Your headlights are the most basic safety component of your vehicle. As soon as you notice headlight issues, you should contact your Ford dealership to schedule a service appointment so you can get new headlights right away.
Three Signs Your Ford Needs New Headlights
1. Performance and Visibility Issues
The most obvious signs that you need replacement headlights are flickering, dimness, and haziness. Flickering headlights are typically caused by a worn-out headlight bulb filament or by internal electrical wiring, while dim headlights are an early sign that bulbs are about to die. Hazy headlights can be caused by dirty lenses or other electrical issues. Prompt service at the first signs of these issues will ensure you can replace bulbs before they completely burn out.
2. Malfunctioning Features
Modern vehicles typically have headlights with special functions, such as automatic on/off features or high beam headlights. If your low beams or daytime running lights are working, but other headlight features are not, then you likely have an issue with a specific part of your headlights. It’s a good idea to schedule a replacement service as soon as you notice malfunctioning features since this could mean the other parts of your headlights are about to burn out, too.
3. Visible Physical Damage
Finally, if you see visible damage, such as a cracked lens or a broken bulb, you will need to schedule service right away. While your headlight might still work with a cracked lens, it’s still best to get a replacement headlight before the damage gets worse. If you don’t replace a cracked headlight promptly, you could risk severe damage to your wiring if water is exposed to the electrical components of your headlights.
Why Should You Replace Headlights at Your Ford Dealership?
Visiting your local dealership for headlight replacement is a good idea for a few reasons. First, your dealership will have the precise bulb replacements for your model and trim, which means you will get the benefit of genuine replacement headlights. Second, some headlights, such as LEDs, may require professional disassembly and reassembly to replace them, so it’s best to leave this task to experts. Third, you can ask your dealership to provide mobile service.
Ford Mobile Service is an ideal solution if your headlights, taillights, or turn indicator lights are completely fried. Without these lights, it’s not safe for you or other drivers if your vehicle is on the road. When you schedule Ford Mobile Service, a dealership technician will come to your location to provide routine vehicle maintenance.
To maintain the safety standards of your vehicle, you must have functional headlights and other exterior lights. Without working exterior lights, you will not be able to see the road clearly, indicate that you are changing lanes or turning, or see on very dark roads. Fortunately, you can easily replace headlights at your dealership. Book a service appointment at Jackson Ford, Inc. today.
