How to Replace the Front Fog Lights on the Changan Eado?

To replace the fog lights, simply unscrew the three fixing screws. When removing the fog light cover, pry it from the inside outward with a flat-head screwdriver, applying slight force to release each clip one by one. To prevent scratching the car paint, you can wrap the screwdriver tip with a thin cloth. Below is some relevant information about the Changan Eado fog lights: 1. The fog lights on the Changan Eado can be turned on by pressing the blue button. The front and rear fog light switch is located on the headlight switch—the outer section turns on the headlights, and the inner section activates the front and rear fog lights. 2. In adverse weather conditions such as fog, snow, heavy rain, or in environments filled with smoke and dust, front fog lights are essential for illuminating the road ahead and ensuring driving safety. 3. In recent years, fog lights are often integrated into the front bumper in terms of design. The purpose of fog lights is to make the vehicle visible to others in conditions of reduced visibility due to fog or rain, so the light source must have strong penetration. Most vehicles use halogen fog lights, while xenon fog lights are a more advanced option. Fog lights must be installed below the bumper, as close to the ground as possible, to ensure their effectiveness. If mounted too high, the light cannot penetrate the fog or rain to illuminate the road (since fog is generally thinner below 1 meter), which could lead to dangerous situations.

I found it quite smooth when replacing the front fog lights on my Changan Eado myself. Prepare a screwdriver and new bulbs, and make sure not to buy the wrong model since it's for the Eado. After parking and turning off the engine, disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety. Locate the fog light position under the front bumper, unscrew the fixing bolts to remove the old light, being careful not to damage the wiring harness. Install the new light by aligning the connector, plugging it in firmly, and then tightening the screws. Reconnect the battery and test if the lights turn on properly. I often do maintenance and found that cleaning the fog lights when they're dusty can improve brightness. I recommend doing it yourself to save time and hundreds in repair fees, as 4S shop charges can be high. Regular checks can prevent unexpected replacements.

I always enjoy using some tricks when working on car lights. Prepare a Phillips screwdriver and gloves to open the fog light housing. Park the Yidong car on level ground and take photos of the wiring connections before removing the screws to prevent misconnection or accidental contact. After removing the old bulb, clean the oxidized layer on the connector contacts to make the new bulb more durable. During installation, be gentle and align the clips properly without forcing them. Before testing the lights, check if the sealing ring is tightly sealed to prevent moisture. Doing it yourself allows you to learn the basics of car circuits and gives a sense of accomplishment. Remember to choose genuine parts for better cost performance when buying accessories.

First time changing the Yidong fog lights, I was a bit nervous but it's actually not difficult. After parking and cutting the power, prepare the new bulb. Locate the fog light position under the car, loosen the screws, carefully remove the old light without scratching the paint. Install the new light, plug in the wires, secure them, then turn on the light to check if it's working. If not, plug it in tighter. Using the lights less often can extend their lifespan, saving money and hassle.

What is the difference between OEM and aftermarket parts?

The difference between OEM and aftermarket parts lies in their suppliers and quality. Here are the relevant details: 1. Suppliers: OEM parts are manufactured by the automaker's designated suppliers, meaning these auto parts manufacturers have established cooperative relationships with the car brand manufacturers. The parts they produce are approved by the car brand manufacturers and carry the OEM label. Aftermarket parts do not have designated suppliers. 2. Quality: Aftermarket parts do not possess the intellectual property rights for these components. These parts manufacturers typically use OEM parts to create molds, essentially replicating the same components. As a result, they avoid R&D costs and do not need to pass stringent quality checks. However, such replicated parts may not match the fit and quality of OEM or genuine parts, often resulting in lower quality.

What is the difference between a legally imported motorcycle and a smuggled one?

The main difference between a legally imported motorcycle and a smuggled one is that one is legal while the other is not. The specific differences are as follows: 1. Different sources: Legally imported motorcycles are officially imported, while smuggled motorcycles are illegally brought into the country. 2. Different quality: Legally imported motorcycles come with comprehensive quality and after-sales guarantees and can be properly registered; smuggled motorcycles lack the necessary documentation for registration and have no after-sales service guarantees. Information about legally imported and smuggled motorcycles is as follows: 1. Legally imported motorcycles: These are vehicles imported through formal customs channels, sold by authorized dealers, and have paid purchase taxes and can be registered and transferred at any time. Legally imported motorcycles come with a customs import certificate, an inspection certificate from the import port, and must be declared with an import license. 2. Smuggled motorcycles: These refer to products sold in a country or region without going through the sales agents designated by the original manufacturer. Smuggled motorcycles fall under this category.

Where to Start After Failing the Subject Three Midway?

After failing the Subject Three midway, you will start again from the beginning for the second test. Here are the precautions for the Subject Three test: 1. Clutch pedal: It can only be used when starting, shifting up, shifting down, or stopping. Do not press the clutch during normal driving. When encountering a situation that requires slight deceleration, only press the brake to avoid coasting. 2. Accelerator pedal: The green light will flash a few times before turning red. At this time, depending on the distance from the intersection and the speed, if the distance is short and the speed has not dropped, press the accelerator. 3. Straighten and stop: After hearing the command and checking the road conditions, if there is no solid line or you are too close to the intersection, quickly turn on the right signal, check the rearview mirror, brake to slow down and merge, position the car slightly to the right of the road center, turn the wheel to the left, and when the car can slide straight by inertia, press the clutch, straighten the wheel to the right, and stop.

How to Start a Dual Clutch?

Dual clutch starting method: Press the brake, shift into N gear to start, then shift into D gear after starting, release the brake, and press the accelerator to start the vehicle. The dual-clutch transmission is different from other automatic transmission systems. Based on a manual transmission yet belonging to the automatic transmission category, it not only offers the flexibility of a manual transmission and the comfort of an automatic transmission but also provides uninterrupted power output. The dual clutch in a car is located between the engine and the transmission, acting as a 'switch' for power transfer between the engine and the transmission. It is a transmission mechanism that can both transmit and cut off power. Its main functions are to ensure smooth vehicle starting, reduce the impact load on transmission gears during gear shifting, and prevent overload in the transmission system.
