Headlight flashing might have come into more common use as a means of attempting driver-to-driver communication by the mid-1970s, [3] when cars began to come with headlight beam selectors located on the steering column—typically activated by pulling the turn signal stalk—rather than the previous foot-operated pushbutton switches.
Under ECE regulations, H1 lamps are required to emit white or selective yellow light. [1] U.S. regulations require H1 lamps to emit white light. [2] Under both ECE and U.S. specifications, the allowable range of white light is quite large; some H1 lamps have a slight blue or yellow tint to the glass yet still produce light legally acceptable under the requirement for white light.
As previously with round lamps, the US permitted only two standardized sizes of rectangular sealed-beam lamp: A system of two 200 by 142 mm (7.9 by 5.6 in) high/low beam units corresponding to the existing 7-inch round format, or a system of four 165 by 100 mm (6.5 by 3.9 in) units, two high/low and two high-beam. corresponding to the existing ...
[2] [3] [4] Tail lights and brake lights were introduced around 1915, and by 1919, low-beam or dipped beam headlights were available. Sealed beam headlights were introduced in 1936 and standardized as the only acceptable type in the US in 1940. Self-cancelling turn signals were developed in 1940.

Two of the lamps contained two filaments and served as low and high beam, while the other two lamps contained only one filament and were active only during high-beam operation. From the 1975 model year, a rectangular version of the four-lamp system was legalized. The new lamps were 165 mm (6 + 1 / 2 in) wide and 100
[citation needed] The headlamp is strapped to the head or helmet with an elasticized strap. [1] Some headlamps have a separate battery pack connected by a cable, to be carried on a belt or in a pocket. [1] Headlamps may be held in place by a single band around the head or (particularly heavier ones) have an additional band over the top of the head.
