Car headlights, commonly known as "headlights", due to the lighting work of night driving, it can be said that headlights are equivalent to the eyes of the car. As the saying goes, "the eye is the window of the soul," it can be seen that its importance, the care of the eye everyone knows to start from usual, the maintenance of headlights is the same.
"Eye care" the first trick: do not use inferior light bulbs.
The "soul" of the headlamp is its bulb, and its performance will affect the effect of night lighting, which is directly related to driving safety. Therefore, high quality headlight bulbs should be used to fully ensure safety. What are the dangers of using inferior light bulbs?
First of all, naturally, the life of inferior bulbs is short, and stable quality cannot be guaranteed.
Secondly, the high-quality light distribution of the light bulb is good, high brightness, while the inferior light bulb is insufficient, focusing is not focused, and the range is close, when overtaking, the driver will have an optical illusion and is prone to accidents. In addition, poor quality lamps due to the poor seal, rainy days or car wash easy water, will make the lamp fog, serious will cause short circuit fire. Therefore, do not consider inferior bulbs when modifying headlights or replacing them due to damage.
The second trick of "eye care" : daily maintenance should be done well.
According to the different principles of light, headlamp bulbs can be divided into several types such as vacuum lamps, halogen lamps and xenon lamps. Vacuum lamps and halogen lamps are cheap and commonly used, but their life is short, usually several hundred hours. Xenon lamp service life can reach 2500~3000 hours, and the lighting effect is better, but the price is higher. Of course, no matter what type of light bulb, its basic maintenance knowledge is similar. Just as the oil filter needs to be replaced during regular maintenance, the headlight bulb also needs to be replaced regularly. Generally speaking, every 50,000 kilometers or about 2 years, the brightness of the headlamp bulb will weaken, at this time it is best to go to the 4S shop for testing, if there is a lack of brightness, then it is recommended to replace the bulb, it is recommended to replace the left and right sides at the same time, so as to avoid the situation of different brightness on both sides. Because I did not replace the light bulb in time after the brightness decreased, resulting in a waste of time during the annual inspection.
