It is not necessary to replace the entire headlight assembly if the outer shell is damaged. If there are minor cracks in the headlight shell, they can be repaired using glass adhesive. However, if the headlight shell has large cracks, repairing it may affect the lighting performance and even pose safety hazards. Therefore, it is advisable to promptly visit a repair shop or a 4S store for replacement. The main components involved in retrofitting xenon headlights are: 1. Replacing halogen bulbs with xenon bulbs: Since the market has introduced xenon bulbs compatible with halogen bulbs such as H7, H4, H3, H1, HB3, and HB4, this modification is applicable to almost all vehicle models. 2. Replacing the entire headlight assembly: This modification method primarily uses original xenon headlight assemblies, which combine xenon light sources with specially designed lenses and reflectors, making it the most ideal retrofitting approach.

What is the usage method of automotive wrench tools?

Automotive wrench tools are used as follows: 1. Open-end wrenches are used for installing and removing standard nuts and bolts. This type of wrench is convenient to use as it can directly grip two sides of a hexagon; 2. Box-end wrenches serve the same purpose as open-end wrenches. The sockets at both ends of a box-end wrench typically have 12 angles, making them less prone to slipping during rotation and ensuring safety and reliability. The socket openings of box-end wrenches are also made in different sizes to meet various needs; 3. Socket wrenches are complete sets of tools with various size specifications. These sets of wrenches also come with crank handles and long and short extensions, making them suitable for installing and removing bolts or nuts in relatively concealed locations; 4. Adjustable wrenches are wrenches with adjustable jaw openings. Adjustable wrenches are categorized by handle length. When using an adjustable wrench, ensure that the wrench is firmly pressed against the nut or bolt head to prevent the jaw from slipping or coming off, which could damage the wrench and the nut. The direction of the wrench should align with the movable part of the jaw to ensure the movable part is subjected to thrust.
