How much do you know about the three main categories of car light modification?

【Knowledge of Car Owners】The modification of headlights has always been a popular topic in the modification industry. Modification of car lights is nothing more than three points: see the dark road clearly, improve the safety of night driving, reduce the difficulty of night driving; increase the life of the car lights, reduce the occurrence of car light failures; make the car cooler and more personalized, different. I think most car enthusiasts still pay special attention to the third point in their hearts.

The modification of the headlights is also divided into three levels;

Primary modification:White light halogen bulb and high-power halogen bulb modification cost: 60-300 yuan Modification effect: not obvious

Intermediate modification:Xenon-filled light bulb modification cost: 300-800 yuan modification effect: general

Top mods:hid xenon lamp modification cost: 2000-10000 yuan modification effect: excellent

There are three main parts of refitting xenon lamp:

• Swap Halogen Bulbs for Xenon Bulbs

advantage:Since xenon bulbs suitable for H7, H4, H3, H1, HB3, HB4 and other halogen bulbs have been launched on the market, almost all car models can be applied.

shortcoming:On the one hand, because the size and size of the xenon bulb and the original halogen bulb are not the same, the light-emitting part must deviate from the focus position, which will cause serious negative effects such as non-focusing and no correct high-beam function of the car lights, and even lead to The chance of being dazzled by a car will increase hundreds of times. On the other hand, due to the change of the original car's circuit, once a product quality problem occurs, it is likely to cause a short circuit and fire.

• Replace the headlight assembly

advantage:This modification method mainly uses the original xenon headlights, that is, the xenon light source cooperates with the light distribution mirror and reflector specially designed for it, so it becomes the most ideal modification method.

shortcoming:expensive.

• Install xenon auxiliary lights on the front or roof

advantage:This kind of modification is relatively flexible. Users can choose suitable products according to the shape of the front wall of the vehicle and their own preferences, and choose a reasonable installation location for installation to meet individual needs. Xenon auxiliary lights are mainly high beam lights, and the outer diameter is generally as small as 80-90 mm and as large as 200 mm, which are suitable for different models such as trucks, off-road vehicles, and cars.

shortcoming:There are certain size requirements for the front bumper and grille of the vehicle, which need to be carefully measured before modification.

Many car enthusiasts blindly pursue coolness and personality, and fall into the misunderstanding of modification. In fact, the brighter the headlights, the better.

I mistakenly thought that the brighter the bulb, the better, so I modified the car light. There are two specific methods: increasing the power of the original car bulbs and modifying the xenon headlights. However, these methods also have risks to varying degrees.

As the wattage of the bulb increases, the current and heat will increase exponentially, which will easily lead to the aging of the lamp and the accelerated melting of the lamp head, and will also bring an excessive burden to the generator, fuse, and battery. Many vehicles that spontaneously ignite are caused by this power-increasing modification. Therefore, basically lighting experts do not recommend that you use this method to brighten your car lights. At present, there is an upgraded halogen bulb with normal power (55W-60W) on the market, such as Philips Jijinguang and Yejiguang car lights, which are high-brightness bulbs produced through high-tech technology without changing the power. It is worth noting that another advantage of these bulbs is that they fully comply with national regulations and will not cause obstacles to the other party's driving.

There are also hidden dangers in the modification of xenon headlights. Xenon lamp is actually just a general term, because on the market, the HID from the domestic price of 1,500 yuan to the imported HID of tens of thousands of yuan are all called xenon lamps, but the quality varies. The low-cost high-voltage package and refitted wire group have largely damaged the original lamps and electrical systems. In addition, due to the high illumination intensity of the xenon lamp, the scattered high-brightness light is likely to cause traffic accidents. Therefore, for car owners with high brightness requirements, it is usually recommended to use upgraded halogen bulbs or select quality-guaranteed brand xenon headlight combination kits.

In addition, considering that many young people prefer white light, and suffer from the unaffordable price of regular brand xenon headlights, many international brands have launched white light-type upgraded halogen bulbs in the Chinese market. In comparison, the color, brightness and lifespan have been greatly improved, and the price is far lower than that of xenon headlights. More than 80% cheaper, economical and elegant, thus becoming the new favorite of young car owners.
