ABOUT CAR LIGHTING REPAIR

How long should headlights last?

Even with near-perfect care, car headlights do not last forever. Bulbs burn out and wiring wears thin—and eventually, you’ll need to do some maintenance.

 

Thankfully, some of this work can be done at home. Good-quality bulbs should last anywhere from 18 to 24 months at a minimum—much more for certain kinds of bulbs. After they burn out, you can simply replace them yourself using the guidelines in your vehicle owner’s manual. 

 

However, a simple bulb replacement sometimes won’t take care of the problem. That’s when you may need a qualified auto service provider to step in and help.

DO YOUR LIGHTS NEED SERVICE?

If you’re noticing one or more of the following issues while driving—or when inspecting your car lights—it’s a sign that something is wrong with your car’s lighting system:

 

  • If one light stops working, you probably just have a burnt-out bulb. You can grab a replacement at your local auto supply store for around $10 to $30.

 

  • If both lights stop working, there is likely an issue with your car’s electrical system. In that case, you’ll need to reach out to a professional for help.

 

  • If high or low beams stop working, see if replacing the bulbs solves the problem. If not, see your auto service provider about checking the switches, relays, and other electrical components connected to your exterior lights. 

 

  • If your lights seem dimmer than they should be, you can try a few things to correct it before calling a pro. These include cleaning your lenses or changing the bulbs. If that doesn’t work, it might be an electrical issue.

It’s important to note that, if your vehicle uses HID headlights, or you’re looking to upgrade to HID, you will need to get them installed by a professional. This is because, if not installed properly, HID headlights can temporarily blind other drivers, triggering dangerous accidents. Even if you find an after-market HID bulb, you should still consult a professional before installing it.

HOW MUCH WILL YOUR LIGHTING REPAIR COST?

The cost of lighting repair depends on the type of repair, the make and model of your vehicle, and the type of bulbs being used:

  • Issues with the switches or wiring can cost between $50 and $250.

 

  • Issues with the headlight assembly can cost between $250 and $850.

 

  • If your headlights need an upgrade, the replacement service usually costs between $150 to $250.

 

For any of these repairs, be sure to consult a trusted and experienced auto service provider. This will help prevent any extra expense due to improper repair or incompatible replacement.

The benefits of CAR LIGHTING REPAIR

REDUCED OVERALL COST

When you invest in repairing your headlights right away, you can prevent other issues with your vehicle, especially if the headlight problem is electrical. This, in turn, will prevent you from needing to pay for maintenance that would not have been necessary otherwise.

IMPROVED SAFETY

Underperforming or non-performing headlights and brake lights can not only be inconvenient—they can be dangerous, too! Even just having one headlight out can confuse oncoming drivers, making it hard for them to discern the size of your vehicle and potentially cause accidents.

BETTER TRAVEL

High-quality headlights can help you see better while driving, improving your visibility in darkness, fog, rain, and snow. Depending on the driving conditions, it may help you to get to your destination faster—and will most definitely help you get there safer.

HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR CAR LIGHTING REPAIR

Once you’ve gotten your car lighting repaired, it’s important to maximize your investment by performing car lighting maintenance. Here are some top tips from us:

Use your vehicle’s manual to guide you on how often you should check your headlights, brake lights, and turn signals. One of the easiest ways to do this is to check your manual once a month to verify any past-due or upcoming maintenance. You can also ask your mechanic to inspect your lights whenever you get an oil change.

Polish your lenses regularly to keep the lighting clear and bright. It’s also a good idea to keep your vehicle clean to avoid a buildup of dirt and mud.

If you notice that one of your lights is out, damaged, or not performing properly, get it repaired right away to prevent other issues and potential accidents.

It’s always a good idea to have someone you can trust to take care of your vehicle at the first sign of trouble. Don’t wait until there is a problem to find a reliable auto service provider!
