As a driver, you likely take headlights for granted. You expect them to work when you need them to be working, no matter whether they turn on automatically or you have to do it manually. But like everything, headlights have a lifespan — and a headlight’s lifespan isn't necessarily when the bulb burns out completely, as it may be functioning, yet with poor light quality. Whatever the case, one thing is certain: A burned out or poorly working headlight is only impacting your safety, as well as the safety of drivers on the surrounding road. This post will take a closer look at headlight longevity.
