Installing additional lights without major modifications can pass the annual inspection. Chinese regulations classify the annual inspection of vehicle lights into the following categories: 1. First is the appearance inspection, where the inspector visually checks the vehicle for any unauthorized modifications. As long as the modifications are not excessive, they are generally acceptable. 2. Next is the instrument inspection on the testing line, which mainly focuses on the following aspects of the lights: 1. The color temperature must not exceed 6000K. The testing equipment can only detect light sources with a color temperature below 6000K. 2. Light scattering: The Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that "vehicle lighting must not affect other road users." 3. Insufficient brightness: During the inspection, the requirement for low-beam headlights is that they must not be less than 1200 lumens. There is only a lower limit for brightness, not an upper limit. This means no matter how bright your headlights are, as long as they do not scatter, it is acceptable.

Where is the location of the spark plug on the Baojun 730?

Location of the spark plug on the Baojun 730: The spark plug is installed on the side or top of the engine. In earlier models, spark plugs were connected to the distributor via ignition cables, but over the past decade, most car engines have been modified to connect the ignition coil directly to the spark plug. How the spark plug works: The ground electrode of the spark plug is connected to the metal shell, which is threaded into the engine block via the cylinder head. The insulator primarily serves to isolate the metal shell from the central electrode. The terminal nut is the part of the spark plug that contacts the high-voltage coil. When current passes through the terminal nut and the central electrode, it ionizes the medium between the central electrode and the ground electrode, generating a spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder.

How to Turn on the Fog Lights of the Tiguan?

Tiguan's fog light switch is located on the lighting assembly to the left of the steering wheel. You can turn the fog lights on or off by rotating the switch. The front fog lights of the Tiguan feature an integrated design of the lamp cover and housing, meaning the cover cannot be replaced separately—only the entire fog light assembly can be replaced. If you need to replace the fog light cover, follow these steps to remove the fog light: 1. Use a flat-head screwdriver to pry from the back of the fog light grille, releasing the clips inside. Then, use the screwdriver to pry the clips securing the grille to the front bumper from the front gap. Once all clips are released, remove the fog light grille. 2. Remove the two screws fixing the fog light in place. 3. After removing the screws, the fog light is secured by two tabs inserted into the bumper's clip holes. Hold the area where the screws were removed and gently pull upwards to detach the front fog light.
