As various high technologies are reflected in newly launched models in recent years, it has been found that the configuration of cars is getting dazzling and attracting more and more attention. However, slowly, many car owners began to discover that these high-tech products caused the maintenance cost of the car to skyrocket. The most popular LED lamp in recent years is a typical example. Many owners reported to reporters that their new models use LED lamp design, but after about two years of use, after the bulbs burned out, even if they went to the accessories market, they could not buy individual bulbs to replace. Instead, they needed to replace the entire assembly. The replacement cost is as high as 1,000 yuan. The high maintenance cost brought about by high technology has made some car owners have to use some extreme deception methods to reduce their maintenance costs.
Case replay
LED turn signal maintenance costs up to 2000 yuan
Recently, Mr. Li, a BMW owner, told reporters that his wife ’s BMW 320i drove about 20,000 kilometers. The turn signal on the right and back of the car suddenly "blinded" last month. It turned out that the original car bulb burned out. In his experience, it costs only tens of yuan to get a new bulb in the accessories market. But things are not as simple as he imagined. The accessory suppliers on the market told him that the LED turn signals used in the new BMW cannot be replaced individually, and only the entire assembly can be replaced if they are replaced. The replacement of 4S shop is more than 2000 yuan. That is to say, in the vehicles using LED lights, if the turn signals and brake light bulbs break down, the replacement cost will skyrocket from the previous tens of yuan.
New Crown owner Wang also had the same experience. His vehicle has been used for more than 1 year, but he was informed by the repair shop when he was about to replace it because the turn signal bulb burned out a few days ago. Currently, models equipped with LED lights cannot be replaced by a separate bulb like the old model. There is no choice but to replace the entire assembly. The cost of replacing the Crown LED lamp assembly, non-4S stores offer has exceeded 1,000 yuan, and if the old Crown models encounter the same failure, only need to replace the bulb separately, the cost is only a few tens of yuan.
Expert advice
Pay attention to the best time to replace the LED lights
Mr. Dai, a maintenance expert in automotive lighting systems, told reporters that the design concept of auto parts manufacturing, including lighting systems, has formed a trend that more and more parts are difficult to replace locally, and the entire assembly needs to be replaced every now and then. Therefore, the supply of spare parts on the market will also evolve towards OEM maintenance solutions.
Compared with traditional bulbs used in old cars, LED lamps have the advantages of long service life, better lighting effect and more beautiful appearance. When the car headlights are used, the heat generated is very large, resulting in a high temperature around them, and the heat dissipation is not very fast. The normal operating temperature of the LED display lights made by LE D is below 60 ℃. When the temperature exceeds 60 ℃, the LED work is not stable. Therefore, the biggest factor that affects the efficiency and life of LED car lighting is temperature. Therefore, if the surrounding temperature of the car headlight exceeds a certain temperature, the LED will be easily burned out, and sometimes the base of the LED lamp will be burned directly. For most vehicles using LED lights, if the diode is seriously damaged, it is necessary to replace the assembly directly. Therefore, it is recommended to choose LED width lights with good thermal conductivity. Moreover, when using LED lights, if not all of the lights are off, the entire assembly can be replaced when the number of faulty lights affects the use effect, thereby reducing the maintenance cost to a minimum.
Owner's view
The owner is dissatisfied that the LED light is broken and can only replace the assembly
For car owners, the cost of repair and replacement caused by high technology has skyrocketed, making them feel helpless. Some car owners are even more forced to adopt the "deception" method to reduce maintenance costs.
The owner, Mr. Xiao, told reporters that because his original LED turn signal did not turn on, he was told to replace the whole assembly when he went to the repair shop. He had replaced it once when he did not have LED lights a few years ago. Only need to replace the problematic bulb. But now as long as there is a problem with the LED lights, the entire assembly must be replaced, and the cost has soared from tens of yuan to thousands of yuan. He felt very unwilling to pay for such maintenance costs.
Some car owners who are dissatisfied with the replacement cost of LED lights have passed on their maintenance costs through other methods. Mr. Tan told reporters in private that because the dissatisfaction with replacing the LED lamp assembly was too expensive, he had to accidentally collide in a parking accident in the community and risked through the insurance company, thus transferring these expensive repair costs to the other party.
