Is Blue for High Beam or Low Beam?
2 Answers
High beam is blue in color with horizontal light lines. Low beam is green in color with slanted parallel light lines. It can be understood that high beams illuminate farther, so the light appears more parallel, while low beams shine diagonally towards the front of the vehicle. The main differences between headlights and high beams are as follows: 1. Conceptual aspect: Headlights refer to front lights, including high beams, low beams, and turn signals; high beam specifically means high beam. 2. Illumination distance: Headlights have varying illumination distances. Among them, low beams have a shorter illumination distance, while high beams illuminate higher and farther. High beams focus light parallelly, making the light more concentrated and brighter, capable of illuminating objects that are farther and higher.
I've been driving for twenty years, and that blue light on the dashboard is the high beam, while the low beam is green or not lit. Once, I accidentally left the high beams on while driving at night, and oncoming cars flashed their lights to remind me before I realized and quickly turned them off. High beams are quite useful in dark areas, like on rural roads without streetlights, as they illuminate the road farther ahead. However, using them in the city can blind oncoming drivers, which is very dangerous. It's important to learn how to switch between lights—just flip the lever to switch to low beam. I recommend regularly checking your car's lighting system. If the blue light on the dashboard stays on, it might mean the high beams are left on or there's a malfunction.
