FAQs on Car Headlights
How do I choose the right headlight for my vehicle?
Check your vehicle’s manual for bulb type, fitting size, and beam requirements. Also, consider brightness, energy efficiency, and legal compliance when choosing a car headlight replacement.
Why are my headlights dim or flickering?
Dimming or flickering could happen due to ageing bulbs, corroded wiring, a failing alternator, or poor electrical connections. Changing car headlights may be necessary.
How often should headlight bulbs be replaced?
Halogen car headlights typically last 500–1,000 hours, while LED headlights for cars can last up to 20,000 hours. Replace them as soon as their brightness decreases.
How can I clean or restore cloudy or yellowed headlight lenses?
Use a headlight restoration kit or fine-grade polishing compound to remove oxidation and restore clarity to your car headlights.
Why are modern headlights so bright or glaring?
LED and HID car headlights produce more lumens and a whiter colour temperature. Proper alignment is essential to reduce glare.
What is a high beam versus a low beam, and when should each be used?
High beams are for unlit roads with no oncoming traffic; low beams are for regular driving and when other vehicles are nearby.
How do adaptive or auto-levelling headlights work?
Sensors detect road conditions and vehicle pitch, adjusting beam height and direction for optimal illumination.
How do I properly aim my headlights, and what happens if they’re misaligned?
Follow your vehicle manual’s aiming procedure, lest your misaligned car headlights reduce visibility or dazzle other drivers.
Are headlights regulated, and what are the relevant legal considerations?
Headlights are regulated; the NZ Transport Association regulations require car headlights to meet specific beam patterns and brightness limits.
Why do headlights fail, and what can cause failure?
Blown bulbs, faulty wiring, water ingress, or damaged connectors can cause headlight failure, necessitating car headlight replacement.
Can I replace my headlight bulbs myself?
Yes, most vehicles allow for DIY bulb changes. Always disconnect the battery and avoid touching the bulb glass.
