What is the difference between position lights and low beam headlights?

[SanGianna]

Position lights and low beam headlights are both used for nighttime illumination. Position lights, also known as marker lights or commonly referred to as small lights, serve as warning lights to alert other vehicles. On the other hand, low beam headlights are designed to provide good lighting for the driver. Their differences are as follows: 1. Position lights: Position lights are also called 'marker lights.' The term 'position' signifies a warning, while 'marker' represents the outline. Position lights are installed at the edges of the vehicle's outline, allowing other vehicles to clearly see the position and size of your vehicle, thereby preventing rear-end collisions or side swipes. 2. Low beam headlights: Low beam headlights typically have an illumination range within 50 meters, primarily aimed at clearly seeing the road ahead. They are usually turned on in areas with heavy traffic, as high beam headlights can cause glare to oncoming drivers.
