Where is the car's low beam light located?

Low beam light switch is generally located on the left side of the dashboard, near the door. Turning it one notch activates the low beams. Definition of low beam: The illumination distance of low beam is approximately 30-40 meters. Experiments show: when driving at 55 km/h at night, if you immediately apply the brakes upon detecting an obstacle, the stopping distance is exactly 30 meters. This means if you stop immediately upon spotting something within the low beam's illumination range, there will be no gap between the vehicle and the object. Function of low beam: Although low beams have an illumination range of about 30 meters, they feature a very distinct cutoff line between light and dark. Measurements show most car low beams illuminate 30-40 meters, with the cutoff line appearing at 12-18 meters. The area before the cutoff line is brightly lit, allowing clear object identification, with a visible 2-3 meter diameter illuminated area on the ground. The region from the cutoff line to 30-40 meters mainly relies on ground-reflected light, where brightly colored objects can be distinguished, but stationary dark-toned objects on the road surface are harder to detect.
