Dodge Headlight

Keeping your Dodge headlight set in good repair is one of the simplest of the automotive chores associated with vehicle ownership. Each Dodge headlight on your vehicle is an important part of your vehicle's safety equipment, ensuring that you are able to make your way safely through the night and helping you through inclement weather.

A periodic check of each Dodge headlight will help to see that you are not caught out with one that has failed, as they do over time.

In order to dodge a bullet with regards to issues with your Dodge Headlight, you might need to do some much-needed preventive maintenance work to ensure its continued function. Headlights are crucial safety equipment that helps you see at night (in fact, there are states that make it illegal for drivers to drive at night with busted headlights). For most people, they don't give such lights a second thought, but it's your responsibility as a motorist to know how effective they are when you're traveling at night or when you're driving in the winter where visibility is low.

Check your headlights by yourself.

Check your Dodge vehicle's headlights regularly if they're working properly so that you won't end up realizing too late at night that they're dimmer than before or altogether busted. To do this, you need to open your lights then walk in front of your car, van, or SUV to see if both bulbs are activated or not. Look at the cover and see if it has been smashed or cracked. From there, check the alignment of your headlight. There are times when your headlights are crooked or the light doesn't shine straight ahead like normal. If there's anything wrong with them, then the next step is to get them checked at your local dealership.

Have a certified mechanic check out your lights for you.

Unless you already know what to do in terms of taking out the headlight cover and lens in order to replace the bulb or fix headlight alignment, you can have all these tasks taken care of by your dealership mechanic or certified technician. He'll also know what to do in order to go about replacing what needs to be replaced or recommending the parts you'll need to buy from him or through an online store in order to put your headlights back together again. Headlights aren't just covers and light bulbs, after all. They also consist of brackets, nuts, bolts, reflectors, screws, wires, connectors, and so forth.

Clean up the outside of your headlights as well.

It's also crucial to keep the lenses of your headlights spic and span. That's because its surface can act as a dirt and debris magnet the more you neglect to clean it up. You should clean the lenses up in order to ensure that the quality of the light coming out of your headlights remain topnotch. This will also prevent them from yellowing and being more susceptible to breakage than normal. With that said, cleaning headlights is more than just soap and water. You'll also need to mask off the area you'll clean with tape to avoid scratches and sand the lens with 1000-grit sandpaper if the haze is particularly thick.

Avail of a Dodge headlight workaround for TIPM for recurrent headlight failures.

In order to truly avoid paying $50-$60 when it comes to headlight repairs that go beyond a failing light bulb, it might be time to get a workaround for Dodge's infamous headlight problems and its power module known as TIPM. Your dealer might be able to reset the computer to remove the fault and get the headlight to come back on. You also have the option to remove the TIPM and install a more standard fuse box to avoid regular headlight problems with your Dodge. Some fixes might cost you over $900 though, so make sure to get a second opinion before paying.
