A vehicular light switch can change the mode of an exterior-illuminating light by rotating to different positions including an auto setting and a small setting. If the position of the vehicular light switch is rotated to the small setting, a momentary mechanism returns the position to the auto setting. If extravehicular brightness is less than a prescribed value and the position is rotated to the small setting whilst the vehicle is stationary, a first light controller turns off a low-beam light, and turns on the low-beam light if the vehicle runs afterwards. If extravehicular brightness is less than a prescribed value and the position is rotated to the small setting while the vehicle is running, a second light controller keeps the low-beam light turned on.

A lever switch includes a lever main body and a rotary operation element rotatably provided at a tip end portion of the lever main body. The rotary operation element is provided with a light ON switch position at which an instruction to cause head lights and small lights to be on at all times is issued, an automatic light switch position at which an instruction to set an automatic light mode, in which a turned-on state of the head lights and the small lights is controlled based on the intensity of illumination in the vicinity of the vehicle, is issued, and a light OFF switch position at which an instruction to turn the head lights off is issued, the light ON switch position, the automatic light switch position, and the light OFF switch position being arranged in an order along a rotation direction.

Disclosed are a vehicle high-beam lamp control apparatus and a method therefor. The vehicle high-beam lamp control apparatus comprises a passing switch (10) which, after having been turned on by means of a physical force from a user, is turned off while being restored; a high-beam switch (20) for turning the high-beam lamp (40) on and off; and a control unit (30) which switches on and off the high-beam lamp (40) in accordance with an on/off state of the passing switch (10) and the high-beam switch (20), and which switches off the high-beam lamp (40) if, after the passing switch (10) has been turned on, the passing switch (10) is not turned off such that a first set time is exceeded, and also switches off the high-beam lamp (40) if the passing switch (10) is turned on when the high-beam switch (20) is in the turned on state.

An auxiliary lighting system for an auxiliary device and methods are provided. The auxiliary lighting system senses the operational state of various ones of the vehicle lights of the vehicle and operably controls the operational state of various auxiliary lights based on the operational state of one or more of the vehicle lights. The method includes controlling the auxiliary lighting system based on the operational state of the vehicle lights.

An arrangement comprising an attachment and a self-propelled harvester is disclosed, with the attachment configured to harvest a crop and having a middle region for removable connection to a feeder housing of the self-propelled harvester. The attachment also includes lateral regions positioned adjacent to the middle region, with each having a bottom surface extending in a horizontal direction and a rear wall extending in a vertical direction. Lighting devices are positioned on the attachment above the respective bottom surface and below the top edge of the rear wall with light cones directed in the driving direction to illuminate a region in front of the attachment beyond the front edge of the bottom surface.

A lighting control apparatus is configured to be applied to a vehicle lamp. The lighting control apparatus includes a first switching converter, a substrate on which the first switching converter is provided, and a first cover. The first switching converter includes a switching element, a coil, and a first output capacitor and is configured to generate a first drive voltage corresponding to a first light source of the vehicle lamp based on a power source voltage. The first cover is formed of a conductive material and covers at least a part of components of the first switching converter in one surface of the substrate. The substrate includes a first conduction part and a second conduction part which are in conductive contact with the first cover. The first switching converter is provided between the first conduction part and the second conduction part. The first output capacitor is provided in a vicinity of one part of the first conduction part and the second conduction part.
