HOW DO I REPLACE MY HEADLIGHTS?

 

Paulo Coelho once said, "No one can hit the target with one eye closed." It's impossible to safely drive a car with a substandard headlight. Having poor vision while driving might lead to unfortunate accidents, and replacing those dimmed headlights is the only solution to achieve the perfect vision while driving. We also suggest you settle for online motor insurance as a provisional measure. 

Replacing a headlight bulb is not difficult since most vehicles nowadays come with Halogen Bulbs and LED Lights, which are very easy to replace. 

 

Precautionary Steps:

● Choose a clean workspace with good lighting to work on your car.

● Use rubber gloves for safety and a floormat to comfortably sit or lie down and work. 

● Use marking pens to mark the points where the wires should be connected. 

● Identify the type of light you need for replacement or show the old light to the shopkeeper and ask for help. 

● Avoid touching the glass part of the headlight when you replace it because the oil in your hands could affect the intensity of the bulbs and might cause some distortion. 

Once you have replaced the headlights perfectly, check if you have online motor insurance for your safety and get one, if you don't have one.

                       

 

Steps to replace your headlights: 

Step 1. Kill the Power

Power down your car and take the keys off the ignition for safety.

 

Step 2. Open the Hood

Open your car's engine compartment and locate the headlight holder at the front end of your car. 

 

Step 3. Disconnect the wires

Once you've successfully located the holder, carefully disconnect the headlight wires attached to the circuit. Usually, three wires are connected to the headlights, so carefully pull down the attached clips. Don't hesitate to read your car's manual for assistance.

 

Step 4. Unscrew the old headlight

After you've disconnected the wires successfully, notice how the bulb is locked in, and carefully unscrew them, and pull out. It is sad to say that if you break the clips connected to the bulb, you will have to replace the whole headlight. 

 

Step 5. Screw-in the New Bulb

Without touching the bulb's glass, gently screw in the new Halogen or LED Bulb and attach those clips to them. Close the hood and restart your car to heat the bulb and check if they're functioning properly. Now enjoy your drive safely.
