Basic selection and installation requirements of lamps:
"Driving lights" and "spot lights" are distinguished according to their light type, and they are also the two most commonly used lights.
Among them: the "driving light" has a relatively concentrated light type and a long illuminating distance. At the same time, there have a certain floodlight that can take into account the lighting at close distances. This is our first choice for auxiliary lamps installed on the front bumper of the car, and it is also the main lamp used.
The basic principle of installing front bumper lamps is not to affect the driver's line of sight. The auxiliary lamps installed on the same horizontal line as the original car lights are more beautiful and durable.
"Spotlight" , the beam is very concentrated, the irradiation distance is longer, and there is little floodlight. It is very suitable for installation on the roof rack.
When installing, be very careful that the upper edge of the lamp cannot exceed the extension line of the windshield glass, so as to avoid reflection on the hood, and even cause reflection of the windshield, which constitutes a great obstacle to safe driving. This is why you should choose spotlights on the luggage rack.
The installation process requirements of "auxiliary lamps" are relatively strict, and it is generally recommended to choose a relatively professional modification shop. At the same time, the owner of the vehicle must carefully supervise the construction and be familiar with the wiring and switch positions.
First of all, it is necessary to judge how many extra lamps can be loaded by the data provided by the vehicle generator, so as to avoid insufficient power supply from the generator, and reasonably select a combination of lamps with appropriate power.
The main points of the installation are:
1) Try to avoid using the same with the original car's lamp line. The lamp line must be laid separately, and it must be wrapped with a casing and fixed firmly;
2) The lamp needs to have separate insurance, if possible, pass through the fuse box of the original car, or set up a separate insurance, placed in a reliable and obvious location, the owner must know;
3) A relay must be installed before the switch to realize weak current control and strong current to ensure safety;
4) The switch is independent, try to avoid using it with the original car switch.
5) In addition, if conditions permit, the line should be connected to the original car's "small light controller", so that all auxiliary lights are cut off when the car lock is closed, so as to eliminate the hidden danger of excessive battery discharge caused by forgetting to turn off the lights;
5) It is better to use a plug connection between the lamp and the light wire, which can facilitate the maintenance and temporary removal of the lamp.
