same design of two reversing lights, one on one side.

Second, the regulations are made by the car companies themselves, and after the car companies have done it, they will give the regulations to the relevant departments for approval

And the car company has some very strange reasons, saying that if you install two reversing lights, when reversing at night, the car behind you will be mistaken for two headlights when you look at it from a distance. The same is true for rear fog lights, some car companies say that they install two rear fog lights, for fear that others will think that they are reversing, which is why many cars have only one rear fog lamp and a wild ant rear fog lamp.

3. The original intention of the reversing lights is not to illuminate the reversing lights, and the original intention is not to let you see behind you clearly, but to let others know that you are reversing.

Before there was no rearview camera, didn't reversing rely on the two rearview mirrors on the car, plus one rearview mirror in the middle?And through the two rear-view mirrors on the car, plus the middle rear-view mirror, you can't see the tail position, and you can't rely on the radarThe significance of lighting is much lower than that of being a signal light.

Summary. This is why car companies simply only install one, which is also a very important reason for them.

If you usually reverse, the reversing lights are not too bright, you really need to look at the back, teach you a trick, you can lightly step on the brakes, and the brake lights will all light up, so that the whole light will be much brighter.

Through this method, to a certain extent, the problem of the reversing light is not lit can be solved.

1. Legal and regulatory requirements: For reversing lights, for vehicles with a length of less than 6 meters, one is mandatory, one is optional, and the light color is white. By law, cars must be equipped with reversing lights, but there are no requirements for two.

Therefore, it is not necessary for car manufacturers to install two reversing lights for their cars. By the way, it can also save some costs, which is conducive to market competition. Second, reversing lights are not just for lighting, but more for warning vehicles or pedestrians behind them.

When the lights are on, they are reversing, so be careful to avoid them. In places where there are street lights, the reverse lights have almost no effect, so one and two have the same effect. However, installing only one reversing light does affect the "symmetrical beauty" of the car.

Now many friends have bought a new car, and they have found out why the fog lights and reversing lights are only one on! Immediately afterwards, many friends immediately thought that this was the "result" of the manufacturer's simple matching! Not really!

As a result, the rear light design of the left-hand drive car is foggy left and right.

Pacific Automobile Network] The car reversing light is not only one on, but some cars only have one reversing light. For cars with a length of less than 6 meters, only one reversing light is mandatory to be installed, and another one can be optional, and the light color is white. At the same time, the same is true for rear fog lights, mandatory installation of one, and another optional one, the light color is red.

However, it can only be installed on the left side of the tail, so a reversing light can only be installed on the right side of the tail.

Now the car is basically only equipped with a right side of the reversing light, in addition to a small number of cars there are two, that is because when reversing, the line of sight on the driver's side is almost not affected, relying on the brake light and the wide view light can be basically observed clearly, but the co-pilot side of the view line is not very good, need to rely on the white light of the reversing light to help improve. Nowadays, cars are basically equipped with only one right side reversing light, except for a small number of cars, there are two.

1. Because when reversing, the line of sight on the driver's side is almost not affected, and the brake light and the wide-sight light can basically observe Qingchun with the exception, but the sight of the co-pilot's side is not very good, and the white light of the reversing light needs to be improved.

2. Setting a reversing light will make it easier to attract the attention of the rear driver and prevent confusion with the brake light.

3. There are differences in different models and grades, especially only one for most of the economic compact cars.
