The Top 5 Signs Your Car Needs New Headlights

The Top 5 Signs Your Car Needs New Headlights From Your Chrysler Dealer

1. One Headlight Is Out

If you see that one of your headlights isn’t working, the bulb has probably burnt out. It won’t be long before the other bulb also burns out. Headlight bulbs are often replaced in pairs and usually stop working around the same time, so when one bulb stops working, the other is probably already dimmer. To ensure you can see clearly, a good rule of thumb is to replace both bulbs simultaneously and ensure an even spread of light and proper visibility at night.

2. Your Car’s Headlights Are Dim

If your headlights seem dimmer than they usually are, the covers might be dirty or scratched, preventing the light from shining through, or it’s a sign that the bulbs need replacing.

If you checked and cleaned the covers, replaced the bulbs, and still have headlight brightness issues, ask your Chrysler technician to inspect the headlights. A wiring problem could also cause your car’s headlights to dim and affect the brightness.

3. Your Headlights Are Flickering

Worn or damaged bulb filament will cause your headlights to flicker. The bulb is on its way out and will need replacing soon before it stops working altogether. Ask your Chrysler technician to check the connection if you’ve replaced the bulb but are still struggling with flickering headlights. A bad connection can also cause your headlights to flicker.

4. The High Beams Are Not Working

If your low beams are working just fine, but nothing happens when you switch to high beams, it could be that one of the bulbs is burned out, a fuse is blown, or there’s a wiring problem. Change the bulb, check the fuses, and ask your Chrysler technician to sort out the problem if the high beams are still not working.

5. You’re Struggling With Blown Fuses

If you have problems with your car’s headlights and the fuses keep blowing, a wiring or an electrical issue needs urgent attention. Your Chrysler technician will quickly find and repair the problem.

Don’t allow headlight problems to affect your safety on the road. When your headlights grow dim or flicker, replace both bulbs simultaneously and get regular headlight inspections from your Chrysler technician to ensure you have all the visibility at night and in bad weather when you need it most. Swing by Blue Ribbon Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram today for a thorough headlight inspection performed by certified technicians.
