In order to effectively maintain and maintain H7 bulbs, the following steps need to be followed:
1. Avoid touching: The surface of the H7 bulb is sensitive, so when installing or replacing the bulb, it is best to use gloves or a clean cloth to touch the bulb. This prevents the surface of the bulb from being polluted by grease or dirt and prolongs the life of the bulb.
2. Regular cleaning: Dust or dirt accumulated on the surface of the bulb will reduce the brightness of the bulb, so it is very important to clean the bulb regularly. Dust and stains can be removed by gently wiping the surface of the bulb with a clean cloth or special glass cleaner.
3. Replace the bulb regularly: Each H7 bulb has a marked service life, usually calculated in hours. Once it reaches the end of its useful life, the bulb's brightness becomes weak or it loses its lighting effect altogether. So it is very important to replace the light bulb in time to maintain good lighting effect.
4. Avoid overheating: overheating the H7 bulb can cause it to be damaged or not work properly. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid using the H7 bulb for a long time when the bulb is hot.

6. Keep the bulb cool: H7 bulbs tend to generate heat during use, so it is very important to keep good ventilation around the bulb. Make sure your vehicle's cooling system is working properly, and you can reduce bulb heat by regularly cleaning the radiator and fan.
In short, the effective maintenance of H7 bulbs requires attention to the temperature of the bulb, the use time, the replacement cycle, and the safe operating procedures etc.Only the correct use and maintenance of H7 bulbs can ensure that they are always in the best condition and extend their service life.
