A system to detect or determine vehicle lamp performance and a method using the system is described. The system includes a first optical sensor having a field of view which includes the location of a vehicle lamp or into which light from a vehicle lamp is emitted, the optical sensor providing an output indicative of vehicle lamp performance; and a controller in communication with the first optical sensor to receive the output, the controller including at least one processor adapted to analyze the optical sensor output and provide a control output at least when the optical sensor output is indicative that the vehicle lamp performance is below a threshold.
