Where is the headlight switch on a Ford?

Ford's headlight switch is located on the rotary knob to the left of the steering wheel. Turn it clockwise to adjust between high and low beams. Switching can be done by pulling the left wiper control lever behind the steering wheel toward the driver. For high beams, pull the left turn signal lever toward the steering wheel, which has two positions: the first position turns on the headlights, and pulling it further up to the second position keeps the high beams on continuously. For low beams, adjust the rotary knob on the left side of the instrument panel; generally, turning it two positions to the right activates the headlights. The Ford Edge has body dimensions of 4878mm in length, 1925mm in width, and 1734mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2850mm, classifying it as an entry-level compact car.
I've been driving for 15 years and owned three Ford vehicles. The headlight switch is typically located on the lower left dashboard near the steering wheel. There's a large rotary knob with marked positions showing OFF, parking lights, headlight icon, and AUTO. You can feel distinct detents when rotating the knob, making it easy to operate blindly at night. My Edge has this design, with a front fog light button positioned to the left of the knob. Note that some Ford trucks integrate the headlight switch into the turn signal stalk's tip - this design requires rotating a small ring on the stalk end. Developing a habit of checking light switch positions before driving is crucial, especially in rainy or foggy conditions, as timely light activation enhances safety.
