Car headlight modification starts with improving appearance and ends with safety

[ZOL Automotive Electronics] Cars are not just a means of transportation for young people, they are also used as a tool to attract fashion. Every car owner hopes that their car will be unique, handsome and stylish, and there are ways to quickly improve the appearance of the car. It is to modify the lights of the car. Whether the headlights or the rear tail lights are modified, not only the appearance is improved, but the safety is also greatly improved due to the improvement of the lighting effect. Therefore, the modification of car lights starts with the appearance and ends with the appearance. Safety.

Lighting modification methods mainly use xenon and LED light sources

Nowadays, when young people buy a new car, the first thing they do is to keep their "eyes" on their car and modify the lighting system. It can be called the first choice for car modification. Modify the original car's halogen lamps into xenon lamps. Now there are not only xenon lamps on the market. Lights, and LED light sources are available, including not only headlights, but also taillights and daytime running lights.

Car headlights

Modifying car lights is not only for fashion and personality, the most important thing is because modified car lights can increase the brightness of nighttime illumination, which can improve driving safety. Modified headlights can not only show personality and increase the rate of return, It also adds security, so why not?

I won’t go into too much detail about halogen light sources here. Let’s focus on the mainstream xenon lamps and LED lamps on the market to see what their advantages and disadvantages are.

Xenon headlights

Xenon lamp (High intensity Discharge) refers to the interior filled with a mixture of inert gases including xenon, referred to as HID xenon lamp, which can be called metal halide lamp or xenon lamp. Its light-emitting principle is through the starter and electronic ballast. Raising the voltage to over 23,000V, the high voltage breaks down the xenon gas, causing the xenon gas to form an arc between the two electrodes and emit light.

Advantages: Xenon lamps have no filament and have a long theoretical life. The service life of xenon lamps is equivalent to the entire operating time of the average car use cycle. It has high luminous efficiency. Our common 35W xenon lamps modified for cars are brighter than ordinary 100W light bulbs. a lot of.

Disadvantages: higher price, delayed lighting, and additional starter and electronic ballast required. The light-gathering performance is not good, and a lens is needed to help focus the light. This is why the xenon headlights we usually see have lenses.

LED headlight modification

LED (Light Emitting Diode) is a solid-state semiconductor device that can convert electrical energy into visible light. It can directly convert electricity into light.

Advantages: long life, high efficiency, low energy consumption, no delay in lighting, fast lighting response (nanosecond level). LED is small in size, simple in structure, good in earthquake resistance, good in light quality, and basically non-radiative. It is a green light source and is suitable for low-voltage work in automobiles.

Disadvantages: high cost, poor heat dissipation, need to add auxiliary heat dissipation device, no industry standard, product quality varies.

LED headlight

Editor's summary: It can be seen from the above analysis that halogen headlights have gradually withdrawn from the market, but the yellow light of halogen is a good light source for penetrating fog. It is better to use halogen light sources for fog lights on our cars. Xenon light sources can only be used in headlights due to the need to assist in increasing the ultra-high voltage. In addition to being used in headlights, LEDs are also a common light source for taillights and daytime running lights due to their nanosecond response speed.

Improving vehicle safety can start with modifying lights

Personalized vehicle modifications include small modifications, such as putting on a latte art, applying a solar film, modifying a car light, etc. They are simple and easy to carry out, do not affect the overall structure, improve the grade of the entire vehicle, and make your car more fashionable. personality. Modifying the lights will also improve driving safety to a certain extent.

2. Xenon headlight modification

Xenon headlights have high color temperature and strong penetration, which can improve the brightness of vehicle headlights and enhance driving safety on rainy days and at night. Common blue and white xenon lights can make the other driver feel dizzy when meeting another car, which is not humane enough. Vehicles modified with yellow xenon lamps avoid glaring conditions, improve the penetration effect in foggy weather, and improve driving safety.

3. Rear taillight modification

Modification of car taillights is even simpler. Just buy matching car taillights according to the car model, body color, etc., remove the old taillights, and install new ones. Taillights are generally modified to LED light sources to save power and reduce the battery life of the car. load, while increasing the brightness, improving the warning effect, and increasing safety.

Editor's summary: Car lighting system modification is a relatively simple and easy project for motor vehicle modification. Car owners with strong hands-on skills can complete it by themselves. There is almost no need to go to the vehicle management office to perform change registration and other cumbersome procedures. It is modified xenon headlights. If you fail the annual inspection, be careful to keep the original headlights and restore them to their original condition to successfully pass the annual inspection.
