Headlights on âupperâ or âhighâ beam let you see about 350-400 feet ahead. 400 feet is your approximately stopping distance when driving at 50-55 mph. That is about the length of a city block. In other words, high beams let you see twice as far as low beams.
Seeing the brake lights of the car ahead sooner can reduce a driverâs stopping distance, by around 5.5 metres for instance when braking from a speed of 100 km/h (all other conditions being the same). The light-emitting diodes last an entire vehicle life, consume up to 50 percent less energy and take up less space.
