Headlights are one of the most important components of a car, because safety on the road directly depends on their condition and quality. Therefore, when replacing headlights, it is important to choose them correctly.
Instructions
Step 1
First, decide what kind of headlight you want to buy. If this is a fog lamp, then when choosing it, remember that xenon lamps are not allowed inside such devices. They disrupt the focus of the lamp, while the main purpose of such headlights is lost - to ensure the visibility of the road in bad weather conditions.
Step 2
When choosing rear fog lamps, pay attention to the wattage of the lamps installed in them. Remember that it is prohibited to connect them together with brake lights. Sufficiently powerful lamps will irritate car drivers who are driving behind, and low-powered ones may not have enough useful effect.
Step 3
When choosing low-beam headlights, pay attention to those with transparent glass, in which the beam is formed on the surface of the reflector with a relief. This type of headlights provides an increase in the luminous flux due to the same brightness over the entire surface.
Step 4
When choosing high beam headlights, you need to consider the type of roads on which you mainly travel at night. If these are highways and freeways, then the maximum beam range is necessary here. In this case, purchase headlights with a narrow beam, in which the main aperture is directed to ensure the greatest range.
Step 5
When driving on secondary roads, opt for headlights that have a wide beam that provides excellent visibility to the often troublesome side of the road. If necessary, you can install additional spotlights that will provide you with an additional range of the light beam.
Step 6
For daytime running lights, the main selection criteria are power consumption and design. Their main purpose is to mark a vehicle during daylight hours. They help reduce wear on the headlights and reduce energy consumption.
