It may not be top of mind when it comes to vehicle maintenance, but your headlights are important. Not only do they help you see when you’re driving in dark, or low-visibility conditions, they help you to be seen by other drivers on the road. When they start to get dim, or worse, if one of them goes out, don’t delay in getting them replaced! Join the service experts here at Avenue Nissan, as we take a look at why it’s important to get your headlight bulbs replaced promptly.
What Are Signs My Headlight Bulbs Need Replaced?
There are a few early warning signs your headlights may need to be replaced, before one or both of them burn out completely. If your headlights seem dimmer than usual, but aren’t dirty, it could be that the filaments in the bulbs are weakening. Likewise, flickering is a sign of a worn out or damaged bulb. If the low beams work okay, but the high beams aren’t, that could also be a sign there’s a burnt out bulb. It’s worth noting some of these are also signs of electrical issues, so it may be a good idea to bring your vehicle in for an inspection if you notice issues with your lighting – especially if you also keep blowing fuses.
How Often Should I Replace My Bulbs?
Bulbs for headlights actually generally last a good long while. Unlike, say, your oil or filters, they generally only require replacement when it’s needed. It is recommended that they get replaced in pairs, however, as if one has died, the other is almost certainly near the end of its life as well.
