What lights to use when passing through an intersection at night?

When passing through an intersection at night, you should use low beam headlights. Using high beams at intersections is unsafe. If there is an oncoming vehicle and a pedestrian crossing at the same time, the glare from both vehicles' high beams can temporarily blind drivers, making it difficult to spot pedestrians and potentially causing accidents. Therefore, low beams should be used. Situations requiring low beams: 1. Driving in unlit areas at night or during dusk/dawn when visibility is poor; 2. During heavy fog, snow, or rain that obstructs visibility - low beams are necessary even during daytime; 3. On roads with insufficient lighting despite having street lamps.
