it depends on the make, model and year of the car
how do you turn on high beams on 1979 corvette
Your headlights turn off when you turn the high beams on because you have a defective switch. You need to have a mechanic replace the high beams switch. It is a simple replacement.
You need to turn your high beams down and ,after the car passes, you may turn them back to high beams
Take your car in to have it checked. Turn signals should work without high beams.
Should be like any other vehicle. (pull turn signal stick back (high beams on), pull it back again (high beams off).
Pull back on the turn signal lever to change from high beams to low beams If the turn signal lever is pushed forward the high beams stay on and if the turn signal lever is pulled back all the way that is the " flash to pass " feature
It's possible that when you turn your blinker on you are inadvertently pushing the lever forward causing your high beams to come on and stay on.
high beams!
they had to use ropes
The rule of the road is to flash your high beams to remind them to turn their high beams off.
The switch assembly is probably worn out and malfunctioning.
It could mean, turn off your high beams.
