What is the light below the headlight?
Car sidelights, or parking lights as they are sometimes known, are usually found in the headlamp unit in the front corners of your car. Sidelights aren’t as bright as headlights, so are used by drivers to make themselves visible to traffic during times when it’s not dark enough for main lights.
Is it illegal to drive with just sidelights on?
Although legally you can just use your sidelights at night so long as you’re driving under 30mph in a well-lit area, most people opt for dipped headlights instead – they do a much better job at lighting up the road ahead. Do use your dipped headlights if you’re driving at night.
