Systems and methods of traffic light detection/perception are provided for detecting traffic lights states and/or transitions for different traffic light layouts. Basic traffic light information can be obtained regarding, e.g., the existence of a traffic light(s) at an intersection being approached by a vehicle, and which bulb(s) may apply to/control a particular lane of traffic at the intersection. Based on that information, bulb-specific or bulbwise detection can be performed. Upon determining the existence of a traffic light, specific bulbs within or making up the traffic light can be detected, and their various states can be predicted or estimated relative to a corresponding bulb group. The various states can then be simplified and output as a message(s) upon which autonomous control of a vehicle can be based.
