Just like any other part of your vehicle, your headlights occasionally wear out and need to be replaced. Headlights typically last anywhere from 500 to 1,000 hours, and you never know when one will stop working, so it’s important to keep an eye on this important safety component. When it’s time for new headlights, Coughlin GM of Newark can replace them.

How Can I Tell It’s Time for New Headlights?

Your High Beams No Longer Work

If you can turn on your headlights, but your high beams no longer work, your bulb may have burned out. The other possibility is that you have a wiring issue with your headlights. One of our technicians can take a look and determine what the problem is.

Your Headlights No Longer Emit a Direct, White Light

If your headlights have started giving off a hazy, yellow glow as opposed to a clear, direct beam of light, one of a couple of things could be going on. The headlights could be nearing the end of their life. It’s also possible that dirt and grime have accumulated on the inside of the plastic lens that covers your headlights, and your lights simply need a thorough cleaning.  

Your Headlights Have Started Flickering

Have your headlights started flickering on and off? This can happen shortly before your headlights burn out completely. When you notice blinking or flickering, it’s time to schedule a service appointment for your headlights.

You’re Struggling To Navigate

Headlights start to lose visibility near the end of their life, and the decline can happen so gradually that you don’t initially notice it. But if you regularly find yourself struggling to navigate darkened streets, your headlights may be giving off less light than they used to.
