From real experience

tipWhile specific laws regarding lower headlight brightness are not widely documented, it is generally recommended to ensure headlights are functional and visible.
Some anecdotal reports suggest that yellow lower headlights might be preferred or required in certain areas. It is advisable to comply with local police requests and, if possible, inquire about specific regulations from local authorities or experienced drivers to avoid potential issues.
