To replace the headlights, open the hood and locate the headlight assembly. Remove the electrical connector by pressing the release tab. Unscrew the retaining ring or bolts holding the bulb in place. Carefully remove the old bulb and insert the new one, ensuring it is properly seated. Reattach the retaining ring or bolts and reconnect the electrical connector. Test the headlights before closing the hood.

If your engine overheats, immediately turn off the air conditioning and turn on the heater to draw heat away from the engine. Pull over safely and turn off the engine. Check the coolant level and add coolant if necessary, but only when the engine is cool. Inspect for leaks or damaged hoses. If the issue persists, contact a professional mechanic for further diagnostics.

To optimize performance, use high-quality fuel and synthetic oil for better engine efficiency. Regularly check and maintain tire pressure to improve fuel economy. Upgrade to performance air filters and exhaust systems for enhanced airflow. Ensure timely servicing of the transmission and suspension systems. Avoid aggressive driving and excessive idling to prolong engine life.
