Headlights serve as an important safety guarantee for driving at night or in low-visibility conditions, and their normal operation is crucial. Once a headlight fails, it will not only affect the driver's vision and increase driving risks, but may also violate traffic regulations and be punished.

1. Identification of common faults in headlights

Burnt out bulb: This is one of the most common headlight failures, which manifests as the headlight not lighting up or the brightness is significantly reduced.

Circuit failure: The headlight circuit is aging, broken, or has poor contact, which may cause the headlight to fail to light up normally.

Damaged headlight switch: A faulty headlight switch may cause the headlights to fail to turn on or remain on after being turned off.

Headlight adjuster failure: The headlight adjuster is responsible for adjusting the illumination angle and height of the headlights. A malfunction may cause the headlight illumination direction to deviate.

Damage to the headlight assembly: The headlight assembly includes components such as bulbs, lampshades, reflectors, etc. Damage to any one component may affect the performance of the headlights.

2. Emergency measures

Check the bulbs: First check whether the headlight bulbs are burned out. If the bulb is damaged, replace it with a new one of the same specification. Note that when replacing the light bulb, turn off the vehicle power supply first to avoid electric shock.

Check the circuit: If the bulb is normal, check whether the headlight circuit is aged, broken or has poor contact. If any line problems are found, they should be repaired or replaced in time.

Check the switch: If the circuit is normal, check whether the headlight switch is damaged. If the switch fails, replace it with a new one.

Adjust the headlight angle: If the headlight illumination direction is deviated, the headlight regulator may be faulty. At this time, you can use the headlight adjustment tool to adjust the headlight angle according to the vehicle manual.

Check the headlight assembly: If the above measures are ineffective, the headlight assembly may be damaged. At this time, you should contact a professional repair shop to inspect and repair the headlight assembly.

3. Preventive measures

Regular inspection: Car owners should regularly inspect the headlights, including bulbs, wiring, switches and headlight assemblies, to ensure that the headlights are in good condition.

Note on use: Avoid using the headlights for a long time in bad weather conditions to reduce headlight wear and aging. At the same time, be careful not to use high-power bulbs to avoid damaging the headlight circuit.

Cleaning and maintenance: Clean the surface of the headlights regularly to remove dirt and dust and maintain the light transmittance of the headlights. At the same time, check the sealing of the headlights to prevent water vapor from entering the interior of the headlights.

Professional repair: If the headlight fails, you should contact a professional repair shop for repair. Avoid disassembling the headlight assembly by yourself to avoid damaging the headlight components or causing safety hazards.
