How do I turn off automatic lights on my Honda Accord?

If you own a Honda Accord, you may have noticed that the vehicle's headlights and taillights can automatically turn on and off based on ambient light conditions. While this feature is designed for convenience and safety, there may be times when you want to manually control the lights. Here's how you can turn off the automatic lights on your Honda Accord.


Locating the Light Control Switch


The light control switch on a Honda Accord is typically located on the dashboard, near the steering wheel. It may be a rotary knob or a lever, depending on the model year of your vehicle. The switch will have several positions, including "Auto," "On," and "Off."


Disabling Automatic Lights



  • Locate the light control switch on your Honda Accord's dashboard.

  • Rotate the switch or move the lever to the "Off" position.

  • This will disable the automatic headlight and taillight function, allowing you to manually control the lights as needed.


By turning the light control switch to the "Off" position, you can now turn the lights on and off manually using the headlight and taillight controls on your vehicle.


Considerations


It's important to note that disabling the automatic lights may not be suitable for all driving conditions. In low-light situations or at night, it's generally recommended to keep the lights on for safety and visibility. Be mindful of your surroundings and adjust the lighting as needed to ensure a safe driving experience.


Additionally, some Honda Accord models may have additional lighting-related settings or features that can be adjusted through the vehicle's infotainment system or other controls. Consult your owner's manual or contact a Honda dealer for more information on your specific vehicle's lighting capabilities and customization options.
