Why are the beam directions of left and right lamps
inconsistent?
Since China adopts the rule that left﹣hand drive vehicles travel on the right
side of the road, according to the regulations of headlamp lens for vehicles,
all vehicle lights are low on the left side and high on the right side, namely
low on the driver side and high on the passenger side. Such rule is aimed
at avoiding obstructing the view of the driver in an oncoming vehicle during
meeting, as well as illuminating the road ahead. As a result, the inconsistent
beam directions of left and right headlamps are required by regulations.
