Problem Breakdown
Background
Headlights are one of the requirements listed by the American Solar Challenge (however not required for the World Solar Challenge). For MS XIV, the headlight unit will contain two types of lights: Daytime Running Lights (DRL’s) and Front Turn Indicators.

Major Goals
Have complete and functional headlight unit
Meets lighting regulations (ASC and WSC)
Mechanically and electrically reliable & robust
Minimally disruptive to vehicle aerodynamics
Minimal power consumption
Aesthetically pleasing
