Dim, cloudy, or hazy headlights can be a problem when it’s dark since you won’t be able to see the road as clearly. When you need new headlights, it’s best to schedule service at your Nissan dealer so your replacement lights are high-quality and long-lasting.
Most of today’s Nissan vehicles come with LED headlights and other LED lighting fixtures. In general, LED lights are meant to last for 25,000 to 30,000 hours, which means you should have continuous lights for five or more years. However, even LED lights can occasionally have issues related to loose wires, blown fuses, or broken bulbs. Some signs to watch out for include:
High Beams Aren’t Working
If your daytime running lights and your low beam lights are working, but your high beams don’t turn on, then your high beams may have a blown fuse or an old bulb. Sometimes, high beams don’t work because of wiring issues. Because LED headlights are a little more complex than regular halogen bulbs, you can only have your high beams repaired at your dealership.
Dim or Flickering Lights
LED headlights are known for being bright and bold, but just like any other lights, LED headlights will become less powerful as they near the end of their lifespan. Poor illumination is an early sign that you should schedule service. It’s better to schedule service as soon as you notice a problem, so you won’t be on the road when your headlights fail.
Blown Fuses
If your headlights have a blown fuse, then there’s a high chance the cause of your headlight issue is related to the electrical wiring in your car. Wiring issues can easily be identified by expert Nissan mechanics at the dealership. Electrical issues can also sometimes involve your car’s battery.
Should You Replace Other Lights at the Same Time?
When you replace the headlights on the front of your vehicle, it’s a good idea to replace the lights on the back of your vehicle as well. Your taillights are another crucial safety feature for your vehicle that can help you avoid rear-end bumps from other drivers. Along with your taillights, your brake indicator lights and rear turn signals also have bulbs that need to be replaced occasionally. Replacing all of these bulbs at once can ensure your vehicle is as safe as possible on the road.
Headlights and other lighting features on your vehicle are part of the standard safety equipment installed at the factory. Even though LED lights are meant to last for several years, you may have wiring issues or bulb problems that necessitate replacement lights sooner rather than later.
