Dodge RAM Fiat Bulb Replacement in Topeka, KS

Your headlights and taillights on your car, truck, or SUV are safety items for driving in the dark, fog, or rain. It helps other drivers to see you coming on the road with your headlights on and it helps you to see them too. Taillights are always red when they are illuminated to show you if another vehicle is going away from you. In the same sense, headlights are white so you know another vehicle is approaching you head-on.

How Often Do I Need to Replace Headlight or Taillight Bulbs?

Your headlight and taillight bulbs can vary on how long they will last. Some of the factors are your usage, how often you drive with them on and the type of bulbs they use. Halogen bulbs are the oldest type in vehicles and they can last anywhere from 450 hours to 1,000 hours. HID headlights last longer with an average between 2,000 and 3,000 hours, which is approximately 90,000 miles. Xenon headlights last up to 10,000 hours and LED headlights lasts around 30,000 hours.

Signs Your Lights Are Beginning to Fail

Fortunately, there are a few signs that your headlights or taillights may be failing. You may notice that they are dimmer than usual indicating that they are nearing the end of their life. Your headlights or taillights may flicker on and off or it may be entirely out. It's much easier to notice when your headlights are out rather than your taillights because you may not see a faulty taillight unless someone informs you of it.

Schedule Bulb Replacement ASAP

You will be unsafe while driving in any condition other than in the daytime if your headlights or out and a failed taillight won't alert cars behind you so they may wreck into you from the rear.
