If you’re dealing with finicky headlights, you’ll want to start by narrowing down the specific problem that you’re having. Over time, it’s likely that the bulbs inside your headlights will eventually give out, but if that’s not the issue that you’re experiencing, you might be running into problems with your electrical system.- Only One Headlight Works: When only one headlight goes out, it usually means that your bulb finally gave up after hundreds of hours of use. It could also mean that your wiring or fuses are compromised.
- High or Low Beams Stop Working: If you find that one set is working but not the other, it could be a problem with your switches and relays, but you’ll still want to take the time to rule out burnt bulbs.
- Both Headlights are Down: Since it’s highly unlikely that both your bulbs managed to burn out at the exact same time, it’s likely that your electrical system is giving you problems.
A Lack of Light
Just because your lights are working doesn’t mean that you won’t still deal with problems. If you aren’t having any of the problems above but you find that your lights are incredibly dim, you’re going to want to get the issue fixed quickly so that you can drive safely at night.- Your Bulbs are Dying: The longer you drive, the dimmer your bulbs will become. If it’s been a while since you’ve last replaced them, you could be dealing with burnout. Generally, you’re going to want to get a replacement if this is the case.
- Your Power Source: If your alternator is having issues, it’s not going to be able to provide the power that your headlights need to function. If your battery keeps dying randomly, it’s time to get your alternator checked.
- Your Glasses are Foggy: If your glasses are caked with dirt, the light is going to have a hard time making it through. You’re going to want to get a rag out so that you can quickly solve the issue on your own.
