Using Parking Lights or Low Beam at Night?

[VonRyder]

Use parking lights at night. Here is the relevant information: 1. Parking lights refer to the lamps installed at the highest points of the front and rear of the vehicle. They are somewhat similar to the anti-collision lights on the wingtips of an aircraft. They are mainly used to indicate the width and height of the vehicle during driving in conditions such as dusk, cloudy days, or rainy and foggy weather, helping other drivers determine relative positions and vehicle size during overtaking or meeting. Typically, parking lights are white at the front and red at the rear. 2. The next setting after parking lights is the low beam. Low beams are designed for close-range illumination, featuring a wide coverage angle (160°) but a short illumination distance, and the focus cannot be adjusted. 3. Halogen bulb parking lights are not suitable for prolonged use as daytime running lights. Additionally, the luminous intensity of parking lights differs from that of daytime running lights, and in certain situations, parking lights may not fulfill the role of daytime running lights.
