What type of sensor i can use to determine the rotation of wheel and use it to turn the head lights. Actually my project is about automatic turning of head Lights in 4 wheeler according to the turn of the front wheel. This would help the people to see the road at night before taking a turn.0

Well if you want to measure the rotation then you can use proximity sensor, but as you told you want to detect it in car then no need to install any sensor there is one sensor you can tap that wire and detect rotation of wheel.Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

Thank you for your reply, but i am not asking about rotation of wheel, im asking about the turning of wheel from left-centre-right turn. I want a sensor to measure the turn of wheel and turn the head lights accordingly.godfatherWell if you want to measure the rotation then you can use proximity sensor, but as you told you want to detect it in car then no need to install any sensor there is one sensor you can tap that wire and detect rotation of wheel.Are you sure?

Oh! Then we can put one sensor in stearing and have you any idea how will you modified headlight? You need to install some stepper motor control.Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

Yes you got me, that's what my idea is all about. I want to know what sensor to put on the steering wheel?godfatherOh!

Accelerometer is one option which gives you x-axis movement based on stearing rotation or we have place some IR sensors array as you have to get the angle at which car is getting turn.
