Your headlights keep you out of harm’s way on the road, and they make sure other motorists are safe when you’re driving, too. However, you’ll eventually need new headlights, as they’re one of the components that can wear out in your vehicle. Don’t worry when it’s time to replace your headlights, as your Little Rock, AR Ford dealer can take care of it for you. The signs below will let you know when it’s time to stop by.


1. Your Headlights Stop Working

Sometimes your headlights won’t warn you that the end is near, and they’ll simply stop working. They need to be replaced ASAP. You can’t drive in dark conditions of any kind until you replace your headlights, so getting them replaced should be right at the top of your to-do list.

Make sure you replace both headlights even if only one is dead. Having one new and one old headlight will lead to inconsistent brightness, as one may be brighter than the other. It’s also more convenient to replace them together, as replacing individual headlights when they need it means you’ll need to take more trips to the dealer. That can seriously disrupt your day.


2. Your Headlights Become Hazy

Dirt, salt, and other contaminants can lead to your headlights producing yellowish or hazy light. This means you’ll need to get a technician to clean your headlight covers in a cleanser designed for them. You shouldn’t attempt to remove your headlight covers yourself, as you can easily slip up and damage them if you’re not a professional.

Sometimes cleaning your headlight covers won’t do the trick to repair your hazy headlights. That’s another reason you should let a professional take a look at your lights if they become hazy. You might need to replace your headlights entirely, so make sure you visit the dealer for all headlight cleaning and repair services.
