Getting New Headlights for Your INFINITI at Your INFINITI Dealership

Broken wiring connections and burned-out bulbs can prevent you from driving your vehicle safely. You should visit your INFINITI dealership at the first sign that you need new headlights so you can stay safe on the road.

Flickering, dimness, and haziness are all signs that you need to replace the headlights on your vehicle. Certain types of headlights, such as halogen lights, can lose up to 20% of their illumination before the bulb burns out. LED headlights also show visible signs of dimness before the bulbs are blown.

Another sign that you may need to replace your headlights may be part of your headlights not working. If your daytime headlights work fine, but your high beams are busted, then you need to replace your headlight unit altogether. You should always replace both headlights at once.

If the bulbs of your taillights are the same as those of your headlights, then it might be a good idea to have these lights replaced simultaneously. Replacing all the lights on your vehicle at once, including your brake lights, can save you time. During your headlight replacement, your INFINITI mechanic will examine other lights on your vehicle to assess wiring connections and ensure all of your lights are in good operational condition.

The headlights, taillights, and brake lights on your vehicle can last anywhere from 500 hours to 30,000 hours, depending on the type of bulb you have. The cheapest bulbs are halogen bulbs, which will last between 500 and 1,000 hours. Usually, you will have to replace halogen bulbs once or twice a year.

HID bulbs should last for 2,000 hours, and xenon bulbs tend to last for 10,000 hours. Many modern vehicles use LED bulbs for all lighting fixtures on the vehicle, which is ideal since these bulbs can last for 30,000 hours or up to 12 years. If you want to have longer-lasting bulbs on your vehicle, you can ask your mechanic about upgrading your lights with bulbs that are compatible with your vehicle.

When it comes to headlights, it’s better to avoid procrastination. As soon as you notice dim or hazy headlights, you should schedule an appointment at your dealership’s service center, since the last thing you want is to be driving without headlights. You need both your daytime running lights and your high beam headlamps to safely operate your vehicle with proper visibility of the road.

The easiest way to replace the headlights on your vehicle is to visit your local dealership. If you are noticing issues with your headlights or other lights on your vehicle, book your service appointment at J.B.A. INFINITI of Ellicott City today.
