headlight
This term refers specifically to the forward-facing illumination system of a vehicle. While it is often used to describe the entire assembly, it can also refer to the individual bulb or the beam of light itself. In automotive contexts, it is frequently contrasted with taillights or indicators.
Usage typically involves a pair of lights, so the plural form is common when discussing the vehicle's overall lighting system. It is a neutral, technical term used across all registers, from casual conversation to formal mechanical manuals.
