Lavida high beam bulb replacement method is: 1. After the vehicle is turned off, wait for the engine to cool down completely before opening the engine hood; 2. Locate and remove the high beam dust cover; 3. Unplug the wiring harness connector on the bulb base inside the headlight assembly; 4. Pinch the steel wire clip next to the base, and once the clip loosens, the bulb can be directly removed and replaced with a new one. The Lavida is a compact 4-door 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of: length 4670mm, width 1806mm, height 1474mm, and a wheelbase of 2688mm. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm.

I replaced the high beam bulb on my Lavida two years ago, and it was quite simple. First, turn off the engine and remove the key to ensure safety, then open the hood and locate the rear cover of the headlight assembly, which usually has a rubber cap or plastic ring. After unscrewing the cover, you'll see the bulb socket, and you can carefully press the retaining clip or twist it slightly to remove it. Avoid touching the glass part of the new bulb directly with your hands, as oils can damage the filament—wear clean gloves or use a cloth to insert the new bulb. After securing it back, close the cover and test if the light works properly. After I replaced it myself, the light was much brighter, and I felt like I saved money on the repair shop. Just make sure to buy the correct model—check the vehicle year to match the bulb type, as some Lavidas use H7 bulbs.

I've always enjoyed DIY car repairs, and changing the high beam bulbs on the Lavida is quite straightforward. Prepare a new bulb and a screwdriver (or just use your hands). After opening the hood, locate the rear cover at the back of the headlight, twist it open, and gently remove the old bulb to avoid damaging the wires. Align the new bulb with the slot, push it in, and give it a twist to secure it firmly, ensuring no dust gets inside to affect brightness. The whole process takes about ten minutes. Afterward, test it on the road to check if the beam is properly aligned to avoid dazzling other drivers. The cost is just the price of the bulb, around a few dozen yuan.

As an average car owner, I believe safety comes first when replacing the Lavida's high beam headlights. After turning off the engine, open the hood and locate the rear of the headlight assembly. Disconnect the old bulb's connector, gently unscrew the retaining ring to remove the faulty bulb. Avoid touching the glass surface of the new bulb, insert it directly and lock it in place, then reconnect and test the switch to ensure proper operation. Remember to disconnect the power before working to avoid short-circuit risks - DIY replacement saves time and effort while being reliable.
