Why are the Left and Right Headlights Different?

Aug. 18, 2020

As a Zotye Head Lamp Supplier China, share with you. Meeting cars at night, meeting high beam lights. Toggle the light control lever. Prompt the other party to switch to the low beam, and the two cars will know each other. In fact, when the engineers designed the car headlights, they considered the safety problems of the night meeting cars, so they made some changes in the light presentation. If you don't know the engineer's "good intentions", turn on the headlights of the vehicle and see the lights go up and down. I thought there was a problem with the lights in my car.

It is true that there is a sense of contradiction in looking at one high and one low, because in most people's perception, parallel and symmetrical are a kind of beauty.

So, what is the reason for this design?

In fact, the design of one high and one low headlights is deliberate. Generally speaking, the headlights of the countries where the car is driving on the right are left low and the right is high. The country where the car is driving on the left is the opposite.

In our country, all vehicles drive on the right, the oncoming vehicle is on the left, and the left headlight is turned down to ensure the vision of the oncoming driver and effectively reduce the occurrence of accidents.

Why is the light on the right side higher than the light on the left?

The light on the right side is high in order to illuminate farther, on the one hand, to help the driver find the pedestrian ahead 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 and set aside a safe time.

Can the light height be adjusted?

The illumination height of the vehicle headlights can also be adjusted up and down according to the load of the vehicle. If the vehicle has a heavy load and the body becomes lower, the headlight irradiation distance will become closer. At this time, it is necessary to increase the headlight irradiation height appropriately.

PS: The models without the adjustment knob have more advanced automatic adjustment functions, which can adjust the height of the headlights through the suspension sensor, which is safe and intelligent.

The light is not only a beacon for our driving at night, illuminating the road ahead, but also related to driving safety. For ourselves and others, we should use car lights reasonably!
