How to choose a car lamp?
Low beam and high beam in the car play a major role, providing safe movement. As we all know, since November 2010 entered into force amendments to the SDA, requires that all vehicles at any time of the day and on any road has always been included in either the dipped headlights or daytime running lights. Accordingly, the head lamp must be replaced more often than other car light. And here the owner of blown bulbs a number of questions arise : what type of lamp you need to put what the company is, with what properties, etc.
So, to start, to determine the type of automotive bulb that is in your car there are several ways. The easiest way is to go to a specialty shop and show off your lamp, there you and tell you what it's for type.
Another way is to pick the type of lamp yourself by using the directory on the applicability of the lamps.
And the last option is to look at the user manual for your car.
After the type of lamps specified, we proceed to the choice of the manufacturer. The whole market of automotive lamps is divided into 3 segments:
premium bulbs of famous brands such as OSRAM, PHILIPS, GE, etc.
budget lamp – BOCXOD, lighthouse, Nord Yada etc.
and economy lamps that do not have a particular brand
To choose one or the other segment buyer decide based on your budget, but the quality of the lamp is determined by certain features.
First the lamp must have a certificate of the Customs Union, this means that the lamp has passed all necessary laboratory tests and are suitable for use without harm to your security. Manufacturers that do not have these certificates, do not produce high-quality lamp, which can lead to a number of troubles.
Also on the base of the lamp should be information that meets the requirements of Regulation ECE R 37:

The next thing you should pay attention to this power and luminous efficiency of avtolampy. In the domestic market can be purchased avtolampy as standard wattage ( 60/55 ) and increased ( 90/100 ). Since the increased power auto lamps affect the electrical parts of the machine, currently produced lamps with standard capacity and increased luminous efficiency. Currently a very large selection of car lamps with increased luminous flux from +30% to +100%. It is recommended to install such avtolampy, because they significantly improve visibility at night while riding without damaging the electrical parts of the machine.
Choosing avtolampy, it is necessary to determine how much they need to buy one or two. As is known, the lifetime at the same autolam not much different. So if you have a burned out one bulb, then we can expect that the second will fail. Besides, during the operation of the halogen automobile bulbs..., its light output may change, and the result is the difference of coverage of the two auto lamps. Better buy two avtolampy to avoid various troubles.
