If you notice that your headlights are dimmer than before or flicker randomly while you’re driving, there are chances that they will burn out soon. However, flickering headlights indicate an issue with the wiring in your lights that needs to be inspected by a technician.  

Exposure to sunlight and environmental elements can cause car headlights to turn yellow or hazy. It can reduce the effectiveness of your headlights affecting your visibility.  Hazy headlights are often cleared by cleaning the headlight cover but a qualified technician can check if it needs replacement.  

If you notice dark spots, uneven lighting, or if one headlight is brighter than the other, it’s a sign that your headlights may be misaligned or damaged. Also, if either of your headlights fail to turn on, it’s time to replace them. Immediate replacement is important for safe driving.
