A sealed beam headlight may smoke when switched on due to overheating, which can occur if there's a short circuit or if the bulb is drawing too much current. This overheating can cause the internal components of the sealed beam to break down, leading to the release of smoke. Additionally, if the glass lens is cracked or damaged, moisture can enter and cause internal failure. It's important to replace the sealed beam unit to prevent further electrical issues or fire hazards.

How do you turn the full beam on whilst driving a Volvo v40?
If your full beam doesn't stay on, make sure your light switch on the console is actually turned to "on". Unless you've had the daytime running lights disabled, then the lights will be on when switched "off" (!) and this means the full beam doesn't lock on, it only does "flash" mode. When the lights are switched "on", then the full beam should stay on.
Do negative lenses diverge?
Actually the negative lens just sits there. It causes a parallel beam of light to diverge. It causes a convergent beam to converge less. It causes a divergent beam to diverge more.
