You must dim your high-beams if you're within 500 feet of an approaching car and dim your high-beams within 300 feet of the vehicle you follow.
no
300 Feet.
You can use your high beams when it is dark and no one is approaching you and you aren't following anyone.
low for a highway when theres many people around ...and if your on a dark road with no one on it use you high beams so youll be able to see better ...but remember on a crowded road having your high beams on can affect other drivers
If you can see his headlights, drop your high beams. In some states its the law 300 feet at least.
Your headlights turn off when you turn the high beams on because you have a defective switch. You need to have a mechanic replace the high beams switch. It is a simple replacement.
If the high beam switch is broken that it should be replaced. When the unit is replaced the high beams will work again.
1,000 feet.
To turn on the high beams in a 1970 Chevy C20, locate the floor-mounted dimmer switch, usually situated to the left of the brake pedal. Press the switch down with your foot to activate the high beams. You may need to pull it up to switch back to low beams. Always ensure your headlights are turned on before attempting to switch between high and low beams.
Your high beams work but your low beams do not because the switch is broken that switches between high and low beams. Electrical switches wear out.
