What lights to use when passing through an intersection?

If driving straight through an intersection with traffic signals, simply use the low beam. If passing through an intersection without traffic signals, alternate between high and low beams at least twice. Here is some information about adjusting car lights: 1. Adjusting low beams: Vehicle light adjustment typically involves the left-right and height alignment of low beams. This is done via knobs located behind the headlight assembly, allowing owners to adjust the lights themselves using tools. 2. Headlight adjustment: Lift the engine hood and locate the adjustment knobs behind the headlight assembly. Use the appropriate tools for adjustment, first determining whether the knob adjusts left-right or up-down. Park the vehicle facing a wall about 10 meters away, observe the height of the left and right lights, and if necessary, use tape or other markers for measurement, comparison, and adjustment.
Having driven for decades, I always pay extra attention to using turn signals at intersections. If I need to turn left, I activate the left turn signal in advance; for a right turn, I use the right turn signal. Generally, no signal is needed for going straight unless it's a roundabout or special road condition, in which case I follow the rules. I remember one time when I forgot to signal and almost collided with a nearby car. Since then, I've developed the habit of signaling early, usually about 100 meters before the intersection, so other drivers can see clearly. Not using turn signals is particularly dangerous and can easily lead to rear-end collisions or crashes, especially in rainy conditions with poor visibility. I now consider this a safety habit—not just for myself but to prevent accidents on the road. Everyone should regularly check their bulbs and replace them if they're faulty. Don’t be lazy; this small detail can save lives. Since adopting this habit, I feel much more at ease while driving, and the accident rate has significantly decreased.
