Dim lights?

[Torsten]

Hi,

At the entrance to the parking lot of the US embassy I saw this sign which read "dim lights". So, does this mean you have to turn your lights off? I mean, how can you "dim" your car lights? You can only turn them on or turn them off, can't you?

Thanks for shedding some light on this question.

Hi Torsten

I would understand that to mean that you can use the low beams of your headlights but not the high beams.

Hi Amy,

I think this was the fastest response I've ever received here on the forum! Thanks a lot for your explanation which makes perfect sense.
