What are the hidden dangers of converting halogen headlights to xenon headlights?
1 Answers
Converting halogen headlights to xenon headlights is most likely to cause vehicle self-ignition, especially when privately installing low-quality xenon lights. This is because modified xenon lights generate extremely high temperatures, while the headlight housing has a limited heat resistance capacity. The reflective panels inside the housing are particularly prone to melting, which can lead to vehicle self-ignition. Ensure neat wiring during modification: Avoid excessively long dangling wires and friction from movement. Make sure all wire connections are secure and insulated. Avoid installing excessive decorative lighting: Throughout the modification process, pay careful attention to every detail and ensure all safety measures are properly implemented. Self-ignition can be prevented, especially since xenon lights, apart from having higher initial startup current, generally operate at lower power than halogen bulbs.
