The function of car headlights
The main functions of car headlights both provide illumination and signal. Illumination is reflected in providing drivers with a clear view, ensuring that they can clearly see the road ahead, including road signs, obstacles, etc. at night or in low light conditions, thus ensuring driving safety .
The signal function is reflected in the change of lights to convey specific information to other vehicles and pedestrians, such as turn signals, brake lights, etc., to help other traffic participants understand the movement of the vehicle and reduce the occurrence of accidents .
The characteristics and functions of different types of headlights
Youdaoplaceholder0 Halogen headlights : They emit light by heating the filament with an electric current. They have low cost and good color rendering, but low brightness, high energy consumption and limited lifespan .
Youdaoplaceholder0 Xenon headlights : They emit light by ionizing xenon gas with a high-voltage current. They have high brightness and a wide illumination range, but they take time to start up, are expensive, and have complex installation and maintenance .
Youdaoplaceholder0 LED headlights : Small in size, low in energy consumption, high in brightness, fast in response, long in service life, and can achieve precise beam control through special design to avoid glare from oncoming vehicles and improve safety .
Technical parameters and standards of headlights
The technical parameters of the headlight include illumination distance, beam Angle, brightness, etc. According to the standard, the illumination distance of a car headlight should be greater than 100 meters to ensure that the driver can identify obstacles within 100 meters in front of the vehicle .
In addition, the headlights should be equipped with an anti-glare device to prevent oncoming vehicle drivers from being dazzled during night meeting.
Youdaoplaceholder0 Common causes and solutions of car headlight failure include the following:
Youdaoplaceholder0 Light control switch failure : The contacts inside the switch stick together or are damaged, preventing the circuit from being cut off and leaving the lights on all the time. The solution is to replace the light control switch with a new one .
Youdaoplaceholder0 Relay problem : The relay in the vehicle is responsible for controlling the on and off of the circuit. If the relay malfunctions, it may keep the headlight circuit on all the time. The relay needs to be replaced with .
Youdaoplaceholder0 Circuit problem : The circuit is aged, worn out or damaged by external force, causing the positive and negative terminals to come into contact, which prevents the headlights from turning off. A line fault needs to be checked and repaired .
Youdaoplaceholder0 Car computer system failure : The electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle malfunctions and mistakenly sends signals to keep the headlights constantly on. The solution is to use professional diagnostic equipment to inspect and repair the vehicle computer system .
Youdaoplaceholder0 Bulb failure : Failure of the bulb itself causes the headlights to fail to light up. The solution is to replace the bulb with a new one .
Youdaoplaceholder0 Broken fuse : A broken fuse can also cause headlights not to light up. The solution is to check and replace the fuse .
Youdaoplaceholder0 Short circuit or open circuit : A short circuit or open circuit problem in the line can cause the headlights to fail to light up or dim. The solution is to check and fix the line fault .
Youdaoplaceholder0 Low battery : Low battery can cause the headlights to flash frequently or not work properly. The solution is to charge the battery or replace it with a .
Youdaoplaceholder0 Loose wire connection : Loose wire connection can cause the headlight to flicker frequently or the bulb to burn out frequently. The solution is to check and tighten the wire connection .
Youdaoplaceholder0 Relay or combination switch contact ablation : Contact ablation makes the circuit unstable and causes the headlight to flicker frequently. The solution is to check and replace the faulty relay or combination switch .
Youdaoplaceholder0 Preventive and maintenance advice includes regularly checking the lighting system, keeping the vehicle battery fully charged, regularly replacing aging bulbs and fuses, and avoiding damage to circuits from external forces. In addition, avoid self-repair within warranty period. It is recommended to have the inspection and repair done at a professional lamp upgrade shop or 4S store to ensure the safety and normal use of the vehicle .
