It’s important to prioritize your safety on the road, and keeping your Toyota’s headlights in good working condition is crucial. The last thing you need at night or in inclement weather conditions is not being able to see the road ahead. Look out for the following warning signs and get new headlights from Coughlin Toyota as soon as possible to avoid being left in the dark.
1. Your Headlights Are Dim
Headlights could grow dimmer for various reasons, from dirty and scratched covers blocking the light to a weak battery or bulbs turning yellow with age. Inspect the headlight covers for damage or dirt and replace the bulbs. If your headlights still aren’t as bright as they once were, it could be due to an internal problem, such as a wiring issue. Have your Toyota technician examine the headlights to determine what is causing the problem.
2. Your Headlights Are Flickering
If your headlights are flickering, this could indicate a worn or damaged bulb filament or a weak battery. Ignoring this warning sign can lead to bulb failure and leave you stranded in the dark while driving at night or in bad weather. Even if you have replaced the bulb and the flickering persists, there may be a bad connection. Don’t put off this issue any longer – have your Toyota technician inspect your headlights and make necessary repairs for your safety.
3. Your High Beams Aren’t Working Properly
When the high beams are not functioning correctly, even if the low beams are working fine, it could be due to a blown fuse, faulty wiring, or a burned-out bulb. Change the bulb and check the fuses, and if the high beams are still not working properly, it’s best to ask your Toyota technician to take a look.
4. A Headlight Bulb Is Out
If one of your headlights is not working, chances are high that the bulb has burned out. Keep in mind that the other bulb may also be on the verge of failure because headlights are usually replaced in pairs to ensure the light is evenly distributed to increase visibility. When one bulb stops working, the other is soon to follow.
5. Your Headlights Won’t Come On
When your headlights fail to turn on, it could be due to a faulty headlight bulb or wiring issues with the headlight assembly. Generally, changing the headlight bulb solves this problem. If the issue still persists after replacing the bulb, ask your Toyota technician to examine the wiring, as it may require replacement.
