The title is not do-it-yourself repair, then there must be a do-it-yourself repair case, pay tribute to another cyclist, gave me unlimited inspiration and ideas, but the hands-on ability is poor, can only choose the second place. Hands-on paste as follows, you can refer to and learn.

My BMW 5 Series was purchased in May 18 and enjoys luxury.
After 21 years of insurance, the daily light strip on the inside of the main driver’s seat began to turn yellow in November. After contacting the 4S store, I was informed after inspection that the light belt may be broken, or the module may be broken. Maintenance cost, replace the headlamp assembly 2W, module 1W +. But I don’t know what’s wrong, because the cost of testing is 400. So he drove away.

The status of last November, the picture has been deleted, borrow the photos of forum riders.

As a result, shameless I consult the maintenance of the sales brother, take insurance, answer, find a rainy day, hit by yourself, why if it is rainy, because only water can burn out the module for you, otherwise you can only pay for the assembly, the module or at your own expense. But the morality also has the heartache to the car, the mistrust to own driving art, I do not believe that I only hit the headlights, so I did not adopt it. And the younger brother told me later, the master said, even if you take insurance, the probability of claiming to the module is also very low. So I advised everyone to stop thinking about it. It’s better to be down to earth.

This picture is only for segmentation.

The repair of the car was delayed because of the work epidemic and so on. This foreshadowed me for more damage in the future. This month, I suddenly found that the light that had turned yellow was not bright. The yellowing began to spread to another light belt. I feel like I have to fix it. So I began to delve into it and found the post just recommended. Now that I have an idea, I will begin my road of repair.

In the state of 3 months, the inside is no longer bright and the outside is yellow.

According to the hands-on brother’s post, I know to change the light guide bar, so a treasure search G38 daily light guide bar, 100 + one, a little expensive. Bought two, please communicate clearly with the seller, including the module.

That’s the thing.

In the communication with the seller, I learned that the module (150 + daylight source) is also divided around. It may also burn out. It is recommended to buy it at the same time. You can return it if you don’t need it. Give likes to the seller here. Thoughtful, that’s what business is supposed to do. Your interests are above my convenience.

My module, the left side has been burned and turned yellow, and the right side has melted. ?

Tip: find a seller with a better attitude and ask the seller to help you find a local partner or a non-professional store. Mine is the seller’s agreed price of 300 installation fee (I think it’s worth it).

In the process of dismantling the car, it was troublesome to dismantle the car, and the master was more patient, but he repeatedly comforted me not to worry.

In fact, the lamp was removed for a long time, and then the module and the light guide strip were burned after inspection.

One side melts and the other turns yellow, so the yellowing is because it is yellowed.

The module is shown in the picture.

Then the chef started baking the lamp, baked the oven three times before turning it on, and then changed the light guide bar. Re-clean the seal. (looking for a better qualified shop, I specialize in repairing car lights, as well as Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz E, made in China at the same time.) after loading the car, as shown in the picture.

I just finished loading it. I don’t know why it’s so light. In fact, it is because the lights on the left are not clean and muddy water is attached, or let the master remove it and re-align the light source and light guide bar. So the master is also very important.

After cleaning up, the picture of the street is as follows, in fact, there is still chromatic aberration, I am ready to continue to toss.

There’s no chromatic aberration in this picture, but it’s pretty obvious in the garage.

Conclusion: it is definitely not cost-effective at your own expense. Everyone makes their own decision on insurance and does not recommend it, so that the loss will not outweigh the gain. It is also illegal to cheat insurance.
Cost: lamp strip? The module costs less than 400 yuan. 300 yuan for installation. The total is 690 yuan.
Time: about 4 hours.
Note:
1. The light guide strip should be all right, and the production is more mature. It’s not very technical.
2, the module (also known as the daylight source) separates the car parts from the auxiliary factory. The power of the auxiliary factory is small, it is not so bright, but there is no possibility to continue burning. The parts dismantled by the original factory must be brighter. But it may continue to burn.
3, if you don’t pursue perfection, just like me. If the pursuit of perfection, change two modules, once and for all. You don’t have to turn on the light to change the module, and you don’t have to remove the bumper. It’s simple.
4, the pursuit of perfection, can be a treasure light bar, a fish looking for dismantling parts, the front and back of the original module is for reference only, 18 models 530 enjoy luxury, other car friends can check.
Repair the car as soon as possible.
