Question:

car lighting system question?

what do you call the emergency lights in a car in spanish

Answer:

el emerginceno lightos. LoL
On the colum switch,or dash switch,whichever you have the light switch has three positions,1 is off,2 is side lights and 3 is headlights. The rear fog light will only come on,separate switch,when the light switch is in position 3,ie head lights. Side lights I'd only use when parked up but you better have a good battery!,and usually only on a say dark road just to show I'm there! Mostly it's mains,as soon as the street lights are on,or in poor visibility.fogs only when there is fog,and put it off as soon as possible,it could be confused with a brake light from the back. There used to be regulation about parking on an unlit road and side lights,not sure if they are still in force but I've never heard of anyone being charged with the offence. And there are a number of cars that if you leave the indicator stalk in the left turn position and remove the key then the front and rear side lights will stay on,vise versa for right turn.,seem to recall that was a German road Traffic reg. Or if your a biker?lights on always.
The blinking lights, the ones used to signal to the sides but blinking both at once, that's called balizas in most Spanish speaking countries. Also luces de emergencia, emergency lights.
