Is it necessary to remove the halogen headlight shade?

It is not necessary to remove the halogen headlight shade. The function of the shade is to prevent light dispersion and to better focus the light. Removing the shade will not make the headlight brighter, as the bulb's light is mainly reflected outward by the reflector cup installed inside. Without the shade, the light focus would be poor, and the reflection effect would actually decrease. Current measures for headlight anti-glare include: using dual-filament bulbs, using dual-filament bulbs with shades, etc. 1. Using dual-filament bulbs. The high-beam filament is located at the focal point of the reflector, with high power, capable of illuminating the road more than 150 meters ahead. When driving at night with no oncoming traffic, the high beam can be used. The low-beam filament is located above or in front of the focal point of the reflector, with lower power. When driving at night with oncoming traffic, the low beam can be used. Due to the weaker light and most of the reflection directed downward in front of the vehicle, it can avoid dazzling the oncoming driver. 2. Using dual-filament bulbs with shades. The shade is located below the low-beam filament. When using the low beam, the shade blocks the light from the low-beam filament directed downward, preventing reflection and improving the anti-glare effect.
