Low beams vary on many cars, but the average range is about 40-50ft. High beams tend to go abought 100-120ft. Although in fog or when snowing, low beams, are for some reason much better.
In response to above:
LOW beam should be able to see well in excess of 50 ft, closer to 150ft. At 70mph the car covers a little over 100 feet every second. This means if the headlights only projected 50ft you would only be able to see something about .5 seconds before you hit it. This is clearly not the case.
This can also be thought about in a more qualitative manner. As you are in our car looking down a street with a row of houses how many houses down the street can you see, roughly 2-4. Each house lot is very roughly 50ft so the lamps can see roughly 100 to 200 ft.
