What Is Headlight Service?

Headlight service with Premier Cadillac of Carlsbad includes replacing the headlight bulbs and aiming them correctly to eliminate dark spots on the road as you drive after dark. We also check the electrical system to make sure it’s sending power to your headlights. This includes any modules, relays, switches, fuses, and wiring. We’ll check the igniter and other HID components of your headlights.

Why Do Headlights Stop Working?

The most common reason for the headlights to stop working is because the bulb has burned out. Sometimes, this can be a quick fix; other times, it can be more complicated. You can bring your vehicle to the Service Center and our technicians will replace any burned-out bulbs.

If the bulb isn’t the culprit, it may be the wiring or fuses. The team will check each of these possible issues. If both headlights stop working simultaneously, the electrical system is usually to blame. The technician will check the switches and relays if the high or low beams fail.

When you bring your vehicle to Premier Cadillac of Carlsbad, you can count on our team to diagnose the issue and repair the problem. We work with all makes and models and can repair the different kinds of headlights.

Types of Headlights

There are three types of headlights used in vehicles in the US. Halogen headlights have been around for many years. They are inexpensive to replace and easily available. These lights generate heat and use more energy than other types. They also burn out more often and need to be replaced sooner than other headlights. Halogen headlights use a tungsten filament with argon and nitrogen gasses.

High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights are also known as Xenon headlights and work similarly to neon lights. They are brighter than halogen lights and last much longer. They also illuminate better with less energy. However, they are more expensive. HID headlights can be blinding to other drivers if they aren’t installed correctly.

LED headlights are some of the newest technologies in vehicles. They are brighter and have better coverage than halogen lights with less energy. They also avoid the glare of HID lights. LED lights stay cool, but they can generate heat around them. They are more expensive than other lights, but they last much longer.

The service team at Premier Cadillac of Carlsbad can replace your headlights regardless of the type. Our Parts Center keeps a well-stocked inventory of parts, including headlights. We’ll replace the light or whatever part is causing the issue, so you can be back on your way.
