Are Low Beam Lights the Same as Position Lights?

[MacBentley]

Position lights are not low beam lights. The following introduces the differences between the two: 1. Position Lights: Position lights are also called 'contour lights.' The word 'position' signifies warning, while 'contour' represents the outline. From the literal meaning, it's easy to understand that position lights are installed at the edge of the vehicle's outline to allow other vehicles to clearly see the position and size of your vehicle, thereby preventing rear-end collisions or side swipes. 2. Low Beam Lights: Low beam lights typically illuminate within a distance of 50 meters, primarily to clearly see the road ahead. They are usually turned on in areas with heavy traffic because high beam lights can cause glare to oncoming drivers. In areas with sparse traffic and no streetlights, especially when driving at relatively high speeds, high beam lights should be used.
