What is the difference between front position lights and headlights?

[LillianAnn]

Front position lights and headlights differ in their types: front position lights are width indicators, while headlights are the main lights. Front position lights, also known as turn signal lights, serve to display the presence of a vehicle and have a warning function. They allow other vehicles to recognize the length and width of the car, preventing collisions due to poor lighting conditions and reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents. Headlights, located at the front of the car, are used to illuminate the road during nighttime driving. The government has clear regulations regarding the lighting standards of headlights, as their illumination performance directly affects the operational safety of vehicles at night. With the continuous development of the automotive industry, headlights now primarily include halogen and xenon lights.
