Headlight Installation Problems

Installation problems with headlights can be a major safety issue because nighttime driving is nearly impossible when headlights are not working properly. Although some headlights can function after well over 1,500 hours of use, even a few minutes of driving without them can be a dangerous venture.

Installation Problems

    When installing new headlights, sometimes one or more bulbs will fail to light up. A corroded socket is sometimes to blame for this kind of issue. By applying a cleaner made specifically for electronics, the connection can sometimes be revived. If not, you will likely need a new socket altogether.

Fuse Problems

    Voltage issues will also prevent headlights from coming on. Fuses should be checked, and any blown fuse should be replaced. If the new fuse blows as well after replacement, the problem is likely due to a short somewhere in the wiring of the headlights circuit.

Charging Problems

    If your headlights lose brightness each time you rev your motor, a problem is likely present somewhere within your vehicles charging system. A faulty alternator is an example of this. Checking your car batterys voltage can help as any voltage reading under 13 volts suggests that the charging system is indeed the problem.
