Is it necessary to replace halogen lights with LED lights on a Civic?
1 Answers
It is not necessary to replace halogen lights with LED lights on a Civic. The reasons are as follows: 1. Failing the annual inspection: If the original factory uses halogen lights, replacing them with LED lights will result in failing the annual inspection. 2. Blowing fuses: Modified lighting usually involves adding a voltage regulator and fuses, but due to incompatibility with the original car circuit, fuses often blow. Moreover, the voltage regulator can get extremely hot during operation, and improper installation can easily melt the wiring, causing a short circuit. Additional information about lighting: 1. LED lights: The advantages of LED lights include high brightness, versatile design options, energy efficiency, long lifespan, and compact size; however, their downside is that their penetration power is inferior to halogen lights, and they are technically complex and expensive. 2. Xenon lights: The advantages of xenon lights include low power consumption, high brightness, strong penetration power, and a longer lifespan compared to halogen lights; however, their disadvantages include not reaching maximum brightness immediately upon startup, complex structure, high failure rate and maintenance costs, and a tendency to scatter light.
