While most automotive interiors vary in design and the placement of crucial car controls, the light switches usually stay in a similar place. Oftentimes, you can find the light controls right near the steering wheel. Specifically, it's usually found on the lower side of the dash, between the steering wheel and the driver-side front doors. Although, it can sometimes move to other parts of the dashboard, placed on a distinct panel, or through a row of dials and switches. Through these light controls, you can turn on and off the headlights, among other lighting units on your car. In some newer cars, the headlights even turn on and off automatically.
