When to Turn on the Position Lights?
1 Answers
Position lights should be turned on in low visibility conditions, such as dawn, dusk, evening, hazy weather, or rainy weather. They can be used independently to alert other vehicles of your car's position and outline, serving as a warning signal. Position lights, also known as contour lights, function similarly to anti-collision lights installed on the wingtips of aircraft. Typically, position lights are white at the front and red at the rear. During dawn and dusk, human eyes have the weakest ability to distinguish colors and shapes, as the pupils are adjusting between day and night vision. Many traffic accidents occur during these times, which is precisely when position lights are most useful.
