Taillight action
The taillight is an important lighting device at the rear of the vehicle. Its main functions include the following aspects:
Warning rear coming
The main function of the taillight is to signal the rear vehicles and pedestrians to remind them of the presence, position, direction of travel and possible actions (such as steering, braking, etc.) of the car. This helps to reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.
Improve visibility
In low-light environments or adverse weather conditions (such as fog, rain or snow), taillights can significantly improve vehicle visibility and ensure that other road users can spot the vehicle in time, thereby enhancing driving safety.
indicates vehicle width
Taillights are usually designed to clearly show the width of the vehicle and help the rear vehicle judge its position and distance, especially at night or in poor visibility.
enhance recognition
The taillight design of different models and brands has its own characteristics, which not only improves the beauty of the vehicle, but also enhances the recognition of the vehicle when driving at night, which is easy to identify other drivers.
Assisted observation
The reverse lights in the taillights provide illumination when the vehicle is in reverse, helping the driver to observe the road behind him and warning other road users that the vehicle is or is about to reverse.
Aerodynamic design
Some taillights are also designed with aerodynamic principles in mind, helping to reduce air resistance, thereby reducing energy consumption and improving the stability of the vehicle.
To sum up, taillights are not only an important part of vehicle safety, but also play a key role in improving visibility, enhancing recognition and optimizing vehicle performance.
Whether the broken taillight shade needs to be replaced entirely depends on the following factors:
Degree of damage
minor damage : If it is only slight cracks or scratches, you can use glass glue, plastic tape and other materials for simple repair, can still be used normally in the short term.
serious damage : If the lampshade is damaged or broken in a large area, it is recommended to replace it in time, so as not to affect the lighting effect or cause water vapor to enter, resulting in more serious faults such as short circuit.
Taillight structure
non-integrated taillight : If the taillight and shade can be removed separately and the shade is not badly damaged, only the shade can be replaced without replacing the entire taillight assembly.
Integrated taillight : If the taillight and shade are an integrated design and cannot be removed separately, the entire taillight assembly needs to be replaced.
Repair channel
4S stores or professional repair shops : Most 4S stores and repair shops do not offer individual lampshade accessories, and it is usually recommended to replace the entire taillight assembly.
self-replacement : if the taillight is non-integrated and the lampshade damage is light, the owner of the strong hands-on ability can try to buy the lampshade replacement by himself, but pay attention to the matching degree and installation quality.
Safety and regulations
driving safety : taillight lamp cover damage will affect the refraction and brightness of the light, may violate traffic laws and regulations, increase the risk of driving, so it is recommended to repair or replace in time.
Long-term impact : failure to replace the damaged lampshade in time may lead to water vapor entering, resulting in lamp life decline, circuit oxidation and other problems.
Cost considerations
replacement lampshade : The cost of replacing the lampshade alone is low, generally about 200 yuan, but it needs to be based on the model and regional differences.
Replacing the taillight assembly : The cost of replacing the entire taillight assembly is higher, but it can ensure the overall performance and beauty of the taillight.
Sum up
Whether the taillight lamp cover is broken needs to be completely replaced, according to the extent of damage, taillight structure, maintenance channels and costs and other factors. If you are unsure, it is recommended to consult a professional auto repair shop or 4S shop to ensure driving safety and the normal function of the taillight.
