How to tell if your car lights need to be replaced?
Symptom 1: Light failure occurs
Diagnosis 1: As the car lights are used, the brightness of the bulb will gradually decrease, causing light decay.
Solution: Therefore, it is recommended that once the car lights are dimmed, the bulbs should be replaced in time. Do not wait until they are broken before replacing them to avoid traffic accidents caused by the dimmed car lights.
Symptom 2: The glass shell blackens, weakening the light output
Diagnosis 2: The tungsten atoms of the incandescent bulb are deposited on the glass shell, causing the bulb to become black.
Solution: If similar problems are found, we recommend replacing the car light bulbs in time.
Symptom 3: The bulb is damaged and does not light up
Diagnosis 3: The car lights have been used for too long, the bulbs have reached their service life and are damaged.
Solution: We recommend replacing car light bulbs promptly.
In addition, in order to improve the lighting system of their cars, many car owners upgrade their car lights.
How to upgrade your car lighting system?
Lighting upgrade mainly refers to the upgrade of car light bulbs. Methods include upgrading halogen bulbs for headlights, upgrading xenon headlights for headlights, upgrading signal daytime running lights, upgrading signal width lights, etc.
1. Headlight upgrade: There are two main ways. One is to use white light or extremely bright halogen bulbs to replace and upgrade the original ordinary halogen bulbs; the other is to use xenon headlights to modify and upgrade the original ordinary halogen bulbs.
Due to cost considerations, most original headlight bulbs are ordinary halogen bulbs. The color temperature is generally around 3000K, the lighting color is generally red and yellow, and the visual effect and illumination distance are average. So, upgrades and modifications came into being.
Using white light halogen bulbs can increase the color temperature of the light. For example, the color temperature of Philips Silver Warrior can reach 4300K. The lighting color is generally white, which greatly improves the visual effect and brightness. Using extremely bright halogen bulbs can increase the irradiation distance, generally by about 50%. Using xenon headlights to modify and upgrade headlights can simultaneously increase the color temperature and irradiation range, and is the ultimate solution for upgrading the headlight model.
2. Signal light upgrade: mainly refers to upgrading original ordinary signal light bulbs with LED or blue light bulbs. Mainly include the upgrade of width indicator lights and modification of daytime running lights.
Upgrading the width indicator lights can improve the decorative visual effect. Daytime running lights are used for front-mounted installations on cars to remind the car ahead to pay attention. They can mainly improve the decorative effect and safety effect. Currently, they are generally LED daytime running lights.
