After many of our friends buy a car, especially this entry-level car, they will find that the lights provided for us are so-called candle lights, which are what we often call halogen lights. Especially now that the lighting conditions in the city are better. When the lights are turned on at night, it seems to make no difference whether it is turned on or not. Therefore, friends often consult Brother Miao, saying that my lighting is too poor and I can’t see clearly when I go out at night. I want to change the lights. I want to change my lights, but today Brother Meow discovered that when many of my friends change their lights, they are confused about whether to change them to LED or xenon lights.
Let me tell you my point of view. First, let me talk about xenon lamps. Xenon lamps have been around for a long time, and their lamp modification solutions are also very mature, so if you drive out to change the lights, many places will give priority to recommending you use the xenon lamp modification solution, because the xenon lamp modification has been completed After that, it is relatively stable and reliable, and the after-sales service of this merchant is not so troublesome, so he will first recommend you to change the xenon lamp.
Although the brightness and high power consumption of xenon lamps are much better than our halogen lamps, they have a big disadvantage, that is, the voltage of the xenon lamp is relatively high, so it needs to wait to reach the maximum brightness after it is started. For a period of time, many people have adopted a lamp modification solution that integrates high and low beams with xenon lamps.
As you can see, after the xenon lamp is turned on, the bulb always switches between high beam and low beam. It relies on the movement of the small iron piece in the middle. The small iron piece falls down to block the upper part of the light. , it becomes a low beam light; when the small iron piece pops up and releases the upper part, it becomes a high beam light. This modification solves the problem of light intensity when we need to use high and low beams alternately on the road. However, with the popularity of LED headlights in recent years, many friends prefer LED to xenon.
Why is the power consumption of LEDs better and lower than that of xenon lamps? The most important thing is that LED startup is not the same as xenon lamps. It requires a process to reach maximum brightness. In terms of reaching maximum brightness as soon as it is started, LED has obvious advantages over xenon in terms of power consumption and response time. But LED has a big shortcoming, that is, it generates a lot of heat. Although LED is a cold light source, the lamp holder of the LED lamp will generate heat when it is lit, and the heat is very large, so it is difficult to modify the LED. Need to be equipped with good heat dissipation.
If the heat dissipation is not good, the attenuation of the LED will be very severe. Based on the characteristics of xenon lamps and LEDs, Brother Miao recommends that when you modify the lamp, if you adopt a low-cost lamp modification solution, you just modify the bulb and add a lens. This is a lossy modification method. It is recommended that you directly modify the xenon lamp instead of the LED, because this lossy modification method may not be able to control the heat generated by the LED in many places where the lamp is modified, which will lead to a lot of subsequent use. trouble. If you want to change the LED lights, Brother Miao recommends that you don’t do any damage to the lights. It is best to directly replace the assembly and replace the entire headlight.
This modification method of directly replacing the assembly is simpler and does not require destroying your original car lights. You only need to dismantle it completely, then buy an LED light set and replace it directly. Since all the heat dissipation paths are designed for you when this assembly is produced in the factory, it will be relatively more stable than this lossy modification method.
It's just a modification method of replacing the assembly. Compared with the lossy modification method of changing xenon, its cost may be slightly higher. But in the end, Brother Miao reminds everyone again that whether you are changing to xenon or LED, the room temperature should not be too high. It is recommended that the room temperature should not exceed 6,000 K. At the same time, if you change the lamp, you must add a lens, because if you don’t add a lens, the light will be very scattered and the effect will be very poor. It will not only affect yourself but also others. The most important thing is that when you inspected it last year, the light was too scattered. If you can't focus, you may not be able to pass the annual inspection.
