Headlights are an important safety feature on any vehicle. After all, it’s hard to navigate safely after dark if you can’t clearly see the road ahead. Your local Cadillac dealer or Chevy dealer can help keep your headlights in top working order. But it helps if you know the signs that it’s time for new headlights.

1. Your Lights Don’t Shine As Brightly as They Once Did

Are your headlights starting to lose their luster? Does it seem as though your lights aren’t as helpful as they once were when navigating darkened streets? Headlights may fade by as much as 20 percent before burning out, and the process sometimes happens so gradually you don’t notice it right away. That’s why it’s important to pay attention to the strength of your headlights and schedule a repair if you notice them starting to dim.

2. Your Lights Are Hazy

Headlights that have become yellow or hazy may also need a mechanic’s attention. Sometimes dirt, air pollution, and salt accumulate on headlight coverings and the coverings simply need a good cleaning. In other cases, the headlight may need to be completely replaced. The service department at your local dealer can diagnose the problem and perform the appropriate repair.

3. Your Lights Are Flickering

Blinking and flickering is another sign that your headlights are due for replacement. Headlights sometimes cycle on and off at the very end of their life, so flickering lights should be given immediate attention. Flickering can also be a sign of a problematic connection, which is a repair that your local dealer can perform.

4. One of Your Headlights Has Burned Out

If one of your headlights is out, the other light may not be far behind. Headlights are usually installed in pairs, and if one goes out, the other is likely near the end of its life as well. Most drivers find that it makes the most sense to go ahead and replace both headlights if one has gone out.

What Should I Expect When My Cadillac Dealer or Chevy Dealer Repairs My Headlights?

Friendly, Fast, Professional Service

When your local dealer repairs your headlights, you can expect courteous and thorough service. Your service adviser will communicate all findings with you and recommend the appropriate repair.

Long-Lasting Replacement Lights

When you have headlights installed on your car, the replacements will last for years. Halogen headlights, the most common, usually last for up to 1,000 hours. Xeonen headlights, which give off a white-bluish light, last around 10,000 hours. And the new LED headlights, which are particularly efficient, can last up to 30,000 hours. Your service adviser will know which type of light is appropriate for your vehicle.

Other Headlight Maintenance Services

In addition to replacing headlights and cleaning their covers, your local dealer can perform other headlight services as needed, including dimmer switch repairs.
