From 1887, a driving member lost in the dark wilderness, a farmer led him to use portable lights home to today's automotive group lens lights, xenon headlights, automotive lighting technology is almost always move forward in parallel with the auto industry forward. However, due to the cost of production vehicle to be controlled so many vehicles at the factory can get the lighting effects are not the owner's satisfaction, then the light modification industry came into being.

Comes to light conversion, in fact nothing more than the following methods:

First, the increasing power of the original car bulbs

Recommendation Index ★

The most common car before the general lighting wattage lamps are 55W or so, basically to meet the needs of most of the lighting.  But some owners feel that the lights not bright enough, so he secretly replaced the lamp 60W, 100W, or even higher, when the brightness of lights significantly improved though, can also greatly increased risks.

Increase the wattage, current and heat multiplied, resulting in accelerated light aging and melting head, returned to the generator, Fuse, battery caused an excessive burden, many spontaneous conversion of vehicles are due to random result.Therefore, the lights of the upgrade should not increase the wattage of the original car lights as a precondition.Basically, we do not recommend this approach to the lights brighten, if you insist on increasing the wattage of light bulbs, we advise you to power control in 10%.

Second, imports of light bulbs Dress

Recommendation ★ ★

Some lamp manufacturers often heard claims that their bulbs in the same power consumption, raising more than 50% brightness, and all this only need to replace a light bulb.  If you see a similar ad, do not all believe, because the author is one of the victims.

Dress imported bulbs, the brightness does increase slightly than before, and the color of the light can also have multiple choices, if your child good night's eyes, but not ready for the lights, then a hard Zachu, it should is a good choice, this is the most important modification would not cause unnecessary trouble annual inspection. Therefore, we recommend primary reference for enthusiasts.

Third, the installation of lights Zengliang

Recommendation ★ ★ ★

Modifications made to the shop when you spend less money when the lights changed, the business often recommend to you called lights Zengliang stuff, tube no matter heard the following story with you to understand.

A friend has just changed the headlight brightness enhancement device, to prove to me that he had a great deal Hua Xiaoqian accounts, so than similar lights out at midnight. Results We found a night alongside the car parked in the area of the parking lot, I did not do any reform of the Jetta lights (quote; picture) and he added a Zengliang Sail into a one stop, and open beam lights a ratio, my friend said nothing and left U-turn, from the thing we do not mention the Zengliang.  His teeth, said: "Next time does not change the xenon headlamps, a brother would never see you again!" Later I heard he went to Auto City, spend 50 dollars to be back for the original light of the matter.  Through this personal experience to tell me, do not superstitious so-called advanced device, Zengliang highlighted may be able to play some of the results, but it would be no businesses are touted as "God"!

Fourth, through the installation lens lighting

Recommendation ★ ★ ★ ★

Modification are very popular nowadays called "angel eyes" light lens assembly.  Is modeled on the BMW car lighting systems, lighting in the conventional basis of the lens, and the installation of a light-emitting LED light circle, a distance of four lights in a circle.

In fact, the headlight lens assembly has long been popular style, this kind of reflection than conventional lighting system has better lighting effects, light concentration, light bulb through the lens after reflection is more penetrating and clear and tidy cut-off line of the vehicles will not have a strong sense of glare.

But disadvantage is the relatively high cost of conversion, but also two or three thousand dollars cheaper and does not apply to all owners, and manufacturers are now producing quality is also good and the bad, poor quality of the lens assembly may not achieve light results, but also to the safety and security.

Fifth, xenon headlights conversion

Recommendation ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Xenon is only a general term, because the market price of 1,500 yuan from the domestic to import on a million of money called HID xenon lamp, so we must be doubly cautious when purchasing options.

HID xenon lamp, gas discharge, said study headlights, which is enclosed in the quartz tube with high pressure xenon gas instead of the traditional tungsten filament. It is not tungsten wire, there is no blow by oxidation and concerns, is very durable; its high brightness, the brightness of the lights are generally 2-3 times.

Tips

Some owners like xenon headlamps lighting effect, that can shake the driver across the halo is a good light, in fact everyone knows, so that unauthorized alterations xenon headlamps, not only in foreign countries is illegal, even in the country will also be difficult to pass the annual inspection of vehicles punishment. As a high intensity xenon lamp lighting, scattered like bright lights will stimulate the eye opposite to their own drivers, but accident prone, so abroad, requires the installation of a xenon lamp equipped vehicles but also a group of the lens system to allow vehicles to range of light exposure is more concentrated. Therefore, a single xenon lamp modification is not desirable, if want to improve the car 's lighting system, but also long-term perspective.
