Headlight Service

Headlight Service at Stanley Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Gilmer

While your headlights can give you some added visibility at night, they also make sure that you don’t get hit by other drivers, as you’ll be incredibly hard to see without them. This is why when they go out, you’re going to want to get them fixed immediately. When you’re looking for your next service near Tyler, Gilmer, or Longview, you’ll want to head to Stanley Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Gilmer, where our mechanics are more than ready to help you.

A Dim Look

Before your headlights stop working entirely, you’ll often notice that they start to become dim. This is an early warning sign that something is wrong, but it can be the result of a few different issues. When you’re trying to make sure your headlights are effective again, you should consider:

• Their Age: As headlights age, they become less effective. Since they slowly burn out over time, you’ll want to make sure your current set isn’t too old.
• Their Cleanliness: If your headlights are dirty, they’ll struggle to cut through the night. You may want to try cleaning and retesting them.
• Their Power Source: If you’re having a problem with your battery, alternator, or serpentine belt, they may not be receiving the right amount of power. Since your electrical system is so vast, you’re going to want to have a professional inspect your vehicle so that you can make sure that there are no underlying issues.

Going Out Completely

It’s never fun to deal with failing parts, especially when it’s something as important as your headlights. While it’s easy to stress about what the issue could be, you’ll want to do yourself a favor by narrowing down the type of problem you’re having first.

• Your High Beams or Low Beams Have Gone Out: You’re going to want to see if the bulbs are burnt out before doing anything else, but if they seem fine, you might be dealing with a problem with your switches and relays.
• One Headlight Refuses to Work: A burnt-out bulb is the most common source of the problem, but it could just as easily be a problem with your wiring or your fuses.
• Both Headlights Won’t Turn On: While it’s possible for all your bulbs to wear out at once, it’s incredibly unlikely. This is almost certainly a problem with your electrical system.

The Solution

Depending on your model, you might not be able to access your headlights on your own. When you need your headlights changed, you can always trust the professionals at Stanley Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Gilmer. You’ll be able to choose between multiple options, including:

• Halogen Headlights
• LED Headlights
• High Intensity Discharge Headlights 

If your issue has to do with your electrical system, you can also count on our mechanics to quickly diagnose it. This can save you plenty of headaches down the road, as you won’t have to worry about your vehicle suddenly refusing to start, or problems with your technology and safety systems. While you’re at the dealership, you may also want to consider getting some of your other basic services out of the way, like your next oil change. This will make sure that you don’t have anything to worry about when you get back on the road.
