high-beams

Maximum headlight setting

High-beams are a vehicle's bright headlights, aimed higher and farther than the dimmed low-beams used in normal driving.

Drivers switch to high-beams on dark roads without oncoming traffic: Flash your high-beams to warn him.

In slang, high-beams refers to visibly erect nipples showing through clothing.
