The exterior lighting and glass on this C-segment hatchback integrate advanced sensors and safety technologies. This page explains what owners need to know about BYD DOLPHIN headlight repair, tail light maintenance, and windscreen replacements.
Because the glass and lights are tied to the vehicle’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), replacing them is not a simple task. High-voltage components must not be opened by owners. Confirm with an authorised BYD dealer for all complex bodywork and electrical repairs. Check your owner’s manual for instructions on operating the lights and wipers.

BYD DOLPHIN headlight repair
The vehicle is equipped with LED headlights and daytime running lights (DRLs), complemented by an Intelligent High Beam Control system. A BYD DOLPHIN headlight repair is necessary if the lens is cracked in an impact or if the LED units fail.
Sealed LED units require the entire housing to be swapped out. Furthermore, the headlights must be aimed correctly so as not to dazzle oncoming traffic. Confirm with an authorised BYD service centre to arrange a replacement. BYD’s own procedure applies to ensuring the Intelligent High Beam Control functions seamlessly after a repair.
BYD DOLPHIN tail light repair
The rear of the car features distinctive LED tail lights. If the brake lights, indicators, or reversing lights stop working, it creates a serious safety hazard. A BYD DOLPHIN tail light repair follows a similar process to the front lights, and can require a full unit replacement if the internal LEDs burn out. Check your owner’s manual to verify if any specific fuses correspond to the rear lighting circuit before booking a repair.
BYD DOLPHIN windscreen repair
A stone chip or crack necessitates a BYD DOLPHIN windscreen repair or replacement. The windscreen is a critical component because it houses the forward-facing camera and radar used by the Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) and Lane Departure Assist (LDA) systems.
If the glass is replaced, the ADAS cameras must be precisely recalibrated. A standard glass fitter may not have the required software. Confirm with an authorised BYD dealer or an approved specialist to ensure the safety systems operate correctly after the new glass is fitted.
Panoramic roof and privacy glass
The Design trim includes a panoramic roof with a built-in sunshade, as well as rear and rear-side privacy glass. If the panoramic glass is damaged, it requires specialist lifting equipment and sealants to replace. Do not attempt to repair roof glass yourself.
Warning signs and owner checks
Owners should regularly inspect the exterior of this fully electric car.
What owners can safely check:
- Walk around the vehicle to confirm all LED lights are functioning.
- Inspect the windscreen for small chips that could develop into cracks.
- Clean the glass in front of the ADAS cameras and rain-sensing wipers.
