What are car headlights?

Car headlights are bright lights that help you see when it’s dark outside, like when you’re playing hide and seek at night.

Think of your headlight like a flashlight you carry with you. When the sun goes down or it gets cloudy, the car turns on its headlights, just like you turn on your flashlight to see better. The light comes from inside the car and shines out through the front so you can see the road ahead, kind of like how a lighthouse helps ships find their way.

Without headlights, it would be hard to drive at night or in bad weather, just like it’s hard to read a book in the dark. That's why cars have headlights, they're like your eyes’ best friends when it gets dark!
