Will the position lights turn on when the low beam is activated?
1 Answers
When the low beam is activated, the position lights will definitely turn on. Generally, the position lights are linked with the headlights, and they are located at the rear of the vehicle. As long as the headlights are turned on, whether it's the low beam or high beam, the position lights will automatically illuminate without manual intervention. When the low beam is turned on, the position lights are also activated by default, turning on simultaneously with the low beam. If you want to turn on the position lights alone, there is no need to activate the low beam. The low beam and high beam are used during nighttime driving, where both headlights and position lights are required to outline the vehicle's profile. In conditions of low visibility such as dawn, rain, or fog, there is no need to turn on the low beam. The low beam is primarily used for illumination, while the position lights serve as a warning signal. They do not have an illumination function and fall under the category of signal lights. This is the main difference between position lights and low beams. The necessity of turning on lights during nighttime driving is unquestionable, as traffic regulations mandate that both headlights and tail lights must be on during nighttime driving.
