I used to be able to turn off the headlights and use the side lights to reverse into my driveway in my previous Niro. I did this so my headlights wouldn't blindly shine into oncoming traffic or disturb my neighbor's sleep in their bedroom across the street. My driveway is sloping. Even with the motor turned off, the EV3's headlight switch will not respond to the commands to turn on the side lights or turn off the lights altogether. Can this be fixed in any way?

All vehicles manufactured after mid-2024 are required by EU law to have front and rear riding lights.

aren't they, riding lights?
Alan isn't attempting to sort that out.

It appears like a lot of motors hide the option to automatically switch on the headlights in the settings menu and then either don't let you or make it really hard to do it manually. I don't know if this is true for the EV3.

I have searched the lighting menu in vain for an option to turn on/off the headlights from the stalk. Right now, you'll get headlights regardless of whether you want them or not if you turn on the car and it's dark outside.

Using the rotary switch on the stalk, I am able to disable my headlights. When the setting is changed, it is also shown on the binnacle display at the same time.
With the switch turned off, the headlights are off, but the driving lights stay on.

turned off.

I am not able to make this work. The headlights remain on no matter which way I turn the stalk switch. Attached is a picture of the vehicle with the stalk switch turned off, but the headlights are apparently still turned on.

An upgrade, in my opinion, is to blame. As a second vehicle, we have recently purchased a Hyundai Inster. The lights will remain on indefinitely, as if you had accidentally left the switch in the "Auto" position and couldn't find the button to turn them off. To top it all off, I despise how, even when the sun is shining, the headlights come on when passing under trees. As a company, Hyundai and Kia are interchangeable. Even with manual control, my EV3 is still fine, but I can imagine that an over-the-air update will fix this. Another annoyance is that you can't switch to High Beam when the lights turn on automatically even when the switch is off. Once you switch to Auto, it's possible.

Like in the picture up top, mine won't turn off unless you put them in auto or on, at positions 4 and 2. The dash displays the message "headlights are off" whenever I enter a tunnel. At the back is where I would most like to make a change. As you approach dusk, it's ridiculous that the rear lights are off on DRLs. Is there a way to activate the rear lights when the daytime running lights are turned on? My EV9 and a friend's Passat both have the exact same thing...
