How to Turn On Low Beam and High Beam for Manual Transmission Cars?
2 Answers
After getting into the car, observe the steering wheel. The switch for switching between low beam and high beam is usually located on the left side of the steering wheel. Flipping the switch up and down changes between low beam and high beam. Generally, pushing it down turns on the high beam, pushing it up turns on the low beam, and lifting it up again also turns on the high beam.
I've been driving manual transmission cars for over a decade, and the light controls are quite straightforward. The lever on the left side of the steering wheel is the most frequently used. Turn it to the first position for parking lights, and one more click turns on the low beams. When high beams are needed, just push the lever forward slightly, and a blue indicator will light up on the dashboard. Pulling the lever toward you activates the high beam flash, which is super useful for alerting the car ahead. Remember to use the fog light button during rainy or foggy conditions—it's usually located near the steering wheel or on the center console. The worst thing when driving at night is forgetting to turn off the high beams, as oncoming drivers will flash their lights to remind you. Most cars nowadays come with automatic headlights, but I still prefer manually turning them on—it gives me more peace of mind.
