The different colors of headlights are to identify the classes
I would have thought it would blind the driver less if the light was amber instead of white
i thought it was because of the color of light influences on your vision, more natural colors are pleasant to eye
So LM cars are white and GTE cars are amber?
No performance benefit? (better visibility?)
I think its brighter…just a guess
My dad once said that he preferred our street lights as amber because they didn’t reflect on fog but white light does (he may be wrong I’ve never checked)
That is why the Japanese use amber fog lights. I believe most Europeans as well.
it is for identify the class, they just said it in the steam
Heard it too. Also, Ferrari did a Ferrari thing. It caught fire
Function-wise, I think it’s the same as why headlamps produce yellow(selective yellow) light. It’s less dangerous because (I think) white light produces more glare, and white light performs badly when raining/fogging(blue wavelength).
So in short. White for clear night. Amber for rain and fog?
