Abstract:
A vehicle lighting control system for controlling headlights of a vehicle and a display device comprises an illuminance detector for detecting an illuminance outside of the vehicle, and a lighting controller for controlling luminances of the headlights and the display device based on the detected illuminance. The lighting controller includes a headlight controlling module for turning the headlights off when the illuminance is above a first threshold, and turning the headlights on when the illuminance is the first threshold or below, and a display device controlling module for controlling the luminance of the display device to a first set value when the illuminance is above a second threshold, and controlling the luminance of the display device to a second set value when the illuminance is the second threshold or below, the second threshold being lower than the first threshold, the second set value being lower than the first set value.
