Car loving small class: teach you to carry out comprehensive maintenance of lights

Headlights, like the eyes of a car, show the driver's intention. Especially in the dark night, they can also point out the direction for you. Therefore, it is very important to maintain the car's eyes. It is an extremely fast and simple work to check the bulb burn out fault of exterior lamps. However, the overall and systematic maintenance of exterior lamps is not so simple. Timely maintenance of exterior lamps is very important for drivers, because it not only affects the driving comfort, but also directly related to the driving safety. Usually, before being reminded, it is difficult for car owners to realize that the headlights, tail lights, cornering lights or parking lights can no longer work normally.
Reasons for brightness reduction
Whether the headlamp or rear headlamp is not on, it indicates that the bulb has been burned and must be replaced. However, if it is not completely broken, it is only the brightness is reduced, and the light is red and dim, which can not 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 reason is that there is dust on the astigmatic glass or reflector of the lamp. At this time, all you need to do is to remove the dirt with flannelette or lens paper. Another reason is that the charging capacity of the battery decreases and the brightness is not enough due to insufficient power. In this case, a new battery needs to be replaced. Another possibility is that the line is aging or the wire is too thin, resulting in an increase in resistance, which will affect the power supply. This situation will not only affect the work of the bulb, but even lead to overheating of the line and fire.
Use of various lamps
Headlights: Generally speaking, friends who often drive late at night should consider replacing a pair of headlights with higher brightness. In this way, in the dark night, enough brightness can help you see all the details of the road, and when driving the high beam, you can see farther. If conditions permit, you can even replace a pair of xenon headlights. Xenon headlights not only have sufficient brightness and long service life, but also have a feature: the color temperature is very high, and the color temperature close to the sunlight is also a kind of protection for the driver's eyes.
Tail lamp: don't underestimate the tail lamp. If the tail lamp fails, it is very easy to cause rear end collision accidents. Generally speaking, as long as it is not a fault, there are not many options for upgrading the tail lamp. In addition to installing a transparent lamp shell to increase the viewing, it is a good choice to replace the traditional bulb with LED illuminant. The led not only increases the brightness, but also shortens the response time compared with the traditional bulb, which means that when you step on the brake pedal, the LED brake lamp can light earlier than the ordinary bulb, Allow more preparation time for trailing vehicles.
Fog lamp: fog lamp is also known as spotlight. As the name suggests, the main purpose of the fog lamp is to ensure the driver's line of sight in bad weather and ensure that others can see you. At present, many manufacturers install the fog lamp only to make the front bumper more beautiful, so the quality of the selected fog lamp is relatively low. Like headlights, in addition to replacing fog lamps with sufficient brightness, it is also a good choice to choose a HID xenon fog lamp.
Reversing headlights: reversing at night is really a headache, especially for drivers with poor eyesight. The weak light of the original reversing lights really doesn't help much. At this time, you need a pair of reversing rear headlamp, which is an independent lamp installed in the middle or below the rear bumper. It will light up automatically after you put into reverse gear. Its powerful brightness makes you no longer have to worry about reversing at night.
