2 Answers
The method for removing the headlight switch of the Magotan is to place the headlight switch in the fully off position, then press the rotatable part inward, and finally rotate it clockwise to about 15 degrees to pull out the switch. Car headlights are also known as car front lights or car LED daytime running lights. Below is the classification of car lights: 1. Headlights, combined headlights are located at the front of the car, mainly serving for illumination and signaling. 2. Combined taillights, located at the rear of the car, primarily serve for illumination and signaling. 3. Turn signals, used to indicate left or right turns to other road users. Regulations require them to be amber in color. 4. License plate lights, mainly used to illuminate the license plate, allowing people to identify the vehicle license plate at night.
Removing the headlight switch on the Magotan, I've done it many times. First, ensure safety: turn off the engine, open the hood, locate the battery, and use a wrench to loosen the negative cable to avoid short circuits or electric shock. Wear gloves for protection and prepare a Phillips screwdriver and a small pry tool. Get into the driver's seat and look under the steering wheel—there’s a decorative cover panel. Unscrew two or three screws to remove the panel. The headlight switch is then fixed on the left side of the dashboard; gently unscrew its mounting screws. Carefully unplug the connector; don’t yank it—press the latch before separating. The whole process takes about 10 minutes. After removal, check if the switch contacts are burnt or dirty; some older Magotan models accumulate dust, leading to poor contact. When installing a new switch, just reverse the steps, align it properly before tightening the screws, and finally, reconnect the battery to test if the lights function correctly.
