LED headlights will not cause a car to catch fire due to temperature. The reasons for a car catching fire include: 1. Aging circuits: After prolonged use, the car's wiring may age, causing the outer insulation layer to peel off. Circuit faults or poor wire connections can lead to short circuits, resulting in spontaneous combustion. 2. Fuel leaks: Since fuel lines are mostly made of rubber, aging rubber can crack and cause gasoline leaks. Regularly inspect the fuel lines, replace any issues promptly, and keep the engine system clean. 3. Circuit modifications: Some car owners may install additional accessories after purchasing a new car, such as anti-theft devices or audio systems. If the wiring structure is not analyzed, the circuit power is not considered, wires are improperly routed, fuses are not added, or wires are not secured, these incorrect operations can create hazards.

LED headlights do generate heat, but they typically won't burn your car. I was curious about this myself when using my car, and found that LEDs run much cooler than old halogen bulbs because they're designed with heat sinks to dissipate heat and prevent buildup. Poor installation—like blocked heat sinks with dirt or improper positioning after modification—could indeed cause heat accumulation that might warp plastic parts or age wiring, but this is rare and unlikely to cause a fire. I recall a friend's older car had some melted plastic near the bulb after an unstable LED installation, but it was fixed promptly. Overall, lights from reputable manufacturers undergo safety tests and have good temperature control. Just check the lamp cleanliness regularly and avoid reckless modifications. Pay attention to your lights while driving, and generally, there shouldn't be major issues.

What are the causes of abnormal noise in the drive axle?

The causes of abnormal noise in the drive axle are: 1. Excessive gear meshing clearance; 2. Insufficient gear meshing clearance; 3. Loose rivets on the driven bevel gear; 4. Wear on the splines between the half-shaft gear and the half-shaft; 5. Gear tooth breakage; 6. Insufficient bearing clearance; 7. Excessive clearance in the differential housing support bearings. The functions of the drive axle are: 1. Transmitting the engine torque from the universal drive assembly to the driving wheels via the main reducer, differential, and half-shafts, thereby reducing speed and increasing torque; 2. Changing the direction of torque transmission through the bevel gear pair of the main reducer; 3. Enabling differential action between the two wheels via the differential, ensuring that the inner and outer wheels turn at different speeds; 4. Supporting and transmitting torque through the axle housing and wheels.

Are There Any Disadvantages to Replacing the Windshield?

Replacing the windshield has disadvantages, such as increased wind noise while driving. Methods for maintaining the car windshield include: 1. Use specialized or suitable wiper blades and replace them promptly; 2. Keep the windshield clean; 3. Use automotive-specific glass cleaner. Precautions for windshield replacement are: 1. To prevent air or water leaks, avoid washing the car for three days, and remove the tape securing the windshield after three days; 2. Drive smoothly, avoiding sudden braking and rapid acceleration; 3. Try to avoid driving on excessively bumpy roads to prevent windshield displacement; 4. Keep the maximum speed below 80 km/h and avoid highway driving; 5. After replacing the rear windshield, do not open windows while driving for the first three days to prevent displacement due to wind pressure; 6. Do not insert parking permits or other cards into the gap between the windshield and the dashboard.
