1 Answers
The following is an introduction to headlights, position lights, and rear position lights: Introduction to headlights: Headlights, also known as front headlights, are primarily used to illuminate the road and objects ahead to ensure driving safety. They can also be used to signal overtaking at night by alternating between high and low beams. Headlights are installed on both sides of the front of the car, with either 2 or 4 lights per vehicle. Introduction to position lights: Also known as width markers or small lights, they are installed at the front and rear of the vehicle (the ones at the rear are called rear position lights) to indicate the width of the vehicle and alert other drivers. Position lights are used during dusk driving to make the vehicle visible to others. Introduction to rear position lights: These are mainly used to indicate the presence and approximate width of the vehicle, helping other drivers judge when passing or overtaking. Brake signal lights, commonly known as brake lights, are warning lights that alert following vehicles that the car has applied brakes.
