They emit a softer, wider light that typically ranges from 40 to 100 metres (130 to 330 feet) ahead. The key characteristic of low beams is that their light is angled downwards towards the road, minimising glare for other drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-to-use-low-beam-headlights\">When to Use Low Beam Headlights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Low beams are the most commonly used headlight setting.

Low beam halogen bulbs are usually the cheapest, priced around <strong>AED 50 to AED 200 <\/strong>per bulb, while LED or Xenon high beam bulbs can range from <strong>AED 300 to AED 2,000 <\/strong>per bulb.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For premium cars, particularly those with adaptive or multi-beam LED headlights, replacement costs can go as high as <strong>AED 3,000 to 4,500<\/strong> for a full assembly.
