When the sun sets, the headlights on your car perform the very important task of illuminating the road ahead you. Without them, you might have a hard time staying in your lane, avoiding obstructions, and reaching your destination. That's why at Dyer & Dyer Volvo Cars, we want to share two tips to help Chamblee drivers keep their headlights in good working order.
Clean Your Headlights Each Week
If you aren't washing your car every ten to 14 days, you should at least be sure to give your headlights a thorough wipe-down. This is something you can easily do when stopping for gas or cleaning your windshield. Use a damp microfiber cloth to gently dust off dirt and other debris. This will ensure that they're able to emit ample light for effectively brightening your path. It will also give you the chance to make sure that no bulbs are burnt out and that no other lamp repairs are needed.
Have Your Headlights Replaced When They Become Cloudy Or Yellowed
Yellowed and cloudy headlights don't emit as much light as clear, unclouded headlights do. This is a problem that frequently results from ongoing sun exposure, and exposure to chemicals and smog from the engine. You can invest in a headlight restoration kit to address moderate damages. However, the best way to preserve the aesthetic appeal and resale value of your vehicle is by having yellowing headlights replaced.
