What should you do if your vehicle's headlights fail while driving at night?

Continue driving with the parking lights on.
Turn on the hazard lights and proceed with caution.
Pull over and stop until the headlights are repaired.
Use high beam headlights temporarily.

The correct answer is: Pull over and stop until the headlights are repaired.

Driving at night without proper headlights is extremely dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. Ignoring the issue and continuing to drive with only parking lights or high beams not only puts yourself at risk, but also endangers other drivers on the road. Therefore, option C is the best and safest choice. Option A is incorrect because parking lights do not provide sufficient lighting for safe driving. Option B is also incorrect because while hazard lights can alert other drivers to your presence, they do not provide enough light to safely navigate the road. Option D is also incorrect as using high beam headlights for an extended period of time can blind other drivers and potentially cause accidents. It is always best to pull over and stop until the issue is resolved to ensure the safety of yourself and others on the road.
