Fumigated headlights can last for about two to three years. The headlight fumigation repair and refurbishment method is the latest technique for headlight restoration. The specially processed and formulated materials result in a smooth, glossy, and evenly restored headlight surface. More information about car headlights is as follows: 1. Introduction: Car headlights, also known as front headlights, are lighting fixtures used to illuminate the road ahead during nighttime driving. They are symmetrically installed on both sides of the front end of the vehicle. 2. Working Principle: LED is an electroluminescent device that uses a solid-state semiconductor chip as the light-emitting material. It emits light directly through photon emission caused by carrier recombination. LED headlights are lighting fixtures manufactured using LEDs as the light source.

As an enthusiast who often helps friends modify cars, I think the durability of smoked headlights depends on how you do it. For those treated with spray paint, they usually last about two to three years, but if left outside in the sun or rain all the time, they fade and crack quickly. I recommend the film type—good quality ones can last four to five years, provided you apply extra protective cleaner. Also, avoid scrubbing hard when washing the car, as scratches make maintenance harder. My own car’s headlights lasted over three years, but summer heat made them brittle, and winter frost caused some pieces to peel off. Regularly checking brightness is crucial—otherwise, driving at night can be dangerous, and an accident isn’t worth the risk. To extend their lifespan, apply some specialized protective oil every six months—it’s simple and effective.

Having driven for over a decade, my experience is that blacked-out headlights really don't last. Climate affects them heavily—like in the rainy southern regions where I live, painted ones turn yellow within a year. It's slightly better in the drier north, but they won't last beyond three years. Choosing the wrong materials makes it worse: cheap paint starts bubbling in a month, while premium options may hold up longer. Wraps perform better, especially UV-resistant ones, but road debris or high-pressure car wash jets can easily scratch the surface. I recommend regularly checking the lens for discoloration—replace it as soon as it turns hazy, don't wait until brightness drops too low. Safety comes first: dim headlights make it hard to see road signs at night, increasing accident risks. Park under shelters often and avoid prolonged sun exposure.

Why does the Cruze's fan keep running when the water temperature is not high?

The reason is a faulty thermostat. Below is an introduction to the thermostat: 1. Definition: The car thermostat is a valve that controls the flow path of the engine coolant. 2. Function: The thermostat automatically adjusts the amount of water entering the radiator based on the coolant temperature to ensure the engine operates within an appropriate temperature range, which can help save energy. 3. Impact: The thermostat must maintain good working condition; otherwise, it will severely affect the normal operation of the engine. For example, if the main valve of the thermostat opens too late or fails to open, it will cause the engine to overheat. If it opens too early, the engine's warm-up time will be prolonged, resulting in the engine temperature being too low.
