Wikipedia
high beam
A headlamp is a lamp attached to the front of a vehicle to illuminate the road ahead. Headlamps are also often called headlights, but in the most precise usage, headlamp is the term for the device itself and headlight is the term for the beam of light produced and distributed by the device. Headlamp performance has steadily improved throughout the automobile age, spurred by the great disparity between daytime and nighttime traffic fatalities: the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration states that nearly half of all traffic-related fatalities occur in the dark, despite only 25% of traffic travelling during darkness.Other vehicles, such as trains and aircraft, are required to have headlamps. Bicycle headlamps are often used on bicycles, and are required in some jurisdictions. They can be powered by a battery or a small generator like a bottle or hub dynamo.

high beam
High beam is a term used in vehicular lighting to refer to the powerful, bright setting of a vehicle's headlights that provide maximum forward visibility when driving in poorly-lit conditions or at night. They are designed to illuminate a longer range and a wider area of the road ahead, compared to regular or low beam lights. However, they can significantly dazzle other drivers, so should be switched off when approaching or following other vehicles.
