Crosshairs for headlights in the vehicle - sense and purpose!

Recently updated on October 29, 2020 at 02:22 am

Crosshairs for headlights generally do not add any technical added value to the vehicle. And as a rule, the optical highlighters are only used in older vehicles. Crosshairs in the headlight are a cross that meets in the center of the headlight. During the day, crosshairs in the headlight are not immediately recognizable at first glance and only bring their full potential to the street at night when they are illuminated. Nevertheless, they are a popular component in the tuning scene because they easily conjure up a new look for the vehicle by changing the light pattern of the headlights. By the way, there is more about headlights in our large overview "Headlights from halogen to LED to xenon - an indispensable companion"!

Crosshair for headlights set

Crosshairs for headlights are components that can be retrofitted to the vehicle. However, it is advisable to ask a testing authority (TÜV, Dekra & Co.) before buying whether the components can be legally retrofitted for the respective vehicle. They are available either in the form of completely new headlights with integrated crosshairs, or in the form of two plates that are built into the existing headlights afterwards. Simply covering the headlights with tape is not recommended and can cause a lot of trouble during checks. If the crosshair is already installed in accessory headlights and these come with an ABE or a parts certificate, then it can be assumed that use in road traffic is possible without any problems. A subsequent installation is usually illegal.
