Modification of xenon lamps affects the driver's vision and poses safety risks
"It has been raining in Wenzhou these days, and the visibility when driving at night is not good. The night before yesterday, when I drove from Jinjiang Road to Huimin Road in the city, the lights of the oncoming cars were too bright. I couldn't see anything clearly and almost hit an electric car on the side of the road." Yesterday, Ms. Chen reflected her troubles to reporters.
In fact, xenon lamps have been popular for several years. Many young people have modified their car lights into xenon headlights in pursuit of personalized car decorations. "Many people have installed such lights. I think it is cool to install them, and I have not thought about whether it will cause trouble to others!" During the interview, Xiaolin, who has modified car lights, told reporters.
It is understood that xenon lamps have a longer irradiation distance. If two vehicles are driving head-on and the distance is relatively close, it will easily cause the other party to be dazzled and the line of sight will be unclear, posing safety risks. Master Zhang from a car repair shop on Nanxijiang Road in the urban area told reporters. When regular car modification companies modify xenon lamps on vehicles, they will also install lens decorations so that the light emitted will not shine into the eyes of oncoming drivers.
But in fact, in order to save costs, some car repair shops do not install lenses when modifying xenon lamps. This can easily cause light scattering and seriously interfere with the vision of oncoming drivers.
"In order to save costs, only xenon bulbs are replaced on the car without changing other circuit equipment, which will leave hidden dangers." Master Zhang told reporters that the xenon lamp starts with a pulse-type large current and changes light frequently, causing a pulse current in the circuit, which will directly affect the work of the original car computer. Moreover, the power of xenon lamps is larger than that of ordinary car lights. Once the battery is insufficient, it is easy to cause circuit damage.
Officer Chen from the Wenzhou Traffic Police Brigade also said that unauthorized modification of car lights and installation of xenon headlights is not allowed, as this may affect the safety of others. According to the provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law", a penalty of 20 yuan to 200 yuan can be imposed for unauthorized changes to the shape of a motor vehicle and related registered technical data.
Although LED lights look good, they are expensive to repair once they break down
With the popularity of LED car lights, from LED brake lights to daytime running lights to the most popular full-LED headlights, LED has become one of the important reference options for many people when buying a car. Mr. Zhou, a citizen, has been complaining about this seemingly cool car light recently. What's going on? It turns out that Mr. Zhou, a citizen, bought a luxury brand car three years ago. Some time ago, he found that the headlight was broken. He went to the 4S store and asked. If the headlight needs to be replaced, the assembly needs to be replaced, and the cost is quite high.
Mr. Zhou said, “When I first bought the car, I felt that the shape of the LED lights was better than the halogen lights, and the brightness was much higher.” So Mr. Zhou chose a model with LED lights without much hesitation. Nowadays, it costs about 2,000 yuan to replace the entire car light assembly in a 4S store. Even if it is replaced in an ordinary auto repair shop, it still costs more than 1,500 yuan, while ordinary halogen lamps only cost a few dozen yuan.
An auto repairman told reporters, "The appearance of LED lights is not only dazzling, but the brightness of LED headlights exceeds that of xenon headlights, and the lighting response speed is fast, so the price is relatively high."
The reporter entered "LED turn signal" on Taobao to search and found that the price difference is very large. The LED turn signal set of a luxury brand car costs nearly 15,000 yuan, while the price of most LED turn signal sets is between 2,000 yuan and 3,000 yuan. When entering "LED car lights", the highest price is a headlight assembly of a luxury brand, which is close to 50,000 yuan. There are also many sets of more than 10,000 yuan, most of which are luxury brands.
The auto repairman said that generally speaking, the service life of LED lights is very long, almost the same as the overall life of the vehicle. If it is not damaged by humans, the probability of LED lights breaking is not high, but once it breaks, the cost of repair is quite high.
