As an important part of automobile function and the finishing touch of body shape, the lamp"s most basic function, safety, is often ignored by some car owners. Many countries, such as Sweden and Canada, have regulations that lights must be turned on when driving in the daytime. According to statistics, 60% of traffic accidents are caused by unclear vision. Therefore, many high-end luxury cars and European cars regard automatic headlights as an important and basic active safety configuration. The quality of automobile lighting directly affects the driving safety, so the maintenance of vehicle lighting equipment is particularly important, and how to maintain automobile lighting?

The first move: do not use inferior light bulbs.

The "soul" of headlight is its light bulb. Its performance will affect the effect of night lighting, directly related to driving safety. Therefore, it is necessary to use high-quality headlight bulbs to ensure safety. What"s the harm of using inferior light bulb? First of all, the service life of inferior light bulb is too short to guarantee stable quality. Secondly, the high-quality bulb has good light distribution and high brightness, while the low-quality bulb lacks brightness, focusing is not concentrated and has a short range. When overtaking, the driver will have an optical illusion and be prone to accidents. In addition, due to the poor sealing of low-quality lamps, it is easy to get water in rainy days or when washing the car, which will cause fog in the lamps and even cause short circuit and fire in serious cases.

Therefore, do not consider inferior bulbs when refitting headlights or replacing them due to damage.

Second, daily maintenance should be done well.

According to the different luminous principles, headlight bulbs can be divided into vacuum lamp, halogen lamp and xenon lamp. Vacuum lamp and halogen lamp are cheap and widely used, but their service life is short, generally hundreds of hours. The service life of xenon lamp can reach 2500-3000 hours, and the lighting effect is better, but the price is higher. Of course, no matter what type of bulb, its basic maintenance knowledge is almost the same.

As the oil filter needs to be changed during regular maintenance, the headlight bulb needs to be changed regularly. Generally speaking, the brightness of headlight bulb will be weakened every 50000 km or 2 years. At this time, it"s better to check at 4S shop. If there is insufficient brightness, it is recommended to replace the bulb, and it is recommended to replace both sides at the same time, so as to avoid different brightness on both sides. I didn"t replace the bulb in time after the brightness of the bulb weakened, which led to a waste of time in the annual inspection.

The third way: adjust the lights by yourself.

During the annual inspection of the vehicle, it will check whether the position of the light beam is correct. The correct beam position will make the vision clearer and driving safer. In fact, when there is a problem with the lights, you don"t have to go to the 4S store to adjust them. It"s easy and fun to do it yourself.

Do it yourself Trilogy

The first step is to choose a dark environment, such as an underground parking lot or at night, and park the car head facing a wall, and try to align the car head with the wall as far as possible, with a distance of about 5 or 6 meters;

The second step is to turn on the lights, cover a light with a thick opaque cloth, and adjust each headlight separately. In order to ensure that the position of the light beam is in the normal driving position, it is better not to let the vehicle empty, you can find a friend to sit in the driver"s seat;

The third step is to make a mark on the center of the light range of the wall with a marker or chalk, and at the same time make a mark on the wall corresponding to the position of the car logo (front center).

Measure the distance between the lamp marks on both sides and the center position respectively, and the two distances shall be equal. In case of outward or inward deviation, please refer to the vehicle operation manual, and use a screwdriver to make slight adjustment so that the positions of the two lamps are symmetrical;

Step 4: adjust the height of the light beam. The right side light should be directed horizontally, and the left side light should be raised about 10cm, but do not adjust it too high, so as not to direct the light into the eyes of the oncoming driver. However, the right side lamp can be tilted to the right to improve the visibility of the right side of the vehicle.

summary

Now the most talked about word is probably "haze". Because the frequent haze weather brings great inconvenience to people"s daily travel, the importance of lights is particularly obvious.
