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.
