2 Answers
The steps to replace the headlight bulb of Chery Arrizo 5 are: 1. Turn off the vehicle's power and open the engine hood; 2. Locate the headlight that needs replacement from the rear and unplug the connector; 3. Pinch the bulb socket and rotate it counterclockwise to remove the bulb; 4. Pull out the old bulb and install the new one; 5. Reinsert the replaced bulb into the lamp holder and plug in the connector. The Chery Arrizo 5 is a compact car with body dimensions of 4572mm in length, 1825mm in width, 1482mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2670mm. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 66kW and a maximum torque of 130Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
The other day, I was driving my Chery Arrizo 5 when the left headlight suddenly went out, so I decided to replace it myself. After turning off the engine and waiting for it to cool down, I opened the hood and located the back of the headlight assembly. There was a twist-off cap that I carefully unscrewed without using too much force. I disconnected the power connector and gently wiggled out the old bulb, making sure not to touch the glass part since the oil from my hands could cause the new bulb to burn out. I had prepared an H7 bulb, aligned it with the slot, inserted it, and secured it by turning it clockwise. Then, I reconnected the power connector to test if the light worked before closing the cap. The whole process took about 20 minutes, though the space was a bit tight, so having a flashlight helped me see the structure clearly. I think wearing protective gloves and keeping spare bulbs handy would be useful for next time. This way, I saved both time and money by avoiding a repair shop, and the improved brightness makes nighttime driving safer and more reassuring.
