Listen to Dad.

Main beam, Full beam, High beam are all referring to more light focused farther in front of your car. And the universal color for this on the dash display is blue. Problem is you can't always drive around with your high beams on because you'll blind oncoming drivers. The purpose of this question is to make sure you know how to identify and operate your high beams. The first time you experience someone driving towards you at night with their high beams on you'll know how dangerous and annoying it is!

P.S. Dad's love sons that study!!!

it sounds like your talking about high beam and low beam. you use high beam when no one is approaching you or so you can see ahead of you at a long distance and low beam you use them like in foggy weather and when you following someone or oncoming traffic. low beam hit down closer to the road so you won,t blind someone and they will cut the fog.
Main beam, full beam and high beam are all the same thing.

To avoid confusion, just call it main beam, the same as the test.

I don't know what drugs your driving instructor is on, but there are no numbers to do with your headlights.

Your dad is correct. There is a little blue light that comes on (usually near the speedo) that tells you when your lights are on main beam.
