What is the difference between position lights and daytime running lights?
1 Answers
Position lights and daytime running lights differ in the following aspects: taillights, activation time, operation method, color, bulb type, and location. Details are as follows: Taillights difference: Position lights have both rear taillights and front position lights; daytime running lights do not have rear taillights. Activation time difference: Position lights are generally turned on after dusk, primarily used to indicate the width and height of the vehicle during driving, helping other drivers judge relative positions and vehicle size during overtaking or meeting; daytime running lights are designed to make the vehicle more noticeable during daytime driving, serving as signal lights. Operation method difference: Position lights have a separate switch; daytime running lights automatically turn on at position 0 without a separate switch. Color difference: Typically, position lights are white in the front and red at the rear; daytime running lights emit a whiter light. Bulb difference: Position lights usually use tungsten filament bulbs, while daytime running lights typically use LED bulbs. Location difference: Position lights are distributed at the four corners of the vehicle, both front and rear; daytime running lights are only located at the front.
