How to Turn Off Car Headlights?
2 Answers
Method to turn off car headlights: Simply rotate the light button to the OFF or O position. Some models have this control on the lever, while others have it on a button. Some car headlight switches are rotary-style, requiring the button to be rotated to turn on the headlights. In Japanese car models, lever-style switches are more common, with the lever located below the left side of the steering wheel. Car headlights, also known as car front lights or car LED daytime running lights, serve as the "eyes" of the car. They not only relate to the external image of the car owner but are also closely linked to safe driving at night or under bad weather conditions. The use and maintenance of car lights should not be overlooked.
When I first learned to drive, turning off the car headlights was quite confusing. I remember during the first few days of practice at driving school, the instructor pointed to the control lever on the lower left side of the steering wheel and said, 'This is the light switch. If the headlights are on, gently twist the knob to the OFF position to turn them off.' At first, I always twisted it the wrong way, causing the lights to flicker on and off, nearly draining the battery. Later, I realized that different cars have different designs: for example, my old sedan used a mechanical lever, while newer SUVs might have automatic headlights, requiring you to cancel AUTO mode before turning them off, otherwise they'd turn back on automatically. It's a good habit to check the position of the light control lever every time you park; otherwise, leaving the lights on overnight in the garage could drain the battery. If the headlights won't turn off, it might be due to a stuck relay—don't panic, you can pull the fuse as an emergency measure, but get it fixed as soon as possible. Regularly clean the light switch to prevent oxidation from affecting contact. In short, with a bit more practice, beginners will get the hang of it.
