    A modern vehicle contains around 56 light bulbs used for various lighting systems. These include 8 taillights, 6 front lights, 4 side lights, 15 interior lights, and 22-24 lights for instrument panels and controls. Vehicle headlights can be sealed beam, halogen, composite, or high-intensity discharge (HID) lights. HID lights are brighter and use less power than halogen bulbs. Exterior lights also include taillights, side markers, and optional fog lights. Interior lights illuminate areas like the trunk, glove box, and instrument panels. Switches control low and high beam circuits for different lighting functions.
