Halogen headlights can be replaced after 3 years of use. Service life: Ordinary halogen car headlights typically have a service life of only 500 hours. Replacement cycle: With an average daily usage of 2.5 hours, the replacement cycle for headlights is 200 days. Headlights don't necessarily need to be replaced only when they stop working; they should be replaced when the brightness becomes insufficient or dim. Replacement recommendations: More expensive headlights aren't always better. You should choose models suitable for your vehicle. Additionally, xenon headlight modifications have strict requirements for the lighting system wiring. Poor-quality headlights have a short lifespan and cannot guarantee stable quality. High-quality headlights offer good light distribution and high brightness, while inferior ones lack sufficient brightness, poor focus, and short projection distance.

Why Does the Steering Wheel Feel Tight After a Wheel Alignment?

The reasons for the steering wheel feeling tight after the alignment are as follows: 1. Improper adjustment of the front wheel toe-in or an excessively large adjustment angle of the front wheel toe-in. 2. The installation of the vehicle's four wheels, steering mechanism, and front and rear axles should have a certain relative position. This relative position generally has standard values. If the adjustment is improper, the steering wheel may feel tight during driving. 3. Wheel alignment is not a routine maintenance task. It is a repair project aimed at addressing issues with the car's steering and suspension, ensuring better contact between the wheels and the ground, and improving the vehicle's stability. If the car is in good working condition, wheel alignment is not recommended. Wheel alignment is necessary only when replacing front shock absorbers, steering gears, lower control arms, or steering linkage ball joints, or after a front-end collision.

What is the normal voltage for a car battery?

The normal voltage of a car battery in a no-load state is around 13 volts. The load voltage should normally not be lower than 11 volts. If it falls below this voltage, starting the car may become difficult. After starting, as the alternator begins generating electricity, the normal voltage of the car battery should be between 13.5v and 14.5v. The battery is charged by the alternator during normal vehicle operation. However, if the vehicle is parked for an extended period, the battery can easily be depleted. This is because many vehicles are equipped with alarms that gradually drain the battery's power over time, eventually making it impossible to start the vehicle. Therefore, during long-term parking, it is advisable to start the vehicle at least once a week for more than 5 minutes to recharge the battery. Daily maintenance of car batteries: Use a damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the battery, cleaning off dust, oil stains, white powder, and other contaminants that may cause leakage on the panel and terminals (the positive and negative poles). Regularly cleaning the battery in this way prevents the accumulation of white acidic corrosion powder on the terminals, thereby extending the battery's service life.

How often should a car be driven?

New cars should be driven at least once a month, while used cars should be driven every half month to a month. 1. For new cars, they should be driven at least once a month because all components, including the battery, tires, engine oil, etc., are brand new and thus more wear-resistant compared to cars that have been used for several years. 2. For used cars, they should be driven at least every half month or even once a week. When a car remains idle for a long time, most of the lubricating oil that should be on the moving parts will flow back to the oil pan due to gravity, reducing lubrication in those areas. Additionally, tires that remain stationary for extended periods will develop noticeable deformation where they contact the ground, leading to poor dynamic balance, which can significantly impact the car.

How to Identify a Start-Stop Battery?

Start-stop batteries can be identified through the following methods: 1. Start-stop batteries can be distinguished by their appearance. They feature specific markings on the exterior, whereas ordinary batteries do not have such symbols. If the original battery is labeled with any of the following: ST, N55, Q85, S95, ISS, EFB, AGM, VRLA-BATTERY, start/stop, or 'for idle stop system vehicles,' it is a start-stop battery. 2. Start-stop batteries are heavier in weight compared to ordinary batteries. When shaken, there is no sound of liquid inside. Installing a regular lead-acid battery in a vehicle equipped with a start-stop system will shorten the battery's lifespan and introduce potential safety hazards during driving.
