What is the reason why the headlight lights are high and low?
I don’t know if car friends have noticed that the headlight lights are actually high and low. To be precise, the light on the left is low and the light on the right is high, so that when driving at night ,
The light on the left side does not shine as far as the light on the right side. So why is this? Let us tell you why below!
The reason why the headlight lights are high and low
When a car drives on the right, the headlight lights are low on the left and high on the right. When a car drives on the left, the headlight lights are high on the left and low on the right. Our country drives on the right, and the main driver's seat is on the left. When meeting cars at night, lowering the left headlight can reduce the impact of the light on the driver's sight of oncoming vehicles and enhance driving safety.
The light on the right is slightly higher to illuminate farther and expand the driver's field of vision. On the one hand, it helps drivers detect pedestrians in front of them earlier to ensure safe driving; on the other hand, it can also remind non-motorized vehicles or pedestrians to pay attention to vehicles coming from behind, allowing safety time for both parties.
In our country, car headlights lights are low on the left and high on the right, which is clearly stipulated by regulations. In addition, when driving conditions change, in order to avoid blind spots in the field of vision, the height of the lights needs to be adjusted.
Adjustment of light height
The illumination height of vehicle headlights can be adjusted up or down according to the load of the vehicle. When the vehicle load is heavy and the body becomes lower, the
headlight illumination distance will become closer. At this time, the headlight illumination height needs to be adjusted appropriately. Some models have automatic adjustment buttons, but the adjustment range is not large. If there is no automatic adjustment button, you can also adjust the headlight screw. This is basically equipped on all models.
At this time, some car friends may ask, why do some car lights have different standard light patterns? How can you know whether your car lights meet the standard light pattern? The following introduces several common standard light types of headlights.
The three common standard light types
01
European standard light type
The left side is horizontal, the right side is tilted upward for a longer distance, the vertical and downward radiance is large, and there will be more dark areas on the left side.
02
American standard light type
adopts an oblique stepped design with a slightly different left and right, which has a wider illumination angle. It has obvious advantages in suburbs or some places with poor road lighting conditions.
03
mixed standard light pattern
combines the characteristics of European standard and American standard light patterns. It can better take care of the field of vision of oncoming vehicles without causing too many dark areas on the left side.
The editor of Pengfeng would like to remind all car friends that for the safety of you and others, please adjust the car headlights in time.
When driving at night, if you encounter an oncoming car using high beam, you can slow down as soon as possible and drive slowly to the right, and by quickly changing the high and low beam,
reminds the oncoming car to change its lights. Driving safety comes first. Driving at night is not easy. I hope everyone can use lights reasonably.
