Where is the headlight switch on the Audi A3?

Audi A3 headlight switch is located on the lighting control assembly on the left side of the steering wheel. Press the switch on the left side of the lighting assembly to turn on the vehicle's headlights, and press it again to turn them off. Car light switch positions: Most car light switches are integrated into the lever-type switch on the left side of the steering wheel, though there are exceptions. Some models feature a rotary knob-style light switch. When the driver turns or moves the switch to the designated position, the corresponding exterior lights will illuminate, and the dashboard will display the corresponding indicator. Lighting sequence: From left to right: left parking light, right parking light, position light (small light), automatic lighting, and low/high beam activation.
I've driven an Audi A3, and the headlight switch is located on the stalk to the left of the steering wheel. You need to rotate it to turn on the low beams or high beams. Usually, there are markings in the middle section of the stalk indicating the light modes—be careful not to accidentally touch the turn signal stalk. The Audi A3 also features automatic headlights; if set up correctly, the car will adjust the lights automatically based on ambient light, which is especially convenient for city driving or entering tunnels at night. However, on cloudy or rainy days, I recommend manually checking if the lights are on to avoid blurred vision affecting safety. Remember to check the dashboard for the light icon before turning them on, as occasional unstable battery power can cause delayed responses. Replacing bulbs or fuses is also straightforward and mostly within the DIY range for beginners—just follow the manual step by step. When driving, developing the habit of turning on the lights before starting can significantly improve overall road safety.
