In pre WWII Great Britain and for some years after motorcars ( GB for
automobiles) dipped their lights, not dimmed them. This was done mechanically!
One light extinguished, and the internal reflector of the other was
lowered and turned slightly to the side.

To this day, dimming is called dipping in the UK.
