Why Aren’t My Lights Working Correctly?
If your lights aren’t working, the reason for it can vary quite a bit, but some symptoms can help you narrow down the problems. If you can determine which lights aren’t working or if it is both lights or just the dim lights only, bright lights only, or some other problem, you can get to the main issue faster.
- When one light stops working: Usually this situation is caused by a burned-out bulb, but if a bulb replacement doesn’t fix the problem, you may want to get your fuses and wiring checked.
- High beam or low beam stops working: Your first step should be bulb replacement here as well, but if that doesn’t work have relays and switches checked.
- When both lights stop working: This is probably related to the electrical system, which a service technician will need to test.
- Headlights are dim: if the lights turn on and off but are dim, it could be a foggy or dirty lens, but it could be a problem with the charging system or it may be your bulb, or bulbs are getting ready to burn out.
How Long Do Headlights Last?
Depending on the type of bulb, there are different time frames for when you can expect to replace your headlight bulb.
- Halogen lights last about 500-1,000 hours.
- LED lights are designed to last about 50,000 hours.
- HID and Xenon lights last from 2,000-8,000 hours.
Another way to know when to change your headlights is just by simple observation. If you notice a loss of brightness or one of the problems above it may be time to change your bulbs. You can inspect your headlights by noticing them at night to see if both lights work and whether the bright and dim lights are functioning. If you notice a problem or if the headlights change while you’re driving, it may be time to have them serviced.
