Hi Naomi,
Dipped headlights means exactly that. The headlights on a car can be
adjusted to two levels - high and low. When driving at night a car's
headlights are usually on 'low' or dipped' in order not to haze or blind the
driver of an oncoming car. It really means that the beam of light is
lowered to the road in front rather than beaming further ahead on a dark
road, which should only be done if therre are no street lights and no
oncoming cars.
Hope this makes sense.
Enjoy life,
Patricia

"In Norway you must drive with dipped headlights".
How does one dip headlights?
