dipped headlights
Dimmed driving lights
Dipped headlights are vehicle headlights angled downward to illuminate the road without blinding oncoming drivers.
The term is primarily British; Americans say low beams.
You dip your headlights when approaching other vehicles at night or in fog: Flash your headlights to signal, then dip them.
