Set the low beam 12345 to 3. Below is relevant information about vehicle lights: 1. Headlights: Combined headlights are located at the front of the vehicle, primarily serving illumination and signaling purposes. The light emitted by headlights illuminates the road conditions ahead, enabling safe nighttime driving. Combined headlights can be categorized by light source into: halogen tungsten lamps and xenon lamps. 2. Combined taillights: Combined taillights are positioned at the rear of the vehicle, mainly for illumination and signaling. Rear lights typically consist of rear position lights, reverse lights, brake lights, rear fog lights, rear turn signals, and retroreflectors.

I've been driving for almost twenty years and often help friends adjust their headlights. The knob on the low beam with numbers 1 to 5 adjusts the beam height, where 1 represents the farthest and highest, and 5 represents the closest and lowest. The setting depends on the car's condition: if the car is unloaded or usually driven in the city, it's best to set it to 2 or 3 to avoid being too dazzling; if the car is fully loaded with passengers or the trunk is packed with luggage, adjust it to 4 or 5 to prevent the lights from shining too high into others' eyes. Improper settings can increase the risk of nighttime accidents, such as oncoming drivers being unable to see the road clearly. It's advisable to check local traffic regulations, as some places require headlights to meet certain standards. During regular maintenance, have the technician confirm if the headlight angle is standard—safety always comes first.

As a driver who frequently travels long distances, I find it quite important to adjust the low beam to the appropriate setting. That 1-2-3-4-5 scale is usually best set to a middle value, like 2 or 3, which suits most road conditions. The exact number should be checked in the manual since defaults vary by vehicle model. For example, setting it too low when the car is empty can impair visibility, while setting it too high when fully loaded can cause glare. I make it a habit to adjust whenever carrying passengers or heavy loads to avoid violations. A quick reminder: incorrect lighting may result in fines and can also affect braking distance judgment. For a simple check: find level ground, park about 5 meters from a wall, and ensure the light cutoff line is below the rearview mirror of the car in front.

When I first started driving, I didn't know how to adjust the low beam. Later I figured it out. The higher the numbers (1-5) on that knob, the lower the beam angle. Set it to 1 or 2 when the car is empty for longer beam distance to see the road clearly; use 4 or 5 when fully loaded or carrying heavy cargo to lower the beam and avoid glare. Normally setting 3 is the safest. Test drive after adjustment to check the effect, and remember to regularly inspect bulbs and wiring to prevent malfunctions. Overly high beams may cause accidents, while too low settings make it hard to see potholes.
