When you are driving at night, the most important thing to have on your side is a good source of light – in the case of your car, those are your headlights. If your headlights aren’t working properly, then you won’t be able to drive safely. That’s just a fact. Check out some of the situations you might have and what they might be caused by, and then stop down at Flemington BMW to have us get you back on the road and shining brighter than ever!

If one of your headlights is out but the other one is working fine, then you probably have a burned out bulb on your hands. It could also be another component in your headlight assembly.

If neither of your headlights are working, it could maybe, maybe, be two burned out bulbs, but a much more likely scenario is that you have a relay or control switch that is either malfunctioning or broken.

If your headlights work fine but are dimmer than normal, the first thing you should do is clean them off with some cleaning solution and a clean microfiber cloth. If they’re still dim after you clean them, look and see if the plastic of the headlights is yellow and/or chipped and scratched. If it is, then ask us about reconditioning your headlights!

Finally, if your headlights are working but go dim in specific situations, such as when you’re accelerating, then it could be that you have a problem with your charging system.
