Rule 17 is when a locomotive is stopped the headlight will dim to prevent blinding on coming traffic.

In Legacy there are 3 options. On/Off/Auto

You can toggle it on or off or push and hold the TOP icon and it will go into AUTO mode. This mean when the engine starts rolling the light will brighten. When it stops it will dim.
