What is the difference between position lights and daytime running lights?

[StAaliyah]

Introduction to the difference between position lights and daytime running lights: 1. Position lights are generally turned on after dusk and are mainly used to indicate the width and height of the car while driving. Typically, position lights are white at the front and red at the rear. 2. Daytime running lights are designed to make the vehicle more visible during daytime driving. Their purpose is not to help the driver see the road, so these lights are not illumination lights but rather signal lights. Here is more information: 1. Position lights are located at the four corners of the vehicle, both front and rear, while daytime running lights are only at the front. 2. Position lights need to be manually turned on, whereas daytime running lights do not—they automatically turn on when the car starts and turn off when the engine is shut off. 3. Position lights are usually tungsten filament bulbs (halogen lights) with a yellowish and dimmer light, while daytime running lights are generally LED lights. 4. However, many cars now use the same light for both front position lights and daytime running lights, though the position light mode is dimmer than the daytime running light mode.
