Your Chevy’s headlights are vital components for safe and easy driving, especially at night and in low-visibility environments. Faulty headlights put you and other road users at a high risk of accidents. Failing headlights may also get you in trouble with the traffic officers, wherever you’re driving to. Here are signs that tell you it’s time to get new headlights from your trusted Chevy dealer.
1. Dim Headlights
Dim or faded headlights may be caused by dirty headlight covers. First, clean off the dirt or dust causing the problem, then check if enough light shines through. If the headlights still appear dim, it may be time to swap out the bulbs. Just like the bulbs of your house, headlights do wear out over time and need to be replaced.
2. Blown Fuses
If your car’s headlights keep going out because you’re having issues with blown fuses, it’s time to head out to your qualified technician for a thorough inspection. It may be a wiring or electrical issue that can be easily fixed. Your technician should recommend replacing the whole headlight system to stop a recurrent headlight failure.
3. Hazy Headlights
One of the most common signs that you require fresh headlights is when your vehicle’s lights are no longer bright as they used to be. Dirt, salt, and even UV rays may cause your vehicle’s headlights to become yellow or otherwise hazy. We advise you to have them replaced by a professional technician. Not only will this help you have a safer and more comfortable ride, but it will also make your car look better.
4. High Beams Don’t Work
Can you turn on your headlights just fine, but when it’s time to turn on the high beams, nothing happens? A blown headlight bulb is the most common reason a single high beam headlight won’t work. It could also be caused by wiring problems, a failing headlight switch, or a faulty high beam relay.
Your local dealership technician has the necessary tools to examine the root cause of the beam problems and will help replace the worn-out bulbs with OEM headlights.
5. Flickering Headlights
Flickering headlights may be caused by several reasons. Your car might have a faulty alternator or a blown fuse that needs replacement. If the fuse is intact, you may have a damaged headlight harness connector or something as simple as a broken headlight switch.
If you also observe a rapid flashing of your car’s frontal or tail turn signal, this is a warning sign that your bulb is almost burning out and should be therefore replaced. Have it inspected as soon as possible to avoid more serious damages in the future.
