  • The influence of car interior lighting on driving safety With the increasing number of functions, buttons and switches, car interior lighting is starting to play an increasingly important role in driving safety at night. The times when only a few traditional light bulbs were installed in the car, helping to find seat belts or illuminating the interior of the glove compartment, are long gone. The interior of a mid-range car manufactured today has up to several dozen light sources, most often LEDs. A blinding flash of light often causes not only discomfort, but also potential danger for the driver. The latest research covers the impact of vehicle interior lighting on the sense of security, the ability to concentrate, as well as the perception of space and distance. Scientists are asking whether the way the dashboard instrumentation is lit can have a greater impact on the driver`s emotional state and achievements?

    Well of course! It has long been known that if you install red clock illumination and blue neon lights near the floor in the Golf 2, the driver becomes a rally steering wheel champion! I`ll tell you more! It also has a miraculous effect on the car, increasing its engine power!

    Seriously, I don`t think the factory lighting had any effect.

    News without content. It is stated that there are studies and that scientists are asking themselves the question, but where are the results of these studies?

    You forgot about the blue pseudo-xenons that give +10 acceleration.

    When I have the light on in the car and it`s dark outside, I feel uncomfortable and feel bad when driving. I feel like my eyesight is worse. But this is regardless of whether I drive an older Lanos or a newer Hyundai

    This isn`t really surprising. The brighter the light inside, the more your pupils constrict and your ability to see outdoors in the dark decreases. The latest cars still have a potentiometer that can be used to reduce the backlight intensity?

    Here, it wasn`t about the light you turn on or off, but about the glow of the dashboard lighting, button illumination, and display illumination. Older cars also had sliders that could be used to adjust the light intensity.

    Well, it`s in the new ones too. All in all, it`s standard.

    I`ll write like this. I have blue neon lights under the seats in my car, and I drive much better when they are on. It`s all a matter of getting used to it

    There is nothing better than a blue radio frame, in the Golf 2, perfectly at the eye level of the driver lying down, and I have also seen them flashing to the rhythm of the music, but probably only owners of the GTI 1.6 install them. ;)

Topic summary

The discussion centers on the impact of car interior lighting on driving safety, particularly at night. Participants express mixed opinions on the effectiveness of factory-installed lighting systems, with some humorously suggesting that certain colors and types of lighting can enhance driving performance. A key point raised is the discomfort caused by bright interior lights, which can impair night vision due to pupil constriction. The conversation also touches on the availability of adjustable lighting in modern vehicles, which can mitigate some of these issues. Overall, the consensus suggests that while interior lighting plays a role in driver comfort and safety, its effectiveness varies among different car models and personal preferences.
