Are the headlights of a car high beam or low beam

[VonCourtney]

The headlight is neither the low beam nor the high beam. The headlight includes both the high beam and the low beam. Turning on the headlight means activating the power supply of the headlight. On the turn signal lever, there is a switch for switching between high beam and low beam. Pushing it upward is for low beam, and pushing it downward is for high beam. When in the low beam position, lifting it upward again will also switch to high beam, but this is a momentary switch, and releasing it will revert to low beam. The function of high beam and low beam is to illuminate the road ahead of the vehicle. The effective illumination distance of the low beam should be 50 meters, while the effective illumination distance of the high beam should be 150 meters. Car headlights are also called car front lights or car LED daytime running lights, which are closely related to safe driving at night or in bad weather conditions.
