Lamp replacement
Incandescent light bulbs wear out over time. Therefore, every 2 years they must be replaced with new ones, even if they still retain their performance. This does not apply to halogen lamps, which are used in headlights, for example. As a rule, their resource is much higher and they should be replaced only when they fail. The weakening of the light intensity in incandescent lamps is determined by the black deposit on the glass bulb.
Before replacing the exterior light bulb, remove the ground wire from the battery. Remember that if the light bulb has just been on, it may be too hot.
Before replacing an exterior light bulb, check the appropriate electrical circuit and fuse. Do not touch the glass bulb of the lamp with bare hands. The fingerprint evaporates and is deposited on the reflector, resulting in poor lighting. Be sure to replace defective lamps with lamps of the same type. Wipe off any contact stains with a clean, lint-free cloth or alcohol.
When replacing xenon lamps, you must be very careful and careful, as a strong electric shock can be received from the power source of these lamps.
Replacement of gas discharge (xenon) lamps that can be identified by a sticker with a high voltage sign on the lamp body are not recommended to be manufactured by yourself.
Warning: H7 incandescent bulbs are pressurized and may burst during replacement, so gloves and goggles should be worn when replacing these bulbs.
