What is the reason when the low beam headlights appear to be on but seem ineffective?

This may be due to the height adjustment of the low beam headlights, which can be adjusted at a 4S shop. Alternatively, it could be caused by window tinting films with poor light transmittance, leading to this situation. Here is some information about car lights: Low beam headlights: Designed for close-range illumination, they feature a wide coverage angle (160°) but a short projection distance, and the focus cannot be adjusted. Function: Low beam headlights have a distinct cutoff line between light and dark. Most vehicle low beams illuminate a distance of 30-40 meters, with the cutoff line located around 12-18 meters. The area in front of the cutoff line is brightly lit, allowing clear object identification, and a visibly illuminated area of 2-3 meters in diameter can be seen on the ground. The area from the cutoff line to 30-40 meters relies mainly on ground-reflected light, where brightly colored objects can still be distinguished. High beam headlights: These should only be used when there are no other lighting facilities on the road and no oncoming vehicles, as they can severely impair the vision of other drivers.
