Headlight and Taillight Service for Your Porsche
Inspect Your Car’s External Lights Frequently
It’s advisable for all drivers to carefully inspect their headlights, taillights, turn signals, brake lights, and hazard lights once a month. With the engine idling and the lights on, walk around your car, checking the condition and strength of each light. If any bulbs are fading or flickering, have them replaced or repair the underlying electrical problem.
These checks are especially important during winter, when the days are shorter and the weather is worse. It’s also a good idea to inspect your external lights before any long trips where you’ll be driving at night or in rain, snow, or fog. And always pay close attention to any new bulbs you’ve recently installed to ensure it was properly installed and works well in your car.
Request Routine Checks at Your Porsche Center
It’s important to include light inspections as part of your car’s routine vehicle maintenance. With a professional eye, our technicians can identify any potential problems with your bulbs and test the electrical system, repairing any faults as required. With this service, you’re less likely to experience a serious light problem that could leave you without full visibility one foggy night.
Look for Signs You Need New Headlights or New Taillights
If your bulbs begin to flicker, either the bulb, the harness, or the wiring has a fault. If the light ahead of your car appears to fade, you might need a new bulb, unless the battery and alternator are failing to deliver proper voltage. If the light appears to be more hazy and cloudy than dim, your headlight lenses could be dirty or damaged by oxidization from UV rays; you’ll need to have the lenses cleaned or replaced.
When one headlight bulb fails, it’s best to replace both bulbs in the pair. This ensures maximum brightness, as the second bulb isn’t likely to last much longer than its dying pair and might already be fading. Finally, pay attention to how other drivers are responding to you on the road. If they seem confused or annoyed after driving behind you, one of your taillights or signal lights might not be working.
