What lights to use when making a right turn at an intersection at night?

Quickly turn the high beams on and off a few times to signal that a vehicle is approaching. At the same time, the right turn signal should also be activated. Below is relevant information: 1. No traffic lights: Turn on the low beams. If passing through an intersection without traffic signal control, you should slow down and alternately flash the high and low beams as a signal. 2. No illumination: Under normal circumstances, only the low beams are needed for night driving. If you encounter a completely dark road ahead with no street lighting facilities, the high beams should be turned on. If you are about to meet another vehicle, switch to low beams in advance and wait until the meeting is over before deciding whether to turn the high beams back on based on the situation.
As a driver who frequently drives at night, I always use the right turn signal when making a right turn at intersections. This is not only to indicate my intention but also to protect the safety of myself and others. With dim lighting at night, turning on the signal allows vehicles behind and pedestrians to see the turning signal in advance, avoiding collisions. I activate the signal dozens of meters ahead, then slow down to check blind spots before turning. If the lights aren't working, accidents are more likely, so I regularly inspect my vehicle's lighting system. Don't underestimate this habit—it reduces tension during nighttime turns. When friends ask for advice, I share similar experiences: though lights may seem small, their responsibility is significant. Developing good habits increases safety. Maintaining proper lighting is caring for life.
