Reproduction of automobile headlight in night and day

Purpose To study appearance of headlight in various lighting conditions
  • Automobile headlight in the day #1 Automobile headlight under daylight #1

    A reflection of the surrounding environment can be seen on the glass cover and on the reflector behind the cover.
  • Automobile headlight in the day #2 Automobile headlight under daylight #2

    The reflection changes according to the change of the observation angle.
  • Automobile headlight in the night (without glow effect) Automobile headlight turned on in night #1

    It is visible how the reflector reflects the light emitted from a light bulb and how the whole headlight looks like in the night.
  • Automobile headlight in the night (with glow effect) Automobile headlight turned on in night #2

    The glow effect is added for more realism. Those spots with the light that goes directly toward into the observer's eyes provide brighter impression.
