Low beam headlights typically illuminate the road up to about 150 to 200 feet (approximately 45 to 60 meters) ahead. This distance can vary based on the vehicle's headlight design and alignment, as well as environmental factors like weather conditions. Low beams are designed to provide adequate visibility without blinding oncoming drivers. For optimal safety, it’s important to use high beams in dark, rural areas when there is no oncoming traffic.
High beam headlights reveal objects at a distance of at least 450 feet away. High beam headlights allow the driver to view obstacles in the road much sooner than low beam headlights.
For headlights that need to illuminate a long distance, the bulb should be placed deeper within the headlight housing to allow the beam of light to project further out ahead of the vehicle. This positioning helps to focus the light and extend its range, improving visibility for the driver on the road.

High beam headlights can illuminate anywhere from 30 meters to 150 meters ahead of the car. This is 98 feet to 492 feet away.

Low beams are the headlights when they are dipped. Used to light up the road just in front of you and biased towards the kerb nearest you. They also allow you to be seen clearly, but without blinding oncoming vehicles or those in front of you. When there is no other traffic to blind, the headlights should be switched to main beam, to give you the best view ahead and early warning of dangers. A blue light on the dashboard warns you when your headlights are on Main beam and blinding. If you have your headlights switched on and there is NO blue light, then your headlights are on Low beam.

Low beam headlights are designed to illuminate the road ahead without blinding oncoming drivers. They provide a focused beam of light that is directed downwards and closer to the vehicle, allowing you to see better in low-light conditions by improving visibility without causing glare or reflections.
Yes, headlights must be on low beam within 500 feet of an approaching vehicle.
