Abstract

According to the invention, a single headlamp is provided to selectively project a first color light, a second color light or a desired blend thereof. Preferably, a clear bulb contains a second bulb with a yellow light transmitting surface. Each bulb has a filament light source which can be selectively powered to produce white and yellow light, with the latter being effective for penetration of fog, dust, smoke, etc. with the lamp used on a moving vehicle.
