How to Turn Off Car Tail Lights?
2 Answers
If the parking brake is not released, the tail lights will remain on. Therefore, first check whether the parking brake is released. If it is not, release it completely to turn off the tail lights. If the parking brake has been released but the tail lights are still on, consider that the brake light switch may be damaged and needs to be replaced with a new one.
I've been driving for almost ten years, and turning off the taillights is actually quite simple—it mainly relies on the headlight switch. Just turn the headlight knob on the left side of the steering wheel to the OFF position, and the taillights will naturally turn off. If your car has an automatic function, the lights will turn off on their own when there's sufficient ambient light; for manual operation, you’ll need to switch modes before turning them OFF. Remember, never fiddle with the switch while driving, or the cars behind you won’t see you—that’s dangerous, especially at night or in rainy or foggy conditions. You can practice when parked—like I often do in the garage to save power temporarily—but don’t leave the lights on for too long to avoid draining the battery. If the lights won’t turn off? It might be a faulty switch or a blown fuse. In that case, don’t tinker blindly; take it to a reliable repair shop for a checkup. Safety always comes first, so it’s practical to check the lights during regular maintenance.
