ABSTRACT:
A vehicle includes a first light source to project light outwardly from a vehicle. The light projected from the first light source is perceptibly dominant in a lower-frequency portion of a visible spectrum. The vehicle also includes a second light source to project light outwardly from the vehicle. The light projected from the second light source is perceptibly dominant in a higher-frequency portion of the visible spectrum.
