When to Use the Width Indicator Lights?
2 Answers
Width indicator lights are used during dawn, dusk, and rainy or overcast weather. Here is an introduction to width indicator lights: 1. Width indicator lights are warning lights on vehicles, primarily used in low visibility conditions to alert other vehicles. 2. Since the width indicator lights also turn on when the headlights are activated, many drivers do not have the habit of manually turning them on during daily driving. 3. In hazy weather, during evening drives, or in light rain, the width indicator lights can be turned on independently without the need to activate the low beam headlights (as low beams are not very noticeable during the day), making it easier for vehicles in front and behind to identify your car.
As a seasoned driver with twenty years of experience, I often turn on the width lights in low-light conditions, which I find absolutely essential. For instance, during the dim light of early mornings or the fading light of dusk when visibility is poor, turning on the width lights makes it easier for other vehicles and pedestrians to recognize the outline and size of my car, significantly reducing the risk of accidents on highways or city roads. Additionally, during rainy days or light fog when visibility is blurred, I always turn them on immediately—not just for my own safety but also to avoid rear-end collisions. Every time I see others not using their lights in low-light areas, I can’t help but feel concerned. In short, whenever the ambient light is low, regardless of the weather or time of day, I make sure to turn on the lights promptly.
