For simple checks the lighting system you don't need professionals, they are more for that correct setting responsible. On the other hand, anyone can carry out simple checks of the luminaires themselves from home without any effort. All you need is a bright house wall in front of which you can park the car. And the Hazard warning light or dipped headlights can also be completely switched off with a simple walk around the car without tools check.

To check the brake lights, drivers drive backwards first in front of a bright house wall. At the Step on the brakes you should see a red even glow on the wall on both sides and above in the middle. Blinker you can either check in the car whether there is an orange light on the wall on the left or right, or you walk once, as with the hazard warning lights around the car. However, cars must also have a device that makes a broken turn signal recognizable. You used to be on rapid flashing orientate which one was shown in the display when the turn signal failed. Now it is mostly communicated as a specific note ("blinker defective" or similar) in the on-board computer.

    The tip to regularly check the vehicle lighting is a very important one. I haven't done this in a long time and recently had to go to an auto repair shop because my lights died out. Thank you for this important contribution!
