Is the buzzing sound when turning on the headlights a sign of damage?
1 Answers
A buzzing sound when turning on the headlights does not necessarily indicate a damaged light. The noise could also be caused by the operation of the cooling fan. Some LED headlights are equipped with a cooling fan at the bottom. Due to space constraints, this fan cannot be too large, yet it must provide effective cooling. The cooling fan operates at a very high speed, and the combination of small blades and high rotation speed inevitably produces noticeable noise. Therefore, a buzzing sound during driving is quite common. If the buzzing sound persists after turning on the LED headlights, it might be due to improper installation of the headlight, possibly leaving necessary gaps between the components. If the bulb is installed without proper housing, it is recommended that the car owner visit a repair shop for a thorough inspection. If the headlight noise is excessively loud, it is advisable to open the engine hood and inspect the source of the sound, as it could be caused by a malfunctioning cooling fan.
