Where is the Original Headlight Number Located?

The original headlight number is generally located at the bottom left or bottom right corner of the headlight. Below are introductions to several types of lights: 1. Daytime Running Lights (DRL): Daytime running lights are not used for illumination but primarily to make other drivers aware of your presence. Therefore, their light effect resembles sunlight reflection. They are usually designed above or below the headlights, and the light area is relatively small. 2. Low Beam: The low beam is the most commonly used light, serving mainly for illumination and also to alert other drivers. It is designed in the central area of the headlight. 3. Position Lights (Marker Lights): Position lights are also a type of warning light, typically located on the side edges of the vehicle. Their main purpose is to inform others of your car's width, but they are generally not used alone. When the low beam is turned on, the position lights automatically activate. 4. Brake Lights: Brake lights activate when the driver applies the brakes and are considered a type of warning light. They are primarily designed at the rear of the car and illuminate in red when braking, serving to alert following vehicles to avoid rear-end collisions.

What parts need maintenance after a car runs 50,000 kilometers?

After a car runs 50,000 kilometers, the main parts that require maintenance are the brake pads, filters, tires, and spark plugs. Below is a detailed introduction about these four parts: 1. Brake Pads: Generally, after a vehicle has traveled 50,000 kilometers, it is necessary to promptly check the thickness of the brake pads. This is because during the driving process, brake pads are highly susceptible to damage. 2. Filters: The oil filter typically needs to be replaced every 5,000 kilometers. The air filter usually requires replacement every 10,000 kilometers. If the vehicle is frequently used in dusty environments, an air gun can be used to blow away debris after 5,000 kilometers. 3. Tires: During major vehicle maintenance, apart from regular oil changes, other fluids such as antifreeze, brake fluid, and transmission fluid also fall under the replacement scope. After a car has traveled 50,000 kilometers, the tire wear should be checked. Tires should be replaced promptly when they approach the wear indicator. 4. Spark Plugs: Generally, after a vehicle has traveled 50,000 kilometers, spark plugs may accumulate varying degrees of carbon deposits due to different conditions. Carbon deposit aging can easily lead to ignition difficulties, increased car noise, and insufficient engine power.

What are the types of rear suspension in cars?

There are two types of rear suspension, namely the link type and the swing arm type. The rear suspension is the connecting device between the car body and the wheels, and the comfort of the car depends on the suspension. The car suspension consists of elastic elements, shock absorbers, and force transmission devices. Because the rear suspension plays an important role, there are more types of rear suspension systems than front suspension systems. The link-type rear suspension is used together with the left and right integrated rear axle. In the past, car technology was not very advanced. Usually, the rear suspension was supported by leaf springs. Later, considering the riding comfort of rear passengers and the overall vehicle comfort, the suspension method was adopted. The link-type rear suspension has a pair on each side of the car, divided into upper and lower pull rods. The swing arm-type rear suspension is fixed in the middle of the axle together with the differential, and there are universal joints between the differential and the wheels. The swing arm suspension can be divided into full-trailing swing arm and semi-trailing swing arm. The drive shaft parallel to the axle is the full-trailing type, and the drive shaft not parallel to the axle is the semi-trailing type. The design of the car suspension is to ensure riding comfort and is one of the important components of the car. Car suspension is often used as one of the indicators to measure car quality.
