It is not permissible to drive at night with only the width indicator lights on; you must turn on the low beam headlights. Automotive width indicator lights are installed on vehicles to indicate the width of the car. They are a type of commonly used light. When the light switch is turned to the first position, the small lights that illuminate at the front and rear are the width indicator lights (also known as evening running lights, which are turned on when it is not completely dark; the next position after the width indicator lights is the low beam, and the high beam refers to the main headlights). Automotive width indicator lights are used to show the width of the vehicle to alert other drivers and vehicles behind. Width lights are used during evening driving to make the vehicle visible to others. The following are the guidelines for using lights when driving at night: 1. It is best to use high beams on national highways or expressways. When driving at night on sparsely traveled national highways, expressways, or roads without street lighting, it is advisable for the driver to use high beams for illumination. When the high beams are on, a prominent blue light will illuminate on the dashboard as a reminder. 2. Turn on the hazard warning lights in case of road faults or when towing a vehicle. If you encounter sudden vehicle malfunctions, traffic accidents, or need to pull over at night, or if you are towing a disabled vehicle, whether you are the towing vehicle or the towed vehicle, you should promptly turn on the hazard warning flashing lights. 3. Turn on the running lights first when driving at night. Running lights, commonly referred to as 'small lights' or width indicator lights, are the first thing a driver should do before driving at night. They indicate the four corners of the vehicle's body to surrounding vehicles to ensure a safe distance. The running light switch is generally the first position on the light switch.
