What Lights Should You Turn on When Driving at Night?

When driving at night, you should turn on the low beam headlights. Short-range illumination: The low beam headlights are designed for short-range illumination, with a wide coverage angle (160°), short projection distance, and non-adjustable focus. Projection distance: The low beam headlights have a projection distance of approximately 30-40 meters. Experiments show that when driving at 55 km/h at night, the braking distance after spotting an obstacle is exactly 30 meters. You must turn on the low beam headlights when driving in areas without streetlights at night, during dusk when it's getting dark, or at dawn when the light is still dim. In conditions of heavy fog, snow, or rain that limit visibility, you should also turn on the low beam headlights even during the day. Additionally, on some roads where the lighting is insufficient despite having streetlights, the low beam headlights should be turned on.
