Headlights are headlamps attached to a vehicle’s front. They are used to light the road ahead. There are different types of headlights. They include:
- Dipped headlights
These are the most commonly used type of headlights. They are not as bright as full beam headlights but are brighter than sidelights. They are tilted towards the ground, hence, the name. They are usually used during bad weather and at night when there is extremely reduced visibility.
- Full beam headlights
They are the brightest type of headlights. They allow you to see the road more since they are inclined higher than the dipped headlights. It is advisable to use them during nighttime when the road is unlit.
