What is the model number of the low beam bulb for the Haval H6?
2 Answers
The bulb model numbers for the Haval H6 headlights are high beam H1/55W and low beam H7/55W. The base version features halogen headlights, while mid-to-high trim models come with LED headlights. 1. Introduction: Halogen headlights are essentially an upgraded version of incandescent bulbs. By adding halogen gas, they address the issues of short lifespan and blackening associated with incandescent bulbs. The advantages of halogen lights include low cost, ease of production, and strong light penetration due to their yellow light, outperforming xenon and LED lights in this aspect. However, their drawbacks are lower brightness and relatively shorter lifespan. 2. Principle: The light emission principles of LED headlights, halogen headlights, and xenon lights all involve converting electrical energy into thermal energy, which is then transformed into light energy. LED headlights, however, directly convert electrical energy into light energy through LED chips, bypassing the thermal energy conversion step. Hence, LED headlights are also known as cold light sources, typically operating at temperatures between 50 to 70 degrees Celsius.
I usually enjoy repairing my car myself. The low beam bulb model for the Haval H6 is generally an H7 halogen bulb, but there might be slight adjustments for different model years, like the 2015 version or newer models, mostly using H7, while older versions might use H7 or H11. Replacing it yourself is super easy: turn off the engine, open the hood, locate the rear cover of the headlight unit, twist it counterclockwise to open, carefully remove the old bulb without touching the glass surface (fingerprints can cause it to burst), insert the new H7 bulb, align it with the socket, press firmly, and close the cover—done. A single bulb costs just a few bucks, available on Taobao or at auto parts stores. I recommend the Philips brand for reliability. Replace the bulbs as soon as the light dims, otherwise, you won’t be able to see road signs or pedestrians clearly at night, making driving dangerously risky. Keep two boxes of bulbs in the trunk for emergencies—doing it yourself saves hassle and money, and the whole process takes just ten minutes.
