Like a lot of people, you may not have been driving as much over the last year. As a result, you might not realize that something is amiss with some of the parts in your vehicle, like your headlights.

This is why our Chevy service experts put together this list of red flags to look out for the next time you’re driving at night.  

Flickering

If your headlights seem to be flickering, this is typically a sign that the bulbs are on their last legs. It may also be related to a bad wire or a loose connection.

Dimness

Are your headlights just not as bright as they used to be? This might be another indication that you need to replace the bulbs. A corroded ground wire could also be the culprit.

Broken Low-Beams

Are your low-beams not working as well as your high-beams? This is probably due to bad bulbs. However, if new bulbs don’t do the trick, the issue could be a loose connection or perhaps a blown fuse.

Frequent Blown Fuses

Speaking of fuses, if you often need to replace them to get your headlights to work, something isn’t right. Faulty bulbs or bulbs with the wrong wattage may be to blame. There could also be an underlying issue with your electrical system.

If you are experiencing any of these issues, you don’t need to panic. Headlight bulbs don’t last forever, and replacing them is generally a quick and easy process. To have your headlights looked at by pros, you can schedule an appointment with our service team at our Toms River Chevy dealership.
