At night it is very important that our headlights illuminate the road well to see where we are going and to see us too. So it is a problem and a danger to our car lights illuminate little. Usually this problem is generated by a misalignment of the main focuses, this can easily be repaired by yourself or by our head mechanic, adjusting the height and direction with the throttles at their disposal the spotlight.
Also this low light intensity can be impaired by mica focus by sun exposure. Polycarbonate focus loses transparency over time, but can be polished with abrasive leaving virtually as new.
A bad solution is that some drivers take the power-up of the vials. If the vehicle uses original bulbs 55 Watts up to the 100 watts. That is not at all recommended for the following reasons:
- Going up the watts of the bulb twice the temperature of the vial twice also rises, usually the focus where these bulbs are installed are designed to dissipate twice the temperature for which they were not designed, and as Consequently the bulb burns out or any part of the outbreak or the socket by excessive heat melts.
- also to raise the power of the bulb must carry the current rises cables, these cables were not designed to work at twice the amperage and could cause a fire due to overheating.
- switches the lights that are on the remote suffer overheating from excessive current through them. Changing a remote is expensive and in some cases there is no spare older vehicles.
As a recommendation, check the alignment of the main focuses and the wiring for loose or dirty connections that could lower the intensity of the lights, raise the power of the bulbs and if the problem still continues to install some Fog lights to help main focuses, properly installed by automotive electrician.
