Are high beams the same as brights?
High beams are sometimes referred to as ‘brights’ or ‘full beams’. The light beam for high beams is angled upwards in order to illuminate a surface area above and beyond the light of the low beams. High beams have a long-range focus. Driving with your high beams can blind oncoming traffic, which can be very dangerous.
