Modifying headlights requires filing a record with the vehicle management office. If the modification is not approved by the traffic management department in advance, the vehicle with modified headlights cannot be driven on the road. Relevant regulations: According to the current "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," for vehicles that pass the annual inspection normally, any changes to the body color, model, performance, purpose, or structure of a licensed motor vehicle, as well as replacement of the frame, body, or engine, must be reported to the vehicle management office for registration of changes. Installing spoilers, extensive body kits, or modifying exhaust pipes are, in principle, not allowed. Requirements for light modification: The low beam must not be less than 1,050 lumens, and the high beam must not be less than 1,450 lumens. The light intensity of a moving vehicle must not be less than 15,000 CD or higher than 120,000 CD. The color temperature must not exceed 6,000 K; otherwise, the annual inspection equipment cannot detect the lights.

What is the difference between DOHC and SOHC?

SOHC engines and DOHC engines differ in their intake systems. The following are the relevant details: 1. Different intake systems: An SOHC engine refers to an intake system that uses a single overhead camshaft, meaning one intake valve and one exhaust valve; a DOHC engine refers to an intake system that uses dual overhead camshafts, typically with multiple valves per cylinder, commonly four valves. 2. Multi-valve engines: Multi-valve engines allow for more complete combustion, enabling more fresh air to enter the engine, resulting in better emission efficiency. The automotive ignition system is designed to ensure the proper operation of spark-ignition engines by supplying the spark plugs with sufficiently high-energy high-voltage electricity in the correct firing order for each cylinder, producing a strong enough spark to ignite the combustible air-fuel mixture.

Where is the clutch on a motorcycle?

The clutch on a motorcycle is located on the handlebar. Here is an introduction about the clutch: 1. Introduction: The clutch is mostly located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission, with the clutch assembly fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel by screws. The output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. 2. Function: The clutch is used to ensure smooth starting of the vehicle, smooth gear shifting, and to prevent transmission overload. 3. Friction clutch: The friction clutch is the most widely used and historically oldest type of clutch, which basically consists of four parts: the driving part, the driven part, the pressing mechanism, and the operating mechanism.

Why can't a spare tire be used for a long time?

Spare tires cannot be used for a long time for the following reasons: 1. Spare tires are items that have been stored for a long time. The wear level and tire pressure of a spare tire are inconsistent with the tires currently in use on the car, significantly affecting the spare tire's grip and drainage capabilities. 2. Most are unidirectional tires: Spare tires are not fully universal, and prolonged use can pose serious safety hazards. In extreme road conditions, tire issues may lead to accidents, endangering the driver's life. 3. Appearance is inferior to main tires: Spare tires are not very aesthetically pleasing in terms of shape and texture, which can have a certain impact on the overall image of the car.

What Causes the Car Warning Light to Stay On?

Car warning light stays on for the following reasons: 1. Poor gasoline quality leads to incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder, resulting in carbon deposits; 2. Excessive engine mileage causes weakened spark plug performance; 3. Mechanical aging of the vehicle; 4. Damaged, poor contact, or signal interruption of components such as water temperature sensor, crankshaft position sensor, air flow sensor, intake air temperature sensor, and oxygen sensor. Solutions for car warning light illumination include: 1. Promptly inspect the condition of the car engine; 2. Check the status of the car's sensors, air flow sensor, and spark plug components; 3. Inspect for any engine knocking; 4. Examine whether the ignition coil has any faults.

Is it okay to drive a few meters with the handbrake on?

Driving a few meters with the handbrake on has minimal impact, at most causing slight wear to the rear brake pads. The following is an introduction to the handbrake: Introduction 1: The professional term for the handbrake is auxiliary brake. Unlike the principle of the main brake, it uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to apply braking force to the vehicle. Introduction 2: Long-term use of the handbrake can cause plastic deformation of the steel cable. Since this deformation is irreversible, prolonged use will reduce its effectiveness and increase the handbrake's travel distance. Introduction 3: The handbrake is also equipped with a return spring. When the handbrake is engaged, the spring is stretched, and when released, the spring returns to its original length. Long-term use of the handbrake can also cause corresponding deformation in the spring.

What Causes Abnormal Noise from the Battery During Charging?

Here are the specific reasons for abnormal noise from the battery during charging: 1. Dust and lack of lubrication: The battery charger has a fan for heat dissipation. Over time, dust may accumulate on the fan or the fan roller may lack lubrication, leading to loud noises. In this case, adding lubricant to the fan roller can resolve the issue. 2. Loose magnetic core: The high-frequency magnetic core inside the charger may become loose. It can be secured with a piece of paper and then sealed with paraffin or hot melt adhesive. 3. Failed filter capacitor: The failure of the front-stage filter capacitor increases ripple, usually accompanied by a decrease in charging current. In most cases, this can be identified visually—the top of the capacitor may bulge slightly, or there may be electrolyte leakage at the bottom, leaving brown-black marks, or green/white powder on the pins. If this is the case, replacing it with a new capacitor of the same model will solve the problem.
