The headlights on your vehicle may not get the heavy use that some other parts of the car get, but they still need to be maintained and occasionally replaced. Whether you’re looking to replace a burned-out bulb or upgrade to LED headlights, your Jeep dealership is the place to go. Here’s what you should know about getting new headlights.
You don’t have to wait until your headlights are burned out to replace them. There are typically early warning signs that your lights are near the end of their life. If your headlights seem dimmer, or if they have started blinking, those are indications that it’s time to schedule headlight service. And if your headlights need frequent replacement, we’ll check to see if there’s a problem with your vehicle’s electrical system.
Your Headlight Lenses May Just Need a Good Scrub
Because of their position on the front of the vehicle, headlights are vulnerable to debris that’s kicked up from the road. If your headlights are emitting a foggy, yellowish glow instead of a clear beam of light, it’s possible that dirt and grime have accumulated on the clear plastic lenses that cover your lights. One of our factory-trained technicians can remove the lens and clean and buff it. We can also inspect any cracks or damage to the lens.
LED Lights Are the Future
LED lights are more energy efficient and offer greater visibility than standard halogen lights. They also have a much longer life. LED headlights last an average of 30,000 hours, while standard halogen lights average 1,000 hours. LED headlights are available on some Jeeps, and you can opt to have your old headlights replaced with new LED versions.
Headlights Are Typically Installed in Pairs
We recommend that headlights be replaced together, even if just one is acting up. If one of your lights is in decline, the other probably is not far behind. Replacing both will save you time down the road.
You Can Expect Expert, Professional Service
When your vehicle is in our service department, it’ll be in the hands of a technician who knows all the ins and outs of your particular Jeep model. Any parts that are used will be genuine Jeep parts. Headlight repair and replacement isn’t typically lengthy, but you’ll still be able to take advantage of the amenities we offer our service customers, including shuttle service, early bird hours, Saturday appointments, Spanish-speaking personnel, and free waiting room Wi-Fi.
Your headlights are a key safety feature, so you’ll want to maintain them and schedule their replacement when it’s time. When you’re ready to book your next service appointment, call Crenweldge Motors.
