4 Signs Your CDJR Vehicle Needs New Headlights

Numerous parts of your vehicle need to be replaced every few years. The lights on your vehicle are among those components that need to be replaced every so often. Your local Chrysler dealer is the best place to get new headlights, so stop by when you notice any of the signs below that indicate your headlights are getting ready to burn out.

1. The Headlights Aren’t Working

One or both headlights no longer working is the most obvious sign that you need to get those headlights replaced. When one of the headlights burns out, it may seem like you can just replace that bulb. However, you should always have both headlights replaced at the same time.

Even if one of your bulbs is still working, it’s probably not going to work for much longer after the other has died. It’s more convenient to get both replaced at the same time instead of taking another trip to get your other headlight replaced in the near future.

2. The Headlights Are Hazy or Discolored

If the light coming from your headlights seems hazy or has a yellow tint, then you may not need to have the bulbs replaced. However, you may need new headlight covers. UV light, dirt, and salt stain the headlight covers over time and commonly cause haziness or yellowing that impacts how effective your headlights are. The headlight covers may need to be replaced or cleaned using a special solution at the dealer.

3. The Headlights Are Flickering

Your headlights flickering is never normal, even if they just flicker once or twice right after you switch them on. Any form of flickering is a sign that your headlights may burn out soon. Flickering can also indicate problems with your electrical system, so make sure you look out for other electrical issues in the vehicle. Regardless of what the problem is, flickering headlights warrant a trip to the dealer so you can have the problem fixed ASAP.

4. The Headlights Have Gotten Dimmer

It’s natural for your headlights to get dimmer over time, but eventually, they’ll become so dim that you can’t see the road as well as you used to at night. If your headlights are noticeably dimmer than they used to be, visit the dealer as soon as possible. The headlights may burn out very soon. Dimming headlights can also indicate an electrical issue, so be aware and keep an eye out for other signs of electrical problems.

 

If your headlights have burned out, or you think they will soon, visit Cunningham Chrysler of Edinboro in Edinboro, PA. We’ll make sure we check on their function when you stop by for your regular service, too.
