The position below the lower left of the steering wheel. Here is the relevant content introduction: 1. Overall structure: In terms of the overall structure of the headlight, whether it is an ordinary halogen headlight, a xenon headlight, or a headlight with an LED light group, there is a ventilation rubber tube on the rear cover position. When the headlight is turned on or during use, a large amount of heat is generated. The function of the ventilation tube is to discharge this heat out of the headlight as much as possible to maintain the normal working temperature of the headlight and ensure its stable use. 2. Other situations: Moisture in the air will enter the headlight through the ventilation tube and attach to the lampshade. As the moisture accumulates, water droplets will flow down the lampshade. This situation is mostly caused by large temperature differences and is most likely to occur in winter and during seasons with frequent rainfall. After the headlight has been on for a period of time, the fog will be discharged out of the headlight along with the hot air through the ventilation tube, which basically does not damage the headlight and electrical circuits.

As a frequent self-driving car owner, I've noticed that the vent holes for car headlights are typically located at the back or side corners of the headlight assembly. They function like small ventilation ports, designed to dissipate heat and balance air pressure, preventing fogging inside the lights that could impair visibility. During my own inspections, I usually pop the hood and crouch down to locate them - their exact position varies by vehicle model. For instance, they're quite visible at the rear of my old sedan, while my friend's SUV has them positioned higher but following the same principle. If these vents get clogged, the lens can become hazy, compromising nighttime driving safety. That's why I make it a habit to do a quick cleaning every quarter, using a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust. The vent design incorporates dust protection, but over time, debris still accumulates. Here's a handy tip: checking them right after a car wash is most efficient. Developing this simple maintenance routine can extend bulb life and save unnecessary repair costs. In short, spending just a few minutes on this crucial aspect makes all the difference.
