Light Bulbs

This may sound stupid.... But...

For the brake light, let's say it goes out, how exactly do you replace the bulb? (I can't find it anywhere in the manual)

And for Winjet headlight, let's say the little brow is burned out, how exactly do you change it?

Just curious.. Not really good with these stuff

you buy new housings. seriously. both use led's for those parts, and are not considered user-serviceable parts.

Hopefully you have it warrantied. LEDs usually have a really long life though so they'll likely outlive the ownership of the car.

the lifespan of led's really depends on 2 major factors. the quality of the led's, and the amount of heat they're subjected to.

the headlight leds, being that they're aftermarket could be affected by both factors and die very quickly. i don't know which led's they use for that, though many aftermarket housings use really low quality led's for drl's like that..

the tail light led's will use quality led's because those are an oem product-- typically philips lumiled-- either their standard lumiled product, or snap led. haven't opened my set up yet.. either way, they can take a massive amount of abuse and still last well past the lifespan of the car without issue..
