Where are the position lights located on a car?

[Mitchell]

Car position lights are located at the top edges of the vehicle. Officially known as width markers or clearance lights, they indicate both the height and width of the vehicle. Safety standards require vehicles exceeding 3 meters in height to be equipped with width markers. These lights are primarily used during dusk, overcast days, or rainy/foggy conditions to display a vehicle's dimensions, helping other drivers determine relative position and size during passing or overtaking maneuvers. They typically appear white at the front and red at the rear. Main types of automotive lights and their functions include: 1) Brake lights: Warn following vehicles/pedestrians; 2) Turn signals: Alert surrounding vehicles/pedestrians; 3) High beams: Illuminate distant road conditions; 4) Low beams: Provide visibility for immediate road surfaces.
