The headlights on new cars are encouraging, but, unfortunately, the vehicle fleet in Russia consists mainly of cars older than 10 years; in 2021, the average age has almost reached 14 years. In old cars, the headlights often do not suit the owners.
The most interesting thing is that on the same car model, approximately the same year of manufacture, the headlights shine differently – some are brighter, some are dimmer.
First of all, I want to radically correct the situation:
- buy new headlights;
- change the lamps to xenon;
- do polishing;
- Solder some kind of microcircuit to improve the light.
But new headlights are expensive, xenon in conventional headlights shines in an unknown direction, the headlights melt from it, soldering the microcircuit requires skill, polishing does not help. Even new headlights often do not solve the problem – the light remains dim as it was.
Comparing your dim headlights with the bright light on another car of the same model, it becomes clear that the problem is not the light bulbs at all – something happened to the car’s on-board network.
