Does Your GMC Need New Headlights?

Safe driving means being able to rely on each aspect of your GMC, and at night, that means your headlights need to always emit a steady, bright light to show you the way. Your GMC dealership can help with maintenance, but first, it’s up to you to determine if you may need new headlights. Here are some signs that may indicate your headlights need replacing.

How to Know When to Replace Your GMC’s Headlights

Can You See Clearly in the Dark?

When driving on a dark night, you wouldn’t forget to turn your lights on, but sometimes it’s not immediately obvious if they’re not working at full capacity. The road in front of you shouldn’t be just visible, but clear. If your headlights are giving off a dimmer light than they should be, the bulb may be slowly dying and should be inspected.

Can Others Clearly See Your Headlights?

It’s often hard to tell how strong your lights are from behind the wheel. You may even encounter reactions from other drivers who were taken off guard by your vehicle because its headlights were failing, even though you had no idea.

To avoid angry honks and potentially dangerous situations on the road, it’s helpful to have a friend stand in front of your GMC while it’s parked so that they can let you know what the lights look like from outside. If nobody is available to lend a hand, you can also set up your phone to take a picture of the headlights.

When It’s Time for New Headlights

If you’ve confirmed that your headlights aren’t at peak performance, the next step is to find the right remedy. They may have a problem with the bulb, lens, or wiring, and require only a simple repair. However, sometimes headlights may need to be fully replaced. Our GMC experts can examine your vehicle and let you know what should be done.
