Difference Between Front Position Lights and Headlights?

[VanNora]

Here are the specific differences between car headlights and front position lights: 1. Different functions: Front position lights, along with rear position lights, are commonly known as small lights or width indicator lights. Their main purpose is to indicate the presence and approximate width of the vehicle, helping other drivers make judgments during overtaking or oncoming traffic. Car headlights are used for illuminating the road ahead during nighttime driving, capable of emitting both high and low beams. High beams are used on roads without oncoming traffic or when the car is traveling at relatively high speeds. High beams can provide bright and uniform illumination on the road surface 100m or more ahead. Low beams are used during oncoming traffic or when driving on well-lit urban roads. During oncoming traffic, to avoid dazzling the driver of the opposite vehicle and causing danger, the headlights should switch from strong high beams to dimmer low beams with a downward tilt. 2. Different positions: Car headlights are located on both sides of the front of the car. The switch is usually on the control lever at the lower left side of the steering wheel; lifting or pressing it changes the beam. Front and rear position lights are located at the left and right ends of the front face and the rear of the car, respectively.
