Halogen bulbs have a lifespan of approximately 600 hours. Halogen bulbs are a variant of incandescent bulbs. Their working principle involves filling the bulb with halogen gases such as iodine or bromine. At high temperatures, the sublimated tungsten filament chemically reacts with the halogen, and the cooled tungsten re-solidifies on the filament, forming a balanced cycle that prevents the filament from breaking prematurely. Precautions for using halogen bulbs include: 1. Halogen bulbs operate at very high temperatures, so ensure the bulb is fully cooled before removing it after turning off the headlights; 2. The glass shell of halogen bulbs is made of quartz material. Avoid touching the bulb with hands or cloth before lighting it, as this can cause the bulb to lose its luster irreversibly; 3. If a halogen bulb gets dirty, clean it before lighting it. You can use alcohol-soaked cotton balls to wipe it.

Does Changing Wheel Color Affect Annual Inspection?

As long as the tire size remains unchanged, changing the color of the wheel hubs or replacing them with other wheels is legal. The annual inspection includes the following 4 items: 1. Check the engine, chassis, body, and their accessories: Inspect whether the engine, chassis, body, and their accessories are clean and complete, whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether the main assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records; 2. Test whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, and other safety features meet requirements: Verify whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lighting, exhaust, and other safety features comply with relevant regulations; 3. Check whether the vehicle has been modified and whether approval procedures have been completed: Examine whether the vehicle has undergone modifications, alterations, or transformations, whether the driving license, license plate, and all vehicle registration records match the actual condition of the vehicle, whether there are any changes, and whether approval and modification procedures have been completed; 4. Check for damage to the license plate and driving license: Inspect whether the license plate, driving license, and the enlarged license plate characters printed on the vehicle are damaged, whether the writing is unclear due to alterations, and whether replacement is needed.

How to Replace the Spark Plugs on a Baojun 510?

Baojun 510 spark plug replacement steps: Open the hood, lift the engine's plastic cover, remove the high-voltage distributor wires, and mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for any external debris like leaves or dust and ensure they are thoroughly cleaned. Place the new spark plugs into the spark plug holes, hand-tighten them a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten them further. Reinstall the removed high-voltage distributor wires according to the firing order, then secure the cover. Spark plug replacement interval: Under normal maintenance conditions, replace them every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it's recommended to follow the owner's manual. Refer to the following standards for maintenance replacement: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, standard nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers.

What are the reasons for the flashing engine oil light?

There are 5 main reasons for the flashing engine oil light: 1. Excessive oil viscosity or overly high high-temperature resistance: Oil viscosity is related to oil quality. The higher the viscosity, the stronger the oil's high-temperature resistance. However, higher viscosity is not always better. It's important to use an oil grade that matches the engine. 2. Pressure relief valve blockage causing abnormal oil pressure: To prevent excessive oil pressure in the lubrication system that would increase engine power consumption and cause leaks at sealed connections, a pressure relief valve is installed in the main oil passage or oil pump. Its function is to limit the oil pressure in the lubrication system to not exceed the specified value. A faulty pressure relief valve can cause abnormal oil pressure, triggering the oil light. 3. Insufficient oil quantity leading to decreased oil pressure: This reduces the oil pump's output, lowering oil pressure. The crankshaft and bearings, cylinder liners and pistons will experience increased wear due to poor lubrication. 4. Overheating engine accelerating oil aging and thinning, causing leaks through clearances: Excessive scale in the cooling system, poor heat dissipation, prolonged overload operation, or delayed fuel injection timing can cause engine overheating. This accelerates oil aging, deterioration, and thinning, leading to leaks through clearances, pressure drops, and illumination of the oil warning light. 5. Clogged oil filter causing bypass valve to open, allowing unfiltered oil into the main oil passage: When the oil filter is clogged and cannot flow, the bypass valve in its base opens, allowing oil to enter the main passage unfiltered. If the bypass valve's opening pressure is set too high or too low, the oil pump pressure will rise or fall accordingly, triggering the warning light.
