The lights on your vehicle are more important than you might realize. When traveling at night or when it is dark out, you will need to have the lights on for the vehicle. This can help to increase the safety of the vehicle because it helps you to see, as well as others to see you. The lights should be inspected to make sure they are bright enough and aimed properly. That way the beam of light can illuminate the view in front of you. If a headlight goes dim and needs to be replaced, it is recommended to replace the other one at the same time. By doing so, you can help ensure that both headlights illuminate the same. Besides inspecting the headlights, also make sure to check the taillights and blinkers. If you notice an issue with any of the lights on the vehicle, make sure to schedule an appointment. We can inspect the lights to ensure they are working as effectively as possible.

 

When checking the headlights, inspect the lenses so they are crystal clear. If you see the lens become more yellow or foggy, it may be time to have the lens replaced. Over time, the headlight lenses will naturally become cloudy. This can diffuse the beams of the headlights. If this happens, it could affect how well the visibility is when you drive. It can also make it harder for other drivers to see you. While the headlights work, they will eventually become dim with age. When you notice the lights dimming significantly, it is time to have them replaced. If you are unsure how bright the lights are, there is an easy way to inspect them. Park on a level surface that is five feet from a building wall or the door of a garage. Then, turn on the headlights. This can tell you how bright the lights are. They should also be bright white. If they have a yellow tinge or are dim, consider replacing the bulbs as soon as you can. Having the lights working efficiently can improve your visibility when you drive. If you notice an issue with the headlights, make sure to bring the vehicle in and we can inspect them for you. This way you can have the best visibility possible when you drive.
