Having properly functioning headlights is crucial to ensure clear vision on the road and make yourself visible to other drivers and pedestrians. Over time, headlight bulbs become dim, yellow, and eventually burn out. It’s essential to be aware of the following signs and get new headlights from your Chrysler dealer to prevent the inconvenience and danger of failing headlights while driving at night or in unfavorable weather conditions when visibility is poor.
Does Your CDJR Vehicle Need New Headlights From Your Chrysler Dealer?
Your Headlights Are Dim
If your headlights appear to be less bright than usual, it could mean that the bulbs need to be replaced. Alternatively, the headlight covers might be dirty due to accumulated road dirt and dust, obstructing the light from shining through. In this case, thoroughly cleaning the area might help.
If the brightness doesn’t improve, you may need to replace the bulbs. However, if the issue persists, it could be a wiring problem that needs to be addressed by your Chrysler technician.
Your Headlights Are Flickering
Flickering headlights could indicate that the bulb filament is damaged or worn out. When a headlight starts flickering, the bulb must be replaced quickly to avoid failing altogether. It’s also possible that a bad connection is causing the flickering. Ask your Chrysler technician to inspect the flickering headlight as soon as possible and replace the bulb or fix the connection before you find yourself on a dark road at night.
You Have Issues With Your Headlight High Beams
If your vehicle’s high beams are not responding even though the low beams are working, it could be due to a blown-out bulb, a blown fuse, or a wiring problem. It’s best to investigate the issue to determine the cause and find a solution quickly. See if it’s a blown fuse; if it’s not, change the bulb. If the high beams are still not working, take your car to your Chrysler technician for a thorough headlight inspection.
A Single Headlight Bulb Is Out
Replacing both bulbs is highly recommended if you notice that one of your headlights has burnt out. This is because headlight bulbs are typically replaced in pairs, and if one bulb has already gone out, the other one is probably dimmer and could also burn out soon.
Some vehicles have a single bulb for both low and high beams, while older cars have different bulbs for low and high beams on both sides. It’s best to replace all four bulbs simultaneously to ensure an even light distribution and enhance visibility.
Waiting until a bulb burns out could put you in a risky situation, especially at night and in inclement weather conditions. Call Jackson Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Sullivan today to schedule a maintenance service and ensure your headlights work and your vehicle is safe on the road.
