"Parking lights" generally refer to lights located at the front and rear of a vehicle. They are also called "position lights" or "parking lights". Here's what you need to know about these fires:

Front parking lights: These lights are located on the front of a vehicle and are illuminated to increase the visibility of the vehicle, especially at night or in bad weather. They are not as bright as low beams or high beams, but they serve to indicate the presence of the vehicle to other drivers.

Rear parking lights: Rear parking lights are located at the rear of a vehicle. They are also illuminated to improve visibility of the vehicle from the rear. They are usually red in color and are lit at the same time as the front parking lights.

Use: The position lights are on when the vehicle is parked or immobilized outside driving hours. They can also be used in low visibility situations, such as when it is dark or foggy, to signal the presence of the vehicle to other road users.

Difference to low beam and high beam: Parking lights are less bright than low beam and high beam. Low beams are used to illuminate the road ahead of the vehicle, while high beams are even brighter and should only be used on open, lightly traveled roads.

It is important to note that parking light requirements may vary from country to country depending on local legislation. It is essential to know and follow the driving rules in your area regarding the use of parking lights, low beams and high beams.
