Some car instrument lighting lights can be adjusted; alarm and indicator lights, common organic oil pressure warning lights, water temperature warning lights, charging lights, turn indicators, high beam lights, etc., alarm lights are generally red, yellow The indicator light is generally green or blue; the work light is a kind of on-board low-voltage lighting tool that can be moved and used during vehicle maintenance, and the power source is from a car generator or a battery. The power is generally 21W, often with hooks or clamps, plugs are a little cigarette type and two-column type.
