The headlights of Volkswagen Santana Zhijun can be replaced with LED lights. The original headlights of Santana Zhijun are standard halogen headlights. The front headlights include low beam and high beam, which can be upgraded to LED lights; they also include turn signals and position lights. Below are the related details: Benefits of replacing headlights with LED lights: Long lifespan: Lasting 50,000 to 100,000 hours, generally requiring no replacement during the vehicle's lifetime; Cost-saving: Original bulbs are incandescent, consuming 21 watts each, while LED lights consume only 1 watt; Avoid fines: Due to the ultra-long lifespan of LEDs, the risk of receiving fines due to sudden bulb failure is eliminated; Circuit safety: The current in the vehicle's lighting circuit reduces from over ten amperes to less than one ampere, significantly lowering the risk of circuit fires. Introduction to car headlights: Car headlights include high beam and low beam, both designed to illuminate the road ahead. The difference lies in their range—one illuminates a shorter distance, while the other reaches farther. Typically, low beams illuminate a distance of about 30-40 meters with a coverage of approximately 160 degrees, whereas high beams focus the light more intensely, providing brighter and longer-range illumination.

I recently replaced my car's headlights with LED ones and found it completely feasible, the key is choosing the right product. The Zhijun's original lights might be halogen bulbs, switching to LED makes the light brighter and more energy-efficient, greatly improving nighttime driving visibility. I used vehicle-specific LED bulbs, costing less than 200 yuan for a pair, which can be bought online. Installation is simple: first turn off the power, unscrew the old bulb cap, plug in the new LED bulb, just make sure not to reverse the polarity. Remember to add a small fan heatsink to avoid overheating damage, otherwise the bulbs won't last long. After the modification, I specifically tested it by driving and encountered no glare or warning light issues - feels like a worthwhile upgrade. I'd suggest checking local regulations too, avoid using overly dazzling bulbs that might disturb other drivers.

What are the reasons for a car's air conditioner not cooling?

Reasons for a car's air conditioner not cooling: 1. Blockage in the receiver-drier, expansion valve screen, pipelines, or hoses; 2. Issues with the refrigerant, such as insufficient amount or complete depletion leading to no cooling; 3. The compressor drive belt being too loose, broken, having poor sealing, or the electromagnetic clutch being damaged—a loose belt will slip and fail to transmit power properly; 4. Blown fuse or short circuit in the electrical system; 5. Damage to the blower switch, blower, or other electrical components; 6. The condenser being too dirty—accumulated dust over time reduces cooling efficiency. When using the car's air conditioner, it's important to pay attention to its maintenance. Regularly turning the fan to high speed can help blow out dust from the inner surfaces of the air ducts to prevent blockages.
