Description.
With this cool circuit integrated to your cars headlight system , you can drive cool headed in high beam.The circuit will take over the duty of low beaming the headlight when vehicles approach against , and high beams the lights when they pass over.
The circuit is based on a photo transistor(Q1) for sensing the approaching vehicles and transistor Q2 (BC177) for switching the relays for controlling the headlight.When the light from the opposite vehicle falls on Q2 , it’s collector current increases and turns ON Q1.The relay will be activated and the head light will be dimmed.When the vehicle pass over the reverse will happen.
Circuit diagram with Parts list.
Notes.
- The battery B1 can be the 12V car battery itself.
- Adjust POT’s R1,R2,R4 to obtain optimum performance.
- The Q1 can be any general purpose PNP photo transistor.It should be mounted in front of the car so that the light from opposite vehicle easily falls on it.
- Relay contact A goes to high beam circuit,B to low beam circuit and C is the common point.
- Carefully understand the wiring of your car before attempting to install the circuit.Wrong connections could easily bring trouble to your cars wiring.
what will be the range of distance from which the phototransistor can sense the light? is it good enough to sense the upcoming vehicle at a safer distance?how optimum performance is achieved through the pots?
The collector and emitter of Q2 should be interchanged. Q1 emitter should return to +ve. why so many pots? The circuit should be made in such a way it should have an head light auto / bypass switch, in the event of something going wrong in the circuit. Author please respond.
sir . can we make the same circuit using a 8051 microcontroller? if yes , please do reply.
yes
Guys.. can you tell me which software is used for designing this circuit?
I am confused.. Multisim, Proteus or something else?

sir,can i have the all diagram of the automatic headlight because i need it ?if its okay for you.
pls send abstract&circuit diagram about automatic vehicle dim/bright for miniproject
Sir i need complete details of this project, please send the details to my email.
Sir i need complete details of this project, please send the details to my email
does anyone have idea how to transport light from headlight to sensor? what should e the size of sensor so that it can have sufficient light to trigger the dimmer mechanism?
Hi,Please send the brief description about Automatic Flash Headlight using Dim and Dipper control(Not more than lines) Please send the answer to this mail id.

can anyone please tell me where to find automatic headlight dimmer circuit with a micro controller
PNP photo transistors (OCP71) may not be available readily in the market. if you have patience you can make yours by modifying a standard PNP TO18 metal transistor BC177. just carefully file the top off, use alchohol and clean the jel inside, fit a small round plstic cap and seal it with anabond. i use this in all my opto projects. (BC107 for NPN and BC177 for PNP). with a small modification you can use the standard LDRs freely available in this circuit.
Hi to all.
I tryed this shematic but i have problem with Phototransistor a need more infotmation for it. I build a PCB. Any body have more information?
can any one send me the circuit diagram of blue tooth jamer
hi any body tell briefly about this project.
Can anyone please send me the Circuit diagram for Multilevel Car Parking Systems on my email address : aditya_hye@yahoo.com
Thanks.
please give me some mode and type of the operation circuit, cause i’d like to know much.
thank’s
i’d like to know much on the mode of operation of the circuit
