The model number of the Baojun 560 reading light is 31mm, 20A12V5W. Reading light: The reading light provides sufficient brightness for passengers when the interior lighting is insufficient, facilitating reading inside the car without affecting the driver's normal operation. It is connected to the cigarette lighter interface and can emit lights of different colors when the switch is activated. Currently, car reading lights include ordinary reading lights (with one bulb) and LED reading lights (with multiple LED bulbs). Function of car reading lights: The 'door' mark usually found on reading lights indicates the activation mode of the light. 'Door' means that when the car door is opened, the overhead light will turn on. It also lights up if the door is left open or not closed tightly, serving as a warning.
I remember the reading light in the Baojun 560 usually uses a T10 bulb, also known as W5W—a small wedge bulb with a power of around 5 watts. Replacing it yourself is very simple: just pry off the ceiling lamp cover, pull out the old bulb, and plug in a new T10. The whole process takes about five minutes. I recommend upgrading to an LED bulb—it’s brighter, more energy-efficient, and lasts longer. You can easily buy one online for just 10 yuan. However, there might be slight differences between model years; for example, the 2015 and 2018 versions have slightly different materials, so it’s safer to check the owner’s manual diagrams or the physical label to confirm the bulb type. When replacing, make sure to disconnect the power to avoid short circuits. If the bulb has been used for a long time, it might blow a fuse, so check the fuse box in case of any electrical issues. LED bulbs come in different color temperatures like cool white, blue, or warm white—just avoid overly harsh lighting that could affect driving. In short, T10 is the standard, and after the upgrade, reading at night becomes much more convenient—practical and cost-effective.
I believe the Baojun 560 reading light uses a T10 bulb, which is commonly used in domestic vehicles due to its compact size and easy replacement. You can search online for T10 bulbs, purchase them affordably, and install them yourself—simply pry open the lamp cover, remove the old bulb, and insert the new T10. It’s a quick fix. I’ve upgraded to an LED version, which is super bright; reading or checking maps in the car at night is no longer dim. The factory halogen bulbs have a short lifespan, while LEDs are durable and energy-efficient, making them a cost-effective upgrade. However, confirm the model first by checking the manual or inspecting the bulb label, as bulb positions may vary slightly in different configurations (e.g., top trim). If the reading light doesn’t work, try replacing the bulb before checking fuses or loose wiring—common issues that are easy to DIY. Regular maintenance, like cleaning the lamp cover to prevent dust buildup, can extend its lifespan. A practical tip to save time and money!
