For many cases, the headlight assembly just needs to be adjusted. If the issue lies with the assembly itself and the bulb won\u2019t sit quite right, you will need to replace the assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other internal problems also occur sometimes. Contacts that connect with plastic connectors may corrode and melt over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the type of car you have, it might have LED or HID headlights. When replacing the light bulb, a new headlight assembly may need to be installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When changing headlights<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Headlights typically last somewhere around 5 and 10 years. Where you drive and how they are made will impact the lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes time to replace them, make sure you use high quality headlights that will last you as long as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ones being installed should also come with an SAE stamp. Cheap headlights may not have one or the numbers that come with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Headlights can only be used on the road \u2013 and pass the Virginia Safety Inspection \u2013 if the correct markings are present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of the day, safety is the main priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s important that your car lights are working correctly so you can see and be seen while driving at night and in inclement weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you notice something wrong, schedule an appointment with an automotive professional and have them look into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HomeTowne Auto Repair &amp; Tire is an authorized Michelin and BFGoodrich tire dealer located near Dumfries, Virginia.
