Does turning OFF the headlights of the car, save the fuel ???

Technically      YES   !!!


Headlights draw electricity from the battery, which is recharged by the alternator.



Alternator is powered by engine which runs using fuel  !!!!



But the amount of fuel saved is very small....



Its better to use LEDs instead of halogens for headlights.



LED bulbs use incredibly low power.  Turning these OFF virtually saves zero fuel.



More importantly,


KEEP THE HEADLIGHTS ON FOR SAFETY THAN FUEL SAVING    !!!!
