Headlight accessories are frames, lenses, reflectors, lamp holders, wires, connectors, gaskets, housings and other components you might need to restore the functionality and original appearance of vehicle lights. These car parts do not have a limited service life and are replaced as malfunctions occur.
What you should know about replacing headlight accessories
- There are various manifestations of headlight failures. For example, you will see scratches on the lens when you inspect your vehicle. Dimmer light indicates the darkening or peeling of the reflector, and fogging of the headlight suggests that gaskets are worn or the rear cover is broken. Unstable operation of bulbs, their spontaneous switching on or off, or complete absence of light is often related to the failure of the wiring, lamp holders or connectors.
- You can easily replace bulbs, covers, and, in most cases, lamp holders yourself. However, to install new lens and reflector and for other jobs that involve removing the headlight, better visit a repair shop, since these tasks require specific skills.
- Buy only high-quality headlight accessories so that your headlights wouldn’t fail before time. Avoid getting moisture inside the headlight. Make sure the power of the bulbs you use meets the manufacturer’s recommendations.
