Honda Park Light: More Than Just for Parking

Anthony Fontanelle
March 24, 2008

Many car accidents happen due to the drivers’ inability to clearly see the road ahead. Snowstorms, heavy rains, and insufficient street lighting can make it very difficult for them to see beyond a few meters. This is why your Honda car has a wide array of features that provide illumination as well as increase its conspicuity. One of these important features is the Honda park light.

Often sporting either a bright orange or red color, a Honda park light does more than what its name suggests. More than a tool that allows you to estimate the distance between your car and the wall you are backing up to, a Honda park light alerts motorists behind you of your presence.

For example, whenever you press on the brakes, each Honda park light turns bright to inform others that you are slowing down or coming to a complete stop. Moreover, it complements the brightness of your Honda tail lights and blinks simultaneously with these so that if you are stranded or going in reverse, you can be spotted immediately. Also, Honda park lights can usually be set to blink in sync with your Honda turning signal to indicate your intention to turn or change lanes. All in all, Honda park lights make your position and movement on the street more visible, thereby increasing over-all road safety.

Road safety is so important that laws are enacted to punish motorists who fail to replace broken park light lenses or burnt-out park light bulbs. Did you know that unless your car is only for show, you can choose park light colors that are only allowed by the law? Such rules and regulations are there for your protection as well as those of other motorists. Therefore, it is imperative that you replace broken park lights with new Honda park lights without delay.
