ABSTRACT:
An improved blackout control system located within the passenger compartment allows the driver to alter the normal and emergency lighting features of the vehicle. The blackout control system comprises an illuminated control panel unit modified by harness and control units which are attached to the lighting system of a conventional emergency vehicle. A four-position three-level emergency "Red" switch is provided as an improvement on the control panel. A second blackout reset switch is provided to restore power to the blackout switches. A third blackout switch is provided on the panel which disables the brake and backup lights of the vehicle. A fourth switch for blacking out the tail lights, parking and/or corner lights is provided. A fifth blackout switch is provided to disable headlight daytime running lights. A sixth high beam sneak light switch is provided to activate a high beam sneak light mounted on the front of the vehicle with less lighting than the driving lights. A seventh low beam sneak light is provided with a hooded sneak light located in front of the vehicle which may be used to provide less lighting in front of the vehicle than the normal horizontally disposed headlights.
