Car halogen lights can be replaced with LED lights, but it should be noted that the focal points of the reflector bowl and lens of the original halogen bulbs are different from those of LED lights. The light beam formed by LED lights is not uniform, and depending on the quality of the product, LED lights with poor heat dissipation and constant current effects will have relatively poor lighting performance. Moreover, improper heat dissipation of the lights can significantly impact the vehicle itself. Replacing halogen lights with LED lights is not illegal, but if LED lights are installed without adding a lens, the vehicle may not pass the annual inspection. Additionally, switching from halogen to LED lights without a lens can cause severe light scattering, which can dazzle oncoming drivers at night and result in extremely poor lighting performance. Therefore, if you switch to LED lights, it is essential to install a lens.

What to do with the original ETC when changing cars?

When changing cars, you can remove the original ETC reader from the old car. Then, bring the ETC card, your original ID card, the new car's vehicle license, and the relevant documents for both the old and new cars to the bank branch where the ETC card was issued to complete the transfer procedure. Ask the ETC staff to reinstall the device, input the new license plate information, and perform the installation and scanning activation. ETC is an electronic toll collection system, also known as an automatic road toll system. It is a road toll method specifically designed for toll roads, commonly seen on highways, bridges or tunnels with toll policies, and some sections of urban centers to alleviate traffic congestion.

What are the disadvantages of a car sunroof?

Disadvantages of a car sunroof: 1. Prone to abnormal noises. Many car models experience sunroof rattling, which may be due to assembly quality issues; 2. Unsafe from falling objects. If a car with a sunroof is parked under a building and a heavy object falls on it, the sunroof may shatter, causing injury to occupants; 3. Sunroofs tend to accumulate dust. The settled dust needs to be cleaned, otherwise it can obstruct visibility; 4. Reduced body rigidity safety coefficient. During an accident, when the vehicle is side-impacted or rolls over, the B-pillar—which plays a crucial role in body rigidity—is tested. The B-pillar runs circularly through the central area of the car body, where the sunroof is located. Some sunroofs, designed for larger size and aesthetics, minimize the roof longitudinal beams along the B-pillar. This makes the car body more susceptible to deformation under side impacts or rollovers.

What's the Difference Between Adding Water and Antifreeze to the Radiator?

The difference between adding water and antifreeze to the radiator lies in their effects: adding water can corrode the radiator, produce scale, impair normal heat dissipation, and shorten the radiator's lifespan. Additionally, water can freeze below zero degrees, potentially damaging the radiator. In contrast, adding antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing when the vehicle is parked in cold weather, avoiding the risks of cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block. The radiator is a key component of the car's cooling system, also known as the heat exchanger. Antifreeze is a coolant with special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance features such as freeze protection in winter, boil-over prevention in summer, and year-round protection against scale and corrosion.

How to Determine the Appropriate Gasoline Grade for Your Car

Methods to determine the appropriate gasoline grade for your car: 1. Refer to the car's user manual, which records the recommended gasoline grade for the car; 2. The fuel cap will indicate the fuel grade, recommending the owner to use a certain grade of gasoline, and which grade is optimal. Generally, engines with a compression ratio between 7.5 and 8.0 should use 90 to 93 octane gasoline; those between 8.0 and 8.5 should use 90 to 93 octane gasoline; those between 8.5 and 9.0 should use 93 to 95 octane gasoline; and those between 9.5 and 10.0 should use 95 to 97 octane gasoline.

What type of engine oil is suitable for the Outlander?

The Outlander uses engine oil with the specification 0W20. The 'W' stands for 'winter,' indicating its suitability for winter use. The number before the 'W' represents the viscosity at low temperatures, with a smaller number indicating better fluidity and cold resistance. The '20' refers to the viscosity at 100 degrees Celsius, where a higher number indicates greater viscosity and better high-temperature resistance. The Outlander is a 7-seater SUV model under Mitsubishi. In terms of appearance, its front end appears robust, with an inverted triangular bulge on the engine hood extending down to the top of the bumper, dividing the front air intake into two parts. The slightly protruding design of the lower body gives it a full and substantial look.
