Automobile headlights, commonly known as "headlights.". The "soul" of headlight is its light bulb. Its performance will affect the effect of night lighting, directly related to driving safety.

The service life of ordinary halogen headlamp is about 4 to 6 years. It depends on the night you drive and the time you use the headlights (day or night). HID light bulbs have no filament, so they have a longer life (10 years or more), while LED headlights have no filament or glass bulb, and will last tens of thousands of hours, which is usually the life of the vehicle.

Of course, no matter what type of bulb, its basic maintenance knowledge is almost the same.

Replace it after driving for about 2 years

The headlight bulb needs to be replaced regularly. Generally speaking, in about two years, the brightness of the headlamp bulb will be reduced

As long as the front headlight or rear headlight is not on, it means that the bulb has been burnt out and must be replaced. But if it doesn't break down completely, it's just that the brightness is reduced, the light is red and dim, and it can't be taken lightly, because this may be the precursor of failure, and the reduced lighting capacity is also a major hidden danger for safe driving.

There are several reasons for the decrease of brightness. The most common one is that there is dust on the astigmatic glass or mirror of the lamp. What we need to do at this time is to use flannelette or lens paper to clean the dirt. Another reason is that the battery's charging capacity is reduced, and the battery's brightness is insufficient due to the lack of power. In this case, a new battery needs to be replaced. If it's not these problems, it must be the light power supply line system that causes the voltage instability. You must go to the maintenance shop for timely repair.

Do not use inferior bulbs

1. Bulb models of different models are also different. If you want to change the headlights, you need to see the model introduction of the headlights in the car manual. If you don't want to see the headlights, you can consult the headlight manufacturer or the Refitting Factory, as well as the sales staff, who will know the bulb models of the mainstream models.

2. Poor bulb has a short service life and cannot guarantee stable quality. But the poor light bulb brightness is insufficient, when overtaking, it will make the driver prone to accidents. In addition, due to the poor sealing of low-quality lamps, in case of severe rain, it will cause short circuit and fire.

3. It is better for the owner not to adjust the lights, especially the high-grade cars. Some cars' headlights have the follow-up steering function, and do not try to adjust themselves easily.
