Note: The headlamps are equipped with halogen bulbs - incandescent bulbs. A buffer gas - halogen vapors - is added to their cylinders (bromine or iodine), which increases the lamp life to 2000-4000 h and allows to increase the spiral temperature. In this case, the working temperature of the spiral is approximately 3000°K.
In a conventional lamp, an electric current passes through a tungsten filament, heating it to a high temperature. As the filament heats up, it begins to glow. However, due to the high operating temperature, tungsten atoms constantly evaporate from the surface of the filament and are deposited (condense) on cooler surfaces of the bulb, limiting the life of the lamp and causing it to darken. In a halogen lamp, the iodine surrounding the filament (together with residual oxygen) chemically combines with the evaporated tungsten atoms, preventing the latter from settling on the bulb. This process is reversible: at high temperatures near the spiral, the compound disintegrates into its constituent substances. Tungsten atoms are released either on the spiral itself or near it. As a result, tungsten atoms return to the spiral, which increases the operating temperature of the lamp (to obtain brighter light) and extend its service life.
1. Open the hood.
2. Disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery.
3. Remove the headlight cover (for clarity, replacing the lamp is shown on a removed headlight).
Note: Shown is replacing the left headlight bulbs. The bulbs in the right headlight are located symmetrically and are replaced in the same way.
4. Remove the spring clip from the hooks on the reflector...
5. ...fold back the latch...
6. ...and remove the headlight bulb.
Warning: Do not touch the bulb with your fingers, as the high temperature of the bulb will cause any contamination of the surface (for example, fingerprints) burn out during operation, leaving blackening. This leads to local increases in the temperature of the flask, which can cause its destruction.
When installing them, you should hold the lamp bulb with a clean cloth (or in clean gloves), and in case of accidental contact, wipe the flask thoroughly with a cloth (for example, from microfiber), leaving no fibres.
