Exterior Lights Check & Replace Service at Capitol Nissan

October 15th, 2025

Your vehicle's exterior lights are essential for both safety and visibility, helping you see clearly in low-light conditions and ensuring that other drivers can see you as well.

Over time, bulbs can burn out, lenses can become cloudy, or wiring issues may cause lights to dim or stop working altogether.

Why Is This Service Important?

It's important to know when your vehicle's exterior lights need to be checked or replaced to keep you safe on the road. If you notice your headlights, brake lights, or turn signals are dim, flickering, or not working at all, it's time for an inspection. Cloudy or yellowed headlight lenses can also reduce visibility and may require attention. Sometimes other drivers may even signal to you if they notice a light is out that you can't see yourself. In addition, dashboard warning lights can indicate an electrical issue with your lighting system. Because exterior lights are so vital for night driving and signaling, it's best not to wait-have your vehicle checked by the experts at Capitol Nissan in Salem, OR, for a quick and reliable solution.

How Often Should Your Exterior Lights Be Checked/Replaced?

Your Nissan's exterior lights should be checked regularly to ensure they're working properly and keeping you safe. A good rule of thumb is to have them inspected during every routine maintenance visit, such as when you come in for an oil change or tire rotation. Since bulbs can wear out at different times depending on how often and where you drive, having them checked a few times a year helps catch issues early. Headlight brightness can also fade gradually, so even if a bulb hasn't burned out completely, replacement may still be needed to maintain clear visibility. If you frequently drive at night or in rainy, foggy, or dark rural conditions, more frequent checks are especially important. At Capitol Nissan in Salem, OR, our technicians can ensure your lights are always reliable.
