Changing the color of headlights is not illegal, but it must comply with standards. Automobile modification regulations: Changing the brand, model, and engine type of a motor vehicle, except for engines that are permitted for optional installation by the competent department of motor vehicle products under the State Council, or altering the registered appearance and relevant technical data of a motor vehicle, unless otherwise stipulated by laws, regulations, and national mandatory standards. Modifying headlights is considered an act of altering the appearance of a vehicle and is difficult to pass during annual inspections. Precautions for modifying headlights: Do not change the color of taillights, as this is an extremely irresponsible practice for driving safety. When modifying headlights, avoid excessively adjusting the brightness, as this can cause unnecessary accidents during night driving. Also, avoid making the headlights too "flashy," as this can look awkward and may actually reduce the aesthetic appeal of the car.

Is it good to cover a car with a car cover?

Covering a car with a car cover is not good for the car, and here are the reasons: 1. The car cover can wear down the paint. Some car covers have a flocked inner material. When there is fine dust on the car's surface, putting the cover on turns it into a sandpaper-like sheet that matches the car's shape under the wind's effect, gently and slowly grinding the paint surface from all angles. Under strong light, the paint damage becomes very obvious. 2. It can easily corrode car parts. If the car is covered with a car cover in a high-temperature state, it's like covering a steaming pot with a plastic sheet. When the car is parked and the cover is on, the local temperature rises sharply, increasing humidity. Excessive humidity can rust the parts since 80% of a car's components are made of steel, which is prone to corrosion when exposed to water.

What is the difference between 95-octane and 92-octane gasoline?

95-octane and 92-octane gasoline differ in the following aspects: 1. Composition difference: They have different contents. 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. 2. Anti-knock index: The anti-knock index of 95-octane gasoline is 90, while that of 92-octane gasoline is no less than 87, making 95-octane gasoline more prone to combustion. 3. Compression ratio application: Cars with a compression ratio between 8.5-9.5 use 92-octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio greater than 9.5 use 95-octane gasoline.

What is the difference between one and a half turns and 90 degrees?

One and a half turns represent a 180-degree rotation of the steering wheel, while 90 degrees refers to a 90-degree rotation. Steering wheel operation follows these principles: 1. Centering Principle: The amount turned should be returned proportionally—quick turns require quick returns, and slow turns require slow returns. Use the car emblem as a reference to check if the wheel is centered. 2. Safety Principle: At high speeds, steering reactions should be quick with minimal adjustments—fine-tuning with one finger or half a finger. 3. Cornering Principle: The steering wheel should match the curve—quick turns for wide curves and slow turns for tight curves. 4. Correction Principle: If steering too early, adjust less and slower; if too late, adjust more and faster. Oversteer requires small corrections, while understeer needs quick compensation.

What Causes Severe Jerking After an Oil Change?

The reasons for severe jerking after an oil change are as follows: 1. Engine oil: The oil does not meet the standard or too much oil has been added. 2. Break-in period: After the break-in period of a new car, the engine noise may increase, and fuel consumption decreases. 3. Viscosity: The new oil has higher viscosity, leading to greater mechanical resistance and increased cylinder pressure. The functions of engine oil are as follows: 1. Lubrication: During engine operation, the friction between components is rapid and intense. A sufficiently thick oil film is needed between the piston and cylinder to separate the two components and reduce friction. 2. Cooling: The engine generates a lot of heat during operation, and the oil carries some of this heat back to the oil pan for dissipation. 3. Cleaning: Engine parts can produce oil sludge, carbon deposits, worn metal particles, and inhaled dust, which can easily form carbon buildup.

What is the wading depth of the BYD Han?

Generally, it should not exceed half the height of the wheel hub, which is still within a safe range. Daily use requires careful inspection. Below is relevant information on the impact of wading on a vehicle: 1. Brake failure: Residual water after wading can prevent the brake discs and pads from fully engaging, leading to a loss of braking power. 2. Causes chassis rust: Rainwater on roads is often dirty, containing various debris like fallen leaves. When a vehicle wades through water, these debris can easily stick to gaps in the chassis, leading to rust over time. 3. Damages headlights: Headlights are essential equipment for driving in rainy, foggy, or nighttime conditions, and their performance directly affects driving safety. If the headlight cover's seal is not tight, water can easily enter during wading, causing fog inside the headlight and reducing light transmission. 4. Causes short circuits: The engine compartment contains numerous wiring harnesses and circuits. When a vehicle wades through water, the connectors of these harnesses may get wet, potentially leading to short circuits.
