Through rain, snow, or dark nights, having reliable headlights is crucial. Recognizing when to get new headlights from the RAM dealership can help you avoid dangerous driving situations.
Only One Headlight Works
If one headlight has burned out while the other is still working, it’s time to get your headlights replaced. Headlights installed at the same time typically have a similar lifespan, meaning your single working headlight could be counting down to bulb failure. Don’t forget that driving with only one working bulb is illegal, too. Bulbs that have burned out should be replaced at once.
Headlights Are Growing Dimmer
If your headlights seem to be dimmer than they used to be, it could be a sign your bulbs are getting too old to provide enough light. If your headlight bulbs are new but still too dim to illuminate the road clearly, there may be a problem with your car’s electrical system instead.
Flickering Lights
Headlights that flicker on and off may have dying bulbs or a poor connection. Poor connections can stem from loose wires, corroded sockets, or a faulty bulb. Flickering lights are both a safety hazard and a distraction to other drivers on the road, so get them looked at right away.
Uneven Light or Color
If one headlight is brighter than the other, or one is white while the other has faded to yellow, your headlights might be getting ready to burn out. If your lights are still the same color and brightness but do not seem to be lighting the road evenly, their alignment may need to be adjusted.
Discolored Headlight Lenses
Over time, the clear plastic lenses that cover your headlights can become cloudy or yellowed from exposure to strong sunlight, harsh weather, or impact with debris. Lenses that are too foggy will limit the amount of light your headlights can produce. Cleaning might help this issue some, but if your lenses are too damaged they will need to be replaced.
Warning Lights on the Dashboard
Many modern vehicles come with dashboard indicators to warn you when there’s an issue with your headlights. If a headlight warning pops up, check to see if you can spot the problem.
Repeated Bulb Replacements
If you find yourself replacing your headlight bulbs more often than you should, there could be an underlying electrical issue with your car. It’s normal for bulbs to burn out over time. If you’ve had to replace them more than once a year, there’s something else going on.
