Why do the car lights seam so brit at night now?

Many car companies are putting in xenon lights. These are much brighter and give off a burning-white glow.

they come out at night, mostly

That's just the nature of the optics. They need to be bent in order to have you - from the front seat - see a wide enough area along the side of the car. The result is a curved lenses and distortion.

Look for the black and white cars with the lights on top.

The bulb could be getting ready to burn out.\n\nOr the street light could be "cycling". Sometimes, a streetlight is installed in a bad location. When it gets dark at night, the light comes on, but the light from the bulb is reflected back to the photocell. The photocell senses the light and thinks it's daytime again, so it shuts off the light. When the light shuts off, the photocell senses that it's dark again and turns the light back on. Then it keeps cycling on and off. Each cycle lasts about a minute or two depending on the manufacturer of the photocell. This usually happens with the streelight is near a shiny marble wall or a building window.

It used to be like that with fluorescent lights only, but not anymore.  See this article.\n\nhttp://www.eweb.org/business/energy/energysmart/ebd/9811/lighting_myth.htm

Any light that is bright enough can be seen in "broad daylight" - so the tail lights of the car in front of you at a stoplight are visible, right?\n\nNow, for the sake of reference, laser light is generally the "brightest" source of light in terms of watts per sq cm, so all comparisons of brightness should be done with that in mind.\n\nOC

they are in fact attracted to the dark area around a bright light source - the contrast makes it look like a tasty bit of shade.\n\nand there is a theory that many moths from before the time of the candle or electric light bulb, are on their way to the sun right now :)\n\nwickid :)

Not sure why but they use the same lights as Fenway Park from Granite City Electric

Because we are really close to our star, the sun.  The light from it drowns out the other lights from stars.  The same way a very small light in a room is drowned out by turning on a much larger one.  At night, we are completely turned away from it, so we can now see other lower light sources.

Most traffic light intersections have a magnetic strip to detect if a vehicle is at the light.  Some are stronger than others so there could be a big variation.  This magnetic force could be interfering with your radio.  You can go to Radio Shack and get a noise limiter for your radio to reduce or even stop the static noise.

Newer bulbs automatically refresh their volume from the gases present in the bulbs. They used to bleed off, become thinner and burn out eaiser.

On one can tell lighting is different every time.\nJust like it does not hit the same place two times in a row.

Are they supposed to come on automatically at dusk? Check your manual. If they are supposed to come one automatically, and none of them do, then there must be a short in the wire from the automatic switch or the switch or electric eye component must be dead.

Because of the prevailing winds at that particular latitude. As for why they move faster it's basic physics. If you shine a flashlight, it is traveling the speed of light. If you use the headlights on your car, the light is traveling at the speed of light PLUS the speed of the car.

check ur connections and see if there are any loose wire or burnt bulbs

the light used today are not as hot as the lights of our youth\nthe yesteryear lights were made of glass and were inefficiently made\ntoday's lights are made of plastic and are much safer
