Generally, there is no impact. However, if the current is higher than the voltage stability rating of the original car lights, it can have an effect. Reasons: As long as the lights are used normally, modifying them will not affect the battery. Simply turn off the modified lights when parking and avoid using high-power electrical devices after turning off the engine, and the impact on the battery will be minimal. However, if the current of the modified lights exceeds the voltage stability rating of the original car lights, it can have an effect. Additional Information: The normal lifespan of a battery ranges from 1 to 8 years, depending largely on the condition of the vehicle. If the vehicle's alternator recharges normally and there are no electrical leaks or grounding issues, the battery can typically last over 3 years. If you notice that the battery isn't charging properly, the starter is weak, or the headlights are noticeably dimmer, you should remove the battery and charge it for 12-24 hours using a charger. If the problem persists and the mileage exceeds 50,000 KM, and the alternator is functioning correctly, you may need to consider replacing the battery.

Which is more expensive for a driver's license: automatic or manual transmission?

Automatic transmission is more expensive than manual transmission. The following are the differences between manual and automatic transmission: 1. Different levels of operational difficulty: Automatic transmission does not require stepping on the clutch or frequent gear shifting while driving, making it more convenient to operate. Manual transmission requires stepping on the clutch to complete gear shifting operations, imposing stricter technical requirements on the driver. 2. Different principles: Automatic transmission uses a computer to control hydraulic oil to push pistons for gear shifting based on the throttle size, speed, and throttle switch. Manual transmission adds a user-adjustable gear shifting device to the original 100 automatic transmission, allowing the owner to use this device for lifting operations. 3. Different operation methods: Automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on speed and road conditions. Manual transmission can only be operated by manually shifting gears.
