Does Your Car Need New Headlights?

Headlights on cars and trucks don’t last forever. At what point might you need new headlights? What are some things to be on the lookout for?

Flickering Lights

First, if you notice your headlights seem to flicker, that’s a problem. Flickering and/or uneven light may signal an electrical problem involving a connection. The problem could be within the headlight’s harness or its wiring. Bulbs, too, could be gradually burning out. A mechanic could take a look at your headlight(s) and determine if a replacement is needed. Headlights may use halogen or xenon lamps, or they might be LEDs. Since brand new headlights can be expensive, consider getting used headlights at All American Auto Salvage in Rahway, NJ.

Too Dim

Next, what if you notice your lights are dimmer than they should be? Maybe a bulb is failing or maybe it’s a wiring issue. Sometimes it could be a damaged ground or a corroded connection. Dim lights need your attention.

Finally, how about high beams? If you notice your high beams aren’t working, you might have a fuse or wiring issue. In that case, you’ll need to replace the headlight(s).

Used Headlights

Headlights matter in the dark– when you’re driving at night you need headlights or else you won’t be able to see where you’re going and what’s in front of you. If you’ve got headlights that don’t work, you need to replace non-working ones.

You don’t always have to buy brand new things, since they can be expensive. At All American Auto Salvage you can get used car parts at a fraction of the cost of brand new parts!
