Do your car headlights need to be replaced or repaired?

 Your car headlights are critical for your safety when you're out on the road. Whether you're driving at night or tackling treacherous weather, they both light your way AND make you more visible to other drivers on the road. That's why it's critical to keep them in the best condition possible and also ensure that you address any issues as soon as you notice them. Toyota of Orlando is here to help - check out these four signs from our expert auto service techs that you need car headlight repair or replacement stat. 

Toyota service tips

Four signs you need to schedule car headlight service 

Sign #1: Your car headlights are flickering. 

Does it seem like the lights coming from your headlights is flickering or uneven? This can indicate that the bulbs are going bad and need to be replaced soon. Just like the bulbs you use in lights inside your home, they do wear out over time. However, if the flickering doesn't stop after you replace the bulbs, you might have a bad harness or an issue with your battery connection, so it's worth having our Orlando Toyota service techs take a look. 

Sign #2: Your high beams don't work even though your low beams do. 

If you can get your low beams to turn on but your high beams won't activate, the bulbs may have an issue, so try replacing them. If that doesn't fix the problem, it's time to visit Toyota of Orlando. You could have a blown fuse or there could be a problem with your wiring. 

Sign #3: The light coming from them is dimmer than usual. 

Do your car headlights not seem as bright as usual? This can mean one of two things. One is that your car headlight bulbs are about to burn out and need to be replaced soon. Another is that you have a damaged or corroded ground wire. Either way, you need an expert to fix the problem so it's best to contact our Orlando auto service center. 

Sign #4: You keep blowing fuses under the hood. 

If fuses keep blowing under the hood of your car, you might have an issue with your electrical system as a whole. Our auto care techs will need to check your car headlights as well as the electrical system and wiring in your car, so visit us ASAP.
