What are the models of car headlights?
2 Answers
Different cars may have different models of car headlights. Common models include H1, H3, H4, H7, H11, etc. Among the current common car models, H3 and H11 are mostly used for fog lights, while H4 is often found in Korean and Japanese cars where the high and low beams are in the same bulb. H1 and H7 are mostly used for the high and low beams of European cars. Here is additional information: 1. Definition of car headlights: Car headlights, also known as car front headlights or car LED daytime running lights, serve as the eyes of the car. They are not only related to the external image of a car owner but also closely linked to safe driving at night or under bad weather conditions. The use and maintenance of car lights should not be overlooked. 2. Precautions for replacing car bulbs: Before replacing car bulbs, gloves and protective goggles are needed. Use alcohol to wipe off fingerprints or grease on the outer surface of the lamp shell. Do not touch the glass surface of the bulb with bare hands to prevent shortening the bulb's lifespan due to fingerprints contaminating the glass shell. After replacing the bulb, the headlights should be adjusted to avoid glare.
I often work on cars and am very familiar with automotive headlight bulb types. Common halogen bulbs include H1, H3, H4, H7, H9, and H11. The H4 features a dual-filament design suitable for most vehicles' high/low beam switching, while H7 is typically used for low beams. Xenon HID bulbs like D1S and D2S require ballasts for operation—they offer superior brightness but have complex installation. Modern LED headlights often use vehicle-specific part numbers rather than standard H-series codes. When selecting bulbs, always consult your vehicle manual for proper matching, as incorrect size or wattage may cause fuse burnout or poor contact. Remember to turn off the engine and wear gloves during replacement, and regularly inspect bulbs for aging to prevent nighttime driving hazards—after all, proper illumination is crucial for safe driving.
