Need New Headlights? Visit Your Cadillac Dealer

Your Cadillac dealer regularly inspects lots of components in your car, including all of the interior and exterior lights. This is because the lights wear out over time, and eventually, you’re going to need new headlights. They typically need to be replaced every five or six years. You can spot the signs that you need to replace your headlights pretty easily, so it’s important to be aware of them.

The Headlights Get Dim

Most headlights don’t go from fully working to dead with nothing in between. Usually, they’ll get dimmer for a while before they fully burn out. Once you notice this dimming has begun, there’s a good chance that your headlights are nearing the end of their life. Electrical problems can also make your headlights dimmer, so make sure you look out for other faulty components in your car, such as dim dashboard lights or slow-moving power windows, too.

The Headlights Start to Flicker

If your headlights are flickering, then they may be burning out. However, faulty electrical connections can also make your headlights flicker. Regardless of what’s causing the flickering, head to the dealer to have the car thoroughly inspected by a professional. The technicians at our dealership can fix whatever the problem is.

The Headlights Are Dead

It’s not impossible for your headlights to die with no real signs that they were close to burning out beforehand. So, switch on the headlights, and if they’re not working, then bring the car in as soon as possible.

This also applies if only one of your headlights has burned out yet the other one is still working. It’s not safe to drive in the dark with only one working headlight, and the working headlight will probably burn out soon, anyway.

The Headlights Are Hazy

If your headlights are emitting yellow or hazy light, it doesn’t necessarily mean the bulbs are close to burning out and need to be replaced. Often, it just means the headlight cover needs to be cleaned with a special cleanser designed specifically to get rid of salt and dirt buildup. UV rays can also damage the headlight cover and make the headlight beams look hazy or yellow.

The technicians at our dealership can clean off the headlight covers for you. They can also replace the covers if cleaning them won’t do the trick.

The Headlights Are Damaged

It’s important to visually inspect every part of your car regularly, including the headlights. If you notice a crack or chip in the headlights, then head to the dealer as soon as possible. Even small cracks and chips can compromise visibility, and small cracks can always get bigger.

Make sure you stop by the dealer regularly to get your headlights checked. Visit Service Cadillac in Lafayette, LA for any Cadillac Service you need today.
