When driving at night, it’s, first and foremost, to ensure that you can clearly see every object in front of you. It depends on the lighting capabilities of your car LED headlamp. The brighter the light, the safer to drive. As LED technology advances, LED headlight has been a competitor to the standard halogen light or incandescent. It’s time to change your current one. Before that, you must have a brief understanding of how to install led headlights in car.
How to install led headlights in car? How to install led strip lights in car headlights? How to put led headlights in your car?
The LED headlight conversion kit has step-by-step installation instructions. Whether you ask a mechanic for help or do it by yourself without any experience of installation, following the steps will help you get the best results.
1. Selection of the right kit
There are two LED headlight types to choose from: one is single beam LED headlight, the other is dual beam LED headlight. The LED headlight should match with your current headlight housing/ system. For example, dual-beam bulb comes with both high beam and low beam functions in one dual beam LED headlight. Each headlight assemble has one bulb which can be switched from low to high beam in one headlight and back again. When the headlight is on, the bulb is also on. And you need one dual-beam LED kit.
If it comes with the single beam bulb, it’s used either for high beam or low beam. At this time, each headlight assembly has two bulbs separately performing each function. When the headlight turns on, one of the bulbs is one and the other bulb is off. And you need two single-beam LED kits.
2. Preparation for installation
Park your car 20 feet away from your garage with the headlights on. Mark your headlamp beam on the wall with tape. Your LED headlamp kit includes two bulbs, wires, two ballasts and termination connectors.
Take care to protect the ballast and wires from any possible damage. You can use drill bits or self-tapping screws or double-sided tape to fix the ballast.
3. Install the Headlight
-
Remember to turn off the engine and cut off the power before installation. If the car has just been driven, it is necessary to wait for the car to cool down. Open the engine cover and you can see that there are two dust caps at the positions of the lights on both sides, one is the high beam light and the other is the low beam light, so pay attention to the position of the replaced lights before installation.
-
After unscrewing the dust cover of the low beam headlight, you can see that a plug is inserted into the halogen lamp of the original car. The structure is not complicated and should not be difficult to operate.
-
Then unplug the plug, press the original car spring, this spring is used to fix the bulb in position.
-
After pressing the spring, the original car bulb can be easily taken out.
-
At this time, the original car’s halogen lamp has been dismantled. Here we need to remind you to avoid touching the lamp beads on the LEDs during the replacement of the car lights. Because of the dust and temperature of the human hands, touching the lamp beads will easily lead to the life of the car lights. Become shorter. In addition, do not disassemble the original car bulb immediately after use, because it is very hot and easy to burn your hands.
-
Then separate the chuck on the LED car light and place it in the response position. Pay attention to a small gap on the chuck, just align it, and then press the spring pressure piece to fix the chuck.
-
Insert the car light into the chuck. At this time, pay attention to the small gaps on the chuck and the car light.
-
After inserting the LED car light, you need to rotate and adjust the left and right direction of the lamp beads, that is, vertical installation. Only in this way can the automotive led lights have the correct light pattern, otherwise the light pattern is not right for astigmatism! This is very important!!! Many car owners and even the installers do not understand, mistakenly think it is a problem with the product, in fact, it is caused by incorrect installation.
