i need to know the difference between main beam and full beam headlights as theres a question i could be asked on my driving test. "Show me how you switch your headlight from dipped to main beam and explain how you would know the main beam is on whilst inside the car?" Answer given on sheet "operate switch, check main beam warning light" My instructo says this means put your lights on dipped beam and change the postioning of the headlight up and down on her car it goes 1 2 3 2 1 0 and comes up on the dash board that its on a certain setting. but my dad says it means put on dipped head lights and put on full beam and a blue symbol will come up warning you. im not sure which one it is as not all cars have what she is talking about on there system to come up telling you its at 1 2 or 3 etc... and the question applys to all cars. Please help as my test is very soon
 
Main beam, full beam and high beam are all the same thing.
To avoid confusion, just call it main beam, the same as the test.
I don't know what drugs your driving instructor is on, but there are no numbers to do with your headlights.
Your dad is correct. There is a little blue light that comes on (usually near the speedo) that tells you when your lights are on main beam.
