Are you experiencing difficulty seeing at night? If you are, you just may need new headlights for your Mazda. Headlights are important for clearly seeing the road ahead, and if they’re not working
properly, it could compromise your safety. Here are several signs that indicate you need fresh headlights from your Mazda dealer:
Signs You Need to Get New Headlights at Your Mazda Dealer
Headlights Are Dim
The light output of a headlight decreases over time. If you notice this happening, you should clean the area around your headlights and see whether the light quality improves. If your headlights still appear dimmer than they used to, it’s probably time to have them replaced at your local dealer. You must do this as soon as possible as bad headlights can lead to accidents!
Broken Lenses
When your headlights’ lenses fracture or become hazy, the light will scatter rather than focus straight ahead. And since the beam is spread out over such a wide area, it will be nearly impossible for other motorists to anticipate where your car will go. However, you can fix this issue by bringing your car to your local dealer and having fresh bulbs installed.
Headlights Are Blurry
Much like how dirty glasses distort objects at a distance, the same can be said for dirty lenses in a headlight. You can try to clear up your blurry headlights by cleaning them but if they remain blurry, it’s a clear sign that you need to have your headlights replaced at your local dealer.
One Headlight Is Working
If one of your headlights is no longer working, the issue is unlikely to go away if you just change one bulb. This is because they are linked, which means chances are they’ll burn out at the same time. If you are experiencing this issue, strongly consider having both headlights replaced.
Headlights Are Flickering
Your headlights flickering may be caused by a faulty connection or harness. If you want to be sure that it won’t mushroom into a bigger problem, you should immediately get your lights checked by a reputable mechanic at your local dealer.
Headlights Are Dead
When your headlights won’t turn on, you should take the time to replace them immediately. It’s unsafe and illegal to drive around without any headlights on so you should visit your local dealer as soon as possible to buy fresh headlights and have them installed by a Mazda-trained professional.
Headlights are Foggy
Moisture from the road can cause your headlights to become hazy. This will not only reduce the amount of light striking the road, but it will also lead to a decrease in their efficiency and cause eventual burnout. Make sure your headlight component is completely sealed to prevent moisture from seeping in and causing trouble. This is a crucial tip to follow if you reside in a region where there’s a lot of rainfall all year long.
