The method for replacing the headlights of a Sagitar: 1. After opening the hood, there is an iron hook on the inner side of both headlights. Behind the headlight, there is a plastic screw used to lock the headlight. Remove the two plastic screws behind the headlight and store them properly, then pull the iron hook outward to the end, and the headlight can be removed; 2. After removing the headlight, you will find that the headlight wiring harness is fixed by a socket. Feel the bottom of the connector with your hand to find the buckle, press it down, and the wiring harness can be removed; 3. After unplugging the wiring harness, the headlight assembly is disassembled; 4. After replacing with a new one, install it back according to the above method. The Sagitar is a compact car launched by FAW-Volkswagen, with a length, width, and height of 4753mm, 1800mm, and 1462mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2731mm. It is equipped with two turbocharged engines, 1.2T and 1.4T, with maximum power of 85kw and 110kw respectively, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch or 5-speed manual transmission.

Replacing the headlights of a Sagitar isn't actually difficult. I often work on my car myself, enjoying both the savings and the fun. First, check the owner's manual to confirm the bulb type—Sagitar mostly uses H7 halogen bulbs, so don't buy the wrong one. After purchasing the new bulb, park the car, turn off the engine, and open the hood. The headlight assembly is usually located on both sides of the front. Find the cover at the back of the headlight assembly, which typically twists off. When removing the old bulb, wear gloves and avoid touching the glass part, as oils can shorten the bulb's lifespan. Install the new bulb by aligning it with the slot and pushing it firmly into place, then secure the cover to ensure the seal is intact and prevent water ingress. After finishing, start the car to test if the lights work. It's advisable to have a simple toolkit handy—the whole process takes about 15 minutes. If you're unsure, though, it's best to visit a 4S shop.

When replacing headlights myself, I pay the most attention to details, as safety comes first. The vehicle must be completely turned off and allowed to cool down, and it's best to disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent short circuits. The headlight assembly of the Sagitar has a plastic cover at the back, which can be removed by turning it counterclockwise. The bulb inside is connected to wires, so be gentle when unplugging to avoid damage. Before and after installing the new bulb, wipe the connectors with alcohol swabs to prevent oxidation and ensure good conductivity. If switching to LED bulbs for higher brightness, though more expensive, make sure they are compatible with the Sagitar's electrical system to avoid blowing fuses. Take your time throughout the process, ensuring a proper seal and secure fit. After replacement, test the headlight angle at night to ensure proper adjustment.

Replacing the headlights on the Sagitar is simple and quick. I got it done in just a few minutes following this method: First, purchase the correct H7 bulbs for your model, then open the hood and locate the round cover at the back of the headlight assembly to unscrew it; pull out the old bulb, clean any dust, and directly plug in the new bulb; secure it and screw the cover back on to finish. Remember to wear gloves throughout the process and ensure the car is parked on a level surface with the engine off before starting. Test it once to confirm success—no complex tools needed. The Sagitar is designed with user-friendliness in mind, making DIY tasks easy to pick up.
