BDifficulty 2/5

Under current general specifications for a car, what colour must its main-beam headlights emit?

Correct answer

White.

White under Annex X of the General Vehicle Regulations. This concerns the light illuminating the road rather than the dashboard indicator. Red serves other functions, such as rear position or brake lamps, and amber direction indicators; arbitrary-coloured bulbs must not be fitted to headlights. Use approved devices compatible with the vehicle.
