Does Your CDJR Vehicle Need New Headlights?

You’re always welcome to visit our Dodge Service Center as part of your regular maintenance routine, to ensure your vehicle’s longevity. Headlights are one car component that doesn’t last forever, so after a few years, you’ll need to visit your dealer to get new headlights.

How Often Does Your CDJR Vehicle Need New Headlights?

The average car’s headlights will work best for their first five years. However, after six years you might start to notice that the headlights aren’t as bright as they once were. While you can continue to drive with dimmer headlights, for your safety, we recommend replacing them every six years regardless. You never know when the lights may burn out.

Your driving habits can also influence how often you need to replace the bulbs in your headlights. If you rarely drive in conditions where you need to use the headlights, then your headlights will last longer. If you often drive at night or in low-visibility conditions, then you will need new bulbs for your headlights more often than the average driver.

One Headlight Dies

When one headlight dies, then the other one isn’t going to be far behind. You should always replace both headlights at the same time, so visit the dealer when one of the headlights stops working.

Your Headlights Flicker

Flickering headlights can indicate battery or alternator problems, but the flickering can also be a sign that the bulbs are nearing the end of their life. Headlight bulbs aren’t much different from the average lightbulbs you have in your house. You might have noticed that your lamp may flicker for a while before the bulb finally stops working entirely.

Your Headlights Get Dim

Your headlights won’t be as bright as they were when new forever. They’ll get a little dimmer over the years, and, at first, the dimming may not be noticeable. However, eventually, the dimming will be so significant that you’ll know it’s time to visit the dealer to get the bulbs replaced.

Your Headlights Get Hazy

Haziness can be a sign that your headlights will not last much longer. The light may be slightly yellowed or seem like it’s scattered when illuminating the road. Sometimes a buildup of dirt and debris can cause haziness or yellowing, too, but your dealer is equipped to clean these covers and make sure a larger problem isn’t to blame.
