How to turn on the headlights?
2 Answers
The turn signal knob on the left side of the steering wheel, pull the handle vertically upward once to turn on the low beam headlights. The classification of headlights includes the following 3 points: 1. Semi-sealed headlights: The diffuser lens and reflector of semi-sealed headlights are glued together and cannot be disassembled. The bulb can be installed from the rear of the reflector. The advantage of semi-sealed headlights is that only the bulb needs to be replaced when the filament burns out, and the disadvantage is poor sealing; 2. Sealed headlights: They are further divided into standard sealed headlights and halogen tungsten sealed headlights. The optical system of standard sealed headlights welds the reflector and diffuser lens into a single unit to form the bulb shell, and the filament is welded to the base of the reflector; 3. Projector headlights: Mainly composed of the bulb, reflector, shade, and convex diffuser lens. They use a thick convex diffuser lens without patterns, and the reflector is elliptical, so its outer diameter is very small.
I always enjoy exploring these little driving tips, and turning on the headlights is actually super easy. Usually, there's a control lever on the left side of the steering wheel with a light icon or knob—just twist it to turn on the low or high beams. For new drivers who just bought a car, don’t worry about mistakes; most dashboards will have a light indicator. I’ve also noticed that some new cars come with an automatic feature, turning on the lights when it gets dark or when entering a tunnel, saving the hassle of manual operation. For safety, always check if the lights are working properly before driving, especially in heavy winter fog—lights can be lifesavers. Personally, I make it a habit to wipe the lamp covers weekly to prevent dust from affecting brightness. Remember, don’t fiddle with the light control lever while driving at high speeds; it’s safest to adjust after parking.
