What is the difference between position lights and low beams?
1 Answers
Position lights and low beams differ in their functions: position lights serve as a warning and do not provide illumination, while low beams are used for road lighting. Position lights are lamps installed at the front and rear high points of a vehicle, somewhat similar to the anti-collision lights on the wingtips of an aircraft. They are primarily used to indicate the width and height of the vehicle during driving in conditions such as dusk, night, overcast days, or rainy and foggy weather. Car headlights, commonly known as headlamps, include both low beams and high beams. Their main function is to provide illumination for nighttime driving. Low beams are used for urban roads with streetlights, while high beams are used for rural roads without streetlights or highways.
