What it means
This indicator shows that the dipped-beam headlights are switched on. Green is informational, though the symbol or colour may vary by manufacturer; check the owner's manual for the vehicle's indicator meanings.
What the symbol looks like: A green headlamp symbol with short beams angled downward.
Why it comes on
- The driver switched on dipped-beam headlights.
- The automatic lighting system turned them on.
- The vehicle's lighting control is set to headlights.
What to do
- Check that both dipped-beam headlights are working.
- Use dipped beams when visibility or local rules require them.
- Use high beams only when appropriate and dip them for other road users.
- If the indicator does not match the lights' operation, check the owner's manual or arrange an inspection.
Can I keep driving?
You can drive with dipped beams on; they are intended for ordinary nighttime use and reduced visibility. Check that both lamps work and avoid relying on daytime running lights when headlights are required.
Symbols and colours differ between makes and models. Your owner’s manual shows the exact lights of your car.
