Kia Headlight Replacement Service

The Basics Of Headlight Replacement and Why It's Important

Your Kia’s headlights over time require regular upkeep to keep them operating as expected. This regular maintenance can include refinishing, treatments to reduce discoloration, regular bulb replacement, and complete headlight replacement. While annual refinishing can increase the amount of light older headlights put out such refinishing often has to be redone yearly and is not as long term a solution as a full headlight replacement can be. Plus in some cases, headlights can develop mechanical failures necessitating full replacement due to the headlight not working properly or at all.

The Dangers Of Not Replacing Your Headlights

As your headlights age, their effectiveness greatly reduces as they yellow or become clouded. This has a negative impact on the amount of light your headlights give off and greatly reduces nighttime visibility. This can greatly reduce your range of vision when driving at night and in more extreme cases very old headlights can only produce 20% of the light levels they could when new. While it can take over a decade for such an extreme reduction in light quality to occur many lights can start losing their effectiveness in as little as three to five years.

This reduction in light levels reduces the area you can safely see in front of your car when driving at night. This makes driving at night or during bad weather far less safe and can make avoiding accidents or making sudden stops far more difficult due to a lack of safe stopping distance and lessened reaction time.
