When you’re looking for a quick check-up near Ranger, Eastland, or Cisco, there’s no better place than Stanley Ford Eastland.

Left in the Dark

When you’re dealing with faulty headlights, it can be frustrating, to say the least. You’ll want to make sure that you avoid driving at night until you can get the issue fixed. Depending on how your lights are acting, you could be dealing with a few different problems. 

• The High or Low Beams Go Dark: If one set works but not the other, you might be dealing with an issue relating to your switches and relays. There’s always the chance of burnt bulbs though, so you’ll want to make sure to check before assuming the worst.
• You Only Have One Headlight: If one lonely headlight is doing all the work, it’s highly likely that your bulb burned out in the other one. If that’s not the case, you might be dealing with faulty wiring or fuses. 
• Both Lights Suddenly Stop Working: If all of your lights go out, you almost certainly have an electrical problem on your hands. You’ll want to avoid driving at night, and head to the mechanic as soon as possible. 

A Dim Headlight 

Your headlights might not be failing entirely, but they still might run into issues. As time goes on, they might not be putting out the same amount of light that they did when first installed. If this is the case, you’re going to want to consider some of the factors below. 

• Your Headlights are Dirty: When you’ve got dirt and grime covering your lenses, it’s natural that the light won’t get through. If this is the case, you’ll want to give your model’s lenses a quick scrub.
• A Failing Alternator: If your alternator is giving you issues, it’s likely that it’s the cause behind your dimming lights. Your headlights can only function if they have the right amount of power heading their way. 
• Your Bulbs: If it’s been a minute since your bulbs have been changed, you’re going to want to take a look at them. They naturally become dimmer over time, which could be the reason for your low visibility.
