Need New Headlights? Visit Your Ford Dealer

Is it time for new headlights? Here’s how to tell if you need to head over to the Ford dealer to brighten up your drive.

 

You Think You Need Glasses

If you are starting to think that maybe you need glasses, or maybe you’re not cut out for driving at night, this could actually be because your headlights are starting to grow dim. It’s not something that’s immediately obvious. Instead, you usually just start feeling that you’re having to squint a lot at night. Before you worry that the problem is you, have your headlights checked out at the dealership to make sure they’re shining the way they should and providing you with enough light to drive.

You Notice Flickering

Sometimes, a light doesn’t actually burn out, but it does start flickering. This usually means you have a loose connection in there somewhere, and it is liable to flicker out completely at the worst possible moment. Come see us, and we’ll take care of this to make sure you can rely on your headlights whenever you need them.

One Light Is Out

It’s frustrating when one light goes out, and it’s very tempting to just ignore it until the second light goes out. For one thing, this is illegal. Not only do you not have enough light to see if you’ve only got one headlight, but one burnt out bulb makes you confusing to oncoming drivers. They are likely to think you’re a motorcycle, and that means they’re going to misjudge your width and where you are on the road.

More than that, however, once one light goes out, it becomes very likely that the second will go out. That’s because bulbs are installed in pairs. Just bring it by and we’ll quickly give you a new set.

Things Are Looking Hazy

If you take a look at your lights during the day and notice that they look hazy and yellowed, the problem could be the lights to themselves or it could just be your headlight covers. When you drop it by, we can see if the covers can be cleaned. If that’s possible, that might be all that needs to happen. If the covers have gotten too damaged by exposure to the elements, we can replace them or replace the bulbs as necessary.
