What is the difference between position lights and clearance lights?

[ONolan]

Position lights and clearance lights are the same. Here is more information about position lights: 1. Position lights, also called clearance lights, refer to lamps installed at high points on the front and rear of a vehicle, similar to anti-collision lights mounted on aircraft wingtips. 2. They mainly serve to indicate a vehicle's width and height during driving in conditions like dusk, cloudy days, or rainy/foggy weather, helping drivers judge relative positions and vehicle sizes during encounters or overtaking. Typically, position lights are white at the front and red at the rear. Additional lighting types and functions include: 1. Brake lights: Warn following vehicles or pedestrians; 2. Turn signals: Alert surrounding vehicles and pedestrians.
