Headlights of vehicles pose a great danger during night driving. The drivers of
most vehicles use high, bright beam while driving at night. This causes a
sudden glare for a short period of time. This is caused due to the high intense
headlight beam from the other vehicle coming towards him from the opposite
direction. We are expected to dim the headlight to avoid this glare. This glare
headlight dimmer. This automatically switches the high beam into low beam thus
reducing the glare effect by sensing the approaching vehicle. It also eliminates the
requirement of manual switching by the driver which is not done at all times
