Replacing dimensional lamps from restyling and dorestayling models of cars is slightly different. Experienced drivers argue that replacing the light bulbs on Restayle is a bit more complicated. It should be noted that the front light bulbs there are no compounds. If you look at the edge of the headlights, then there will be detailed information about the light bulb. If you do not trust inscriptions, then wipe the glass and look at yourself.
How to replace overall light bulbs - Dorestayl
- Open the hood and remove the "-" terminal from the battery. This is done for security. The terminal needs to be removed always when you spend your work with the electrician.
- Remove the plugs that go to the light bulbs.
- On this similarity, the operation relating to the replacement of both the head and front light is ends. To replace the front overall lights, remove the "patch" into which the plug is inserted.
- Tighten the light bulb (clockwise by 45-60 degrees) and remove it. Please note the light bulb is just pulling out. Do not confuse, the nest turns along with it and then pulls out.
- Install a new light bulb. Put the plug back and return to your places.
- We recommend starting the procedure for replacing lamps from the other side where the battery is not installed. The fact is that he interferes a little, and if you begin to work on the other hand, you can pre-practice. Replacing the light bulbs, do not be thrown behind the glass - traces will remain, which will affect the quality of light.
Replacing the front overall lamps - Restayl
The cartridge with a lamp in restyled models usually gets much more difficult. First, it is small, and secondly, it's not easy to reach it. For him, it is necessary to take well and, swaying up and down, pull out. In restying models you do not need to turn anything. Start you need from the other side where the washer tank is located. After that, you can proceed to the headlamp located on the side of the battery. The cartridge is harder from this side, as it rests on the housing. Try it to direct a little up, using the right hand, it will facilitate the task.
The cartridge is not necessary to remove the hand - you can use the tool. On the cartridge in which the lamp is installed, there is a protrusion. Take a long screwdriver with flat sting. Cook for the protrusion protruding and pull the cartridge on the lever system. The lamp is removed simply up.
Causes of replacement of lamps of overall lights
LED lamps outpace standard incandescent lamps. The reasons for the replacement may be set. Someone wants such a way to protuluning the car, making her dimensions whiter and brighter, that in a pair with a cold xenon looks just fine. Someone does not suit the standard service life of incandescent bulbs (from 500 to 1000 hours). Others believe that if you save on energy consumed, it will affect the decrease in fuel consumption. And others simply support technical progress.
Criteria for the choice of overall lamps
To properly select lamps for overall lights, consider such parameters:
- Brightness of lamps. It is estimated on the light stream and is measured in lumens. An ordinary incandescent lamp has a luminous stream of 50 lm. Your overall lights are designed to designate the dimensions of the car. They should not blind the participants of the movement. That is why dimensions should not emit a light flux of more than 150 lm. The optimal value is from 50 to 100 lm.
- Lamp design. Cheap Chinese lamps have a plastic base, which can be melted from the heating of the lamp. More expensive models are equipped with a cessing of plastic heat resistant. Note, with a highly large brightness of the incandescent lamp will give a heat capable of melting the ceiling. There are novelties in the form of lamps without bases. Their contacts are performed on a glassboard firmware.
- Price. Do not buy too cheap lamps, otherwise they will be changed very often. Do not buy lamps with Aliexpress - you risk getting a fake, in which there is no current stabilization. Decent lamps are manufactured by Phillips and OSRAM. Do not buy too expensive lamps: they have a large brightness and low life.
