In this article, we will look at replacing the bulbs, headlights, lamps and interior lights of the car.

The headlight units use optics with clear glass.

The headlight lens is smooth and does not perform the function of distributing the light beams.

It is made of plastic that is more transparent and lighter than a glass lens.

The direction indicators built into the headlight units are made without coloured filters; instead, bulbs with glass of a certain colour are used.

In the optional version, the vehicles are equipped with fog lights installed in the lower part of the bumper.

The fog lights can only be switched on with the steering column switch when the exterior lighting is on.

Replacing bulbs in the headlight unit

Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
