When it comes to staying safe on the road, being able to see is key. In the dark, rain, or other low-visibility situations, you want your Ford’s headlights on and at full strength. If any of the bulbs in your vehicle’s lights are starting to dim, or one of them has gone out, don’t hesitate to book an appointment to have them replaced. Join the service team here at Downtown Ford as we take a closer look at headlight bulb replacement.
Early Signs Bulbs Need Replaced
Like with many components in your Ford, there are some early warning signs it may be time to replace your light bulbs. The most obvious sign is dimming; if your headlights are clean, but don’t seem as bright as they used to be, it may be that the filaments in the bulbs are wearing out. Flickering is also a sign of a worn or damaged light bulb. Your high beams not coming on may also be the result of a burnt-out headlight bulb. Note that many headlight issues can also be a sign of an electrical problem with your vehicle, so you may want to have your vehicle inspected when you bring it in to have the bulbs on the lights replaced.
How Often Do Bulbs Need Replaced?
Headlight bulbs are designed to be long lasting, and don’t need to be replaced all that often, assuming they haven’t been damaged. Rather than regular replacement, they generally only need to be replaced when they’ve actually worn out. It is a good practice to replace headlight, and taillight bulbs in pairs, though, so if one has burnt out, the other is likely nearing the end of its life as well, and should be replaced at the same time.
