Functionality light switch
The light switch controls the individual functions of the lighting system. Normally, the dipped beam can be switched on or the parking light can be switched on via a rotary switch. In vehicles that have an automatic light system, the light switch can of course also be used to switch on the automatic light system.
The fog lights and rear fog lights are often controlled via a separate switch. In addition, depending on the equipment, the height adjustment of the light is integrated into the main light switch. In the case of halogen headlights, the height of the low beam is adjusted via a knurled wheel.
