What Causes Car Headlights to Stay On?
1 Answers
Car headlights staying on is typically due to a stuck headlight relay. The driver controls the headlight switch, which provides power to the control terminal of the relay. The relay then engages independently, directing power from the battery through a higher-capacity wire to the headlights. If this relay is damaged and remains stuck in the engaged position, the headlights will stay on continuously. To fix this, locate the headlight relay position in the relay box, remove the old relay, and replace it with a new one. Below is relevant information about car headlights: 1. Disadvantages of replacing halogen bulbs with xenon bulbs: Since xenon bulbs differ in size and dimensions from original halogen bulbs, the light-emitting part inevitably deviates from the focal point. This can cause serious issues such as poor light focus, incorrect high beam functionality, and a significant increase in the likelihood of dazzling oncoming drivers. 2. Using car headlight enhancers: Car headlight enhancers employ a scientific voltage-boosting method to provide a constant optimal working voltage specifically for car headlights. During startup, they preheat the bulb filaments for protection (3~6 seconds). After startup, the headlights emit a steady, bright white light that does not vary with engine speed. This method does not alter the original headlight beam pattern, does not increase the load on the vehicle's electrical system, and is safe and practical, with an extremely simple installation process.
