Method to turn on the headlights of a Volkswagen car: 1. Turn the light control switch on the left side of the steering wheel forward one notch to activate the position lights, also known as the width indicators. 2. Turn the light control switch inward twice to activate the low beam headlights, primarily used for urban driving at night. 3. Push the light control switch forward once to activate the high beam headlights. 4. Lift the light control switch forward and upward once to activate the right turn signal; push it downward and to the left to activate the left turn signal. 5. Between the dashboard and the passenger side console, there are two light control switches. One is for the fog lights, used during foggy conditions; the other is for the hazard warning lights. Limitations of headlight assembly modifications: 1. The cost is too high. 2. The assembly is restricted by the original manufacturer's parts. If the vehicle model does not have a xenon headlight assembly, it is impossible to install one. For example, the Jeep Cherokee definitely does not have an original xenon headlight assembly.

As a long-time Volkswagen driver, turning on the headlights is part of my daily routine. There's a control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel - rotate it one notch to the right to activate the position lights, and another notch for low beams. To temporarily use high beams, push the stalk downward, but remember to return it to avoid dazzling other drivers. Turning on lights promptly during night driving or in fog significantly improves safety. I once nearly had an accident in rainy weather due to improper lighting, so now I always check my lights by twisting the stalk after starting the car. Volkswagen's design is intuitive - even in my Golf model, the controls are consistently simple and reliable. I recommend owners regularly maintain bulb conditions, especially after prolonged use as aging bulbs affect brightness. Using headlights isn't just about compliance - it's a vital safety measure that protects both yourself and others. Developing this habit can prevent many potential hazards.

My Volkswagen ID.4 makes headlight operation super convenient! The rotary stalk on the left side of the steering wheel is the control hub: rotate it from the 'OFF' position to the first notch for parking lights, and the second for low beams; switching to high beams just requires a gentle downward push of the stalk, enabling temporary use on dark roads. Even cooler is the automatic mode—press the AUTO button, and the lights turn on/off automatically based on ambient light, like when entering tunnels or at dusk, making it much more worry-free. The LED headlights' brightness adjustment is also intelligent, reducing fatigue during city driving. As a young car owner, I think modern Volkswagen models integrate these features very efficiently, with operations being almost effortless—just take a few seconds to confirm the light indicators display correctly. Safety is non-negotiable; proper lighting helps prevent nighttime collisions. I often share this experience with friends to ensure safe travels. Regular checks of bulbs and electrical systems are also crucial—don't wait for a malfunction to fix it, as that could impact the driving experience.
