Signs Your Headlights Need Repairing

Your car’s headlights might need to be replaced if you’ve noticed any of the following symptoms:

• Flickering or dim headlights

• Uneven headlight output

• The headlights won’t turn on

• The headlights only work sporadically

• Condensation inside the headlight

• A cloudy or yellowed lens

• Visible headlight damage

Your headlight bulbs can fail as they age, so it's worth getting them checked as soon as you notice an issue.

What Headlight Repair Does My Car Need?

Depending on the issue, your car could need anything from a bulb replacement to headlight restoration.

• Bulb replacement. If a headlight has gone out, the bulb has usually blown. Compare car bulb replacement prices.

• Headlight unit or lens replacement. If the lens is cracked or the unit is damaged, it may need replacing.

• Headlight restoration. Over time, the protective coating on the lens can wear off and UV light can turn it yellow.

• Fixing condensation. Headlights are sealed, but the seal can break through wear and tear and let moisture in. Condensation that keeps coming back usually means the seal has failed.

• Headlight alignment. Your headlights must be properly adjusted so they don’t dazzle other road users.

A garage will be able to inspect your headlight to determine if a replacement is necessary.
