Getting New Headlights for Your GMC/Buick Vehicle

When it comes to vehicle maintenance, many drivers focus on oil changes and tune-ups. Those are important service appointments, but it’s also essential that you maintain your headlights and replace them when it’s time. Here’s what you need to know about getting new headlights from your Buick dealership.

Getting New Headlights at Your Buick Dealership

Don’t Wait Until the Bulb Is Out

Don’t wait until your lights are burned out to schedule a headlight service. Instead, watch for the signs that your headlights may be starting to fail and schedule service immediately. Headlights that blink on and off, or give off a foggy, yellowish glow instead of a direct beam of light, may be near the end of their life. If your headlights appear cracked or damaged, you may also need a replacement set.

Replace Both Lights at the Same Time

Even if just one of your lights is acting up, it’s a good idea to go ahead and replace both at the same time. The headlights on your vehicle are likely about the same age, and if one has started to decline, the other probably is not far behind. If you’re bringing your vehicle in for service, it makes sense to have both headlights replaced.

The Bulb May Not Be the Issue

If you’re bringing your car in because you’re worried about the performance of the headlights, be prepared for the fact that you might not need new lights after all. A variety of factors can influence the performance of your lights, including wiring and fuse issues. In some cases, dirt and grime that has accumulated on the plastic lenses covering your lights may be the culprit.

One of our factory-trained technicians will inspect your vehicle and determine whether you need new lights or some other type of repair.

Expect Expert Service and Genuine Parts

When your vehicle is in our shop, it’ll be in the hands of a dedicated team of professionals who are experts on every Buick model, whether it has halogen or LED lights. You can trust our experienced technicians to diagnose the problem quickly and accurately, then perform the appropriate repair using genuine Buick parts and your new lights should last for years.

You Won’t Need to Wait Long

Headlight maintenance typically does not involve a lengthy or involved service appointment. Unless you’ve combined headlight work with another vehicle maintenance, it won’t take long to get you and your vehicle back out on the road.
 
Driving without working headlights is unsafe, and it puts you at risk of being pulled over. Keep an eye out for signs that your lights may be faltering, and when you’re ready to schedule your next service appointment, call Schepel Buick GMC.
