Front combination lamp: 1 - headlight lamp (dipped beam); 2 – a lamp of a gas-discharge headlight (dipped beam); 3 – a lamp of the forward indicator of turn; 4 – a lamp of a forward fog lamp; 5 - headlight lamp (high beam); 6 – a lamp of a parking lantern; 7 - front combined headlight; 8 - gas discharge; 9 - halogen
Projector headlights are used (dipped beam) and front fog lights. The headlights are combined with the front direction indicators and position lamps into a single element to reduce the size (pic. 7.11).
Discharge headlight
Compared to modern headlights, the area of illumination is increased. In addition, white light, close in spectrum to sunlight, provides better visibility when driving at night. The use of a gas discharge headlight lamp gives high efficiency with low power consumption.

Gas-discharge headlights are used, giving a wide area of illumination and white light, close in spectrum to sunlight (for vehicles equipped with gas discharge headlights, see fig. 7.12).
