Działanie
Once correctly installed, the Dorman 601-160 HID Headlight Igniter works in conjunction with the HID ballast and bulb to produce high-intensity light. When the headlights are activated, the igniter provides a high-voltage pulse to initiate the arc within the xenon bulb. After the bulb ignites, the ballast regulates the current to maintain stable illumination. The igniter is designed for seamless integration and automatic operation within your vehicle's existing HID system.
Konserwacja
The Dorman 601-160 HID Headlight Igniter is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. Regular maintenance is generally not required for the igniter itself. However, it is advisable to:
- Periodically inspect headlight assemblies for any signs of moisture intrusion or damage to wiring.
- Ensure all electrical connections remain clean and secure.
- Replace the igniter only if it shows signs of failure (e.g., flickering lights, failure to ignite, or complete headlight outage) after confirming the bulb and ballast are functional.
Rozwiązywanie problemów
If you experience issues with your HID headlights, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Możliwa przyczyna | Rozwiązanie |
