Show me, tell me question - headlights and tail lights

< Previous question    Introduction    Next question >

"Tell me how you would check that the headlights & tail lights are working."

An explanation is all that is required for this question.

Tell the examiner that you would switch the lights on, and walk round the car and check the lights are working.

The front headlights and the small parking lights (sometimes called sidelights) are shown here:

The tail-lights are shown below - note the two lights which shine down on the number plate. It's worth mentioning these to the examiner.

• Check your lights often! How else will you know if you have a bulb gone? Carry spare bulbs in your car. You can buy a set from car accessory stores. Look in your car manual and see if you could change a bulb.
