Application form for replacement or renewal of motor vehicle driving license, identity proof of the vehicle owner and its copy. If the business is handled by an agent, the agent's identity proof and its copy should also be provided.

I just went through this last year when I lost my vehicle title. I rushed to the DMV with my original ID and vehicle registration, filled out a lost declaration form on-site, and submitted an application. The staff processed it pretty quickly, saying I might need to wait a few days for approval before getting the new title. Remember to make a copy of your ID in advance to save trouble. By the way, newspaper declarations are rarely required now, but local policies vary, so it's best to check to avoid a wasted trip. The title is a crucial document proving ownership, and failing to replace it promptly can cause issues when selling or getting a loan. I recommend taking a photo backup and storing it in the cloud. The whole process took about an hour and cost a small fee—not too difficult.

Where are the car headlights located?

Car headlights are located on both sides of the front of the vehicle. Here is some relevant information about car headlights: 1. Disadvantages of replacing halogen bulbs with xenon bulbs: On one hand, since xenon bulbs differ in size and dimensions from the original halogen bulbs, the light-emitting part will inevitably deviate from the focal point. This can lead to serious issues such as poor light focus, incorrect high beam functionality, and even a hundredfold increase in the likelihood of dazzling oncoming drivers. 2. Using a car headlight booster: A car headlight booster employs a scientific voltage-boosting method to provide a constant optimal working voltage specifically for the vehicle's headlights. During startup, it preheats the bulb filament for protection (3~6 seconds). After startup, the headlights emit a steady, bright white light that does not fluctuate with changes in engine speed. It does not alter the original headlight beam pattern, nor does it increase the load on the vehicle's electrical system. It is safe and practical, with an extremely simple installation method.

What does the engine light on the car dashboard mean?

The engine light displayed on the car dashboard indicates an engine malfunction. Possible reasons include: 1. The need to replace the air flow sensor or oxygen sensor, spark plugs or ignition coils, or unclean engine cylinders with carbon deposits causing engine knocking; 2. Poor combustion state, low-quality fuel, etc. However, the specific cause needs to be diagnosed by reading the fault code with specialized equipment at an after-sales service center. The ways the engine light appears on the dashboard and solutions: 1. There are two ways the engine light can illuminate: yellow light or red light. If it's a red light, immediately go to a 4S shop for inspection and repair as the fault is severe; if it's a yellow light, the fault may not affect driving but should still be checked as soon as possible. 2. The car can read the fault code through the OBD interface using a computer. If you are interested in the vehicle's mechanical/electronic systems, you can purchase a Bluetooth module for the OBD interface to view and clear fault codes with a laptop or Android phone.

Does Replacing a Car Bumper Affect Resale Value?

Replacing a bumper does affect the vehicle's value, but not significantly: 1. Bumper replacement falls under physical depreciation, as the original and the replaced bumper are two different concepts, which will inevitably lead to some depreciation. However, simply replacing the bumper does not significantly impact the overall performance of the vehicle, so its effect on depreciation is minimal. 2. The higher the original value of the vehicle, the more noticeable the impact of details like bumper replacement on the overall resale value. For vehicles with lower initial value, certain defects are less magnified. Compared to critical issues like the crash beam, chassis, or engine, replacing a bumper is hardly worth mentioning. Here is some relevant information: 1. A car bumper is a safety device designed to absorb and mitigate external impacts, protecting the front and rear of the vehicle. It acts as a buffer during collisions to reduce impact forces. 2. The car bumper (or crash beam) covers most of the front and rear areas of the vehicle.

Do You Have to Pay for Tire Pressure Check at a Repair Shop?

Going to a repair shop to check tire pressure usually costs money, and it's more expensive at a 4S shop. However, checking tire pressure is a low-tech task, and general repair shops can handle it. Here is more information about tire pressure monitoring: 1. Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. The pressure information is then transmitted from inside the tire to a central receiver module via a wireless transmitter, displaying the pressure data for each tire. 2. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: The working principle of indirect tire pressure monitoring is that when the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, making it rotate faster than the other wheels. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors the tire pressure.

How to Route the Dash Cam Wiring in the Car?

Dash cam wiring methods and precautions: 1. Avoid routing wires near airbag locations to prevent interference with airbag deployment or potential injury caused by high-speed airbag ejection. 2. Tuck the wire along the upper edge of the windshield into the exterior trim panel of the A-pillar, then route it downward through the sealing strip on the side of the center console. From there, run it under the glove box to the cigarette lighter, or along the lower edge of the door frame to the rear seats or trunk. Secure any excess wiring by coiling it neatly. 3. Before purchasing, measure your intended wiring route with a string to determine the required power cord length. Manufacturers typically offer multiple options or provide original cables in various lengths. 4. Start wiring from the dash cam end, leaving excess wire at the opposite end for easier securing and concealment. However, never run wires across seat rails, as they may get crushed and damaged during seat adjustments.
