Rotate the lamp cover at the rear of the headlight counterclockwise to loosen it. At this point, you can see the wire spring inside the lamp base pressing against the bulb. Press down on one side of the spring to remove the bulb. Below is more information about the Wuling Hongguang S: 1. The Wuling Hongguang S is a crossover product independently developed by SAIC-GM-Wuling based on the Wuling Hongguang model, positioned between commercial vehicles and passenger cars. It features a sleek exterior design and a versatile, practical, and spacious cabin. 2. The Wuling Hongguang S achieves a perfect balance between power and fuel efficiency, excelling in handling and safety. Compared to the Wuling Hongguang, it has a more youthful appearance and a more car-like interior design. Additionally, it is equipped with a 1.5L DVVT engine, offering upgraded performance.

As a seasoned mechanic who frequently works on Wuling vehicles, I've encountered numerous issues with low beam headlights. The spring clip design behind the lamp base is quite ingenious - it functions like a U-shaped metal clamp. You need to first position the bulb properly, then press both ends of the spring with your hands and forcefully push it to slide into the plastic groove until it locks in place. A clicking sound indicates successful installation. If it's too loose, the light will wobble and affect illumination; if too tight, it might crush the bulb glass. Always disconnect power before operation - safety first, and never skip protective gloves and tools. Wuling Hongguang S typically uses H4 bulbs - choosing the correct model prevents spring clip mismatch. Regularly check the spring's elasticity as aged springs become brittle and prone to breaking, requiring complete lamp base replacement.

I've been driving the Wuling Hongguang S for over five years and have replaced the low beam bulbs a few times. The spring clip method is actually not complicated. It's a small steel piece fixed around the bulb base. During installation, you press the top of the spring with your fingers and push it inward into the groove to lock it. The first time, I tried the wrong direction and didn't secure it properly—the light flickered and then went out. Once aligned correctly, a single push locks it firmly. Make sure the spring isn't misaligned, or the bulb will tilt and the light won't focus properly. Before replacing the bulb, clean any dust or debris from the lamp socket. A reminder to everyone: if the spring's elasticity weakens, replace it promptly. Otherwise, bumps during driving could loosen the bulb and potentially blow a fuse.

When beginners learn car repair and study the Wuling Hongguang's light structure, the spring clip method emphasizes technique. After the spring presses the bulb, it needs to be pushed into the plastic slot to lock it in place. The operation is simple—just press and push in one step. If the spring is aged or incorrectly installed, causing unstable lights, rework is necessary. Ensure power is off and wear gloves to prevent scratches. H4 bulbs are universal and easy to match.

Don't be careless when repairing lights; incorrectly installed spring clips for Wuling's low beam lights pose hazards. Securely press the spring into the groove to fix the bulb and prevent loosening. Poor installation causes light flickering, severely affecting nighttime visibility and increasing danger. Apply even force during pressing to avoid deformation. Test the lights after operation to detect issues early. Wear protective gear to guard against electric shocks and cuts, and keep the lamp socket clean to reduce malfunctions.
