Turkish term or phrase: selektör yapmak

This is about using the dimlight but in combination with 'yaparak' is this a one time or repeated action?

selektör yaparak=while flashing high beams OR by flashing high beams. I would understand that it is one time action unless there are more clues implying that it was repeated such as "tekrar tekrar selektör yaparak = while flashing high beams again and again".
