What is the Difference Between Parking Lights and Brake Lights?
1 Answers
The relevant introduction to the difference between parking lights and brake lights is as follows: 1. Brake lights are brighter than parking lights, and parking lights consume relatively less power. Additionally, parking lights can only be turned on when the vehicle is turned off. Furthermore, parking lights and brake lights do not use the same bulb. Brake lights have a larger area and stronger light penetration, similar to fog lights. 2. Parking lights consume very little power (not the light before turning on the headlights) and are illuminated during nighttime parking to prevent other moving objects from colliding with the vehicle, requiring manual activation. Brake lights, on the other hand, have high power and are red, only illuminating when the vehicle is braking. They are controlled either by the brake pedal linkage or automatically by braking force. 3. Parking lights serve as warning lights that provide safety reminders to the surrounding environment, such as vehicles and pedestrians, during temporary parking when the engine is off, indicating the vehicle's position. Brake lights are generally installed at the rear of the vehicle and are red in color, making it easier for following vehicles to notice when the vehicle ahead is braking, thereby helping to prevent rear-end collisions.
