Used Chevy Silverado Headlights
Used Chevy Silverado Headlights awadi / Foter.com / CC BY If you think it’s a drag because your vehicle’s headlights need replaced, you should have been around in 1886. That’s when the world’s first gas-powered cars were manufactured in Europe.Those early cars didn’t have electrical lighting. Their “headlights” were actually lamps that ran on oil, or acetylene. Not only did these lamps not light much of the road ahead, they were easily snuffed out by heavy rain or strong winds. Imagine having to jump out and re-light those “headlights”! Fortunately, in 1912, Cadillac changed automotive lighting forever by connecting car lights (now with filaments in them) to the electronic ignition system. This started as a revolution but eventually became the standard for automotive lighting, and is still the method used to light automobiles today, over 100 years later.
