Headlights play a crucial role in your safety on the road, providing the visibility you need to drive confidently at night and in challenging weather. When your headlights are misaligned, they can create blind spots, reduce your ability to see obstacles ahead, or shine too brightly into the eyes of oncoming drivers. Even small bumps, rough roads, or everyday wear can gradually shift your headlights out of alignment without you realizing it. That's why it's important to have them checked regularly to ensure they're aimed correctly and performing at their best. At Capitol Nissan in Salem, OR, our factory-trained technicians use precise tools and manufacturer guidelines to properly align your headlights. We'll inspect for issues like uneven beams, glare, or dim lighting and make the necessary adjustments so your headlights illuminate the road exactly as intended. Proper alignment not only improves your visibility but also helps extend the life of your headlights and enhances the overall safety of your vehicle. Whether you've noticed signs of misalignment or simply want peace of mind, our team is here to help. Schedule a service visit with Capitol Nissan today and let us ensure your headlights are providing you with the clear, reliable lighting you need every time you drive.

Why Is Headlight Alignment Important?

Headlight alignment service is essential because it directly affects both your safety and the safety of others on the road. When headlights are properly aligned, they provide clear, even illumination of the road ahead, helping you spot hazards, signs, and pedestrians in time to react. If headlights are out of alignment, they may point too low, limiting your visibility, or too high, creating glare that can blind oncoming drivers. Misaligned lights can also cause uneven wear on bulbs, reducing their lifespan and effectiveness. Over time, small bumps, potholes, or everyday driving conditions can knock headlights out of place without you noticing. By keeping your headlights correctly aimed, you ensure better nighttime driving confidence, reduce the risk of accidents, and maintain your vehicle's safety standards.

How Often Should Your Headlights Be Serviced?

Headlight alignment service doesn't follow a strict mileage or time schedule like oil changes, but it should be checked whenever you notice signs of misalignment or after certain events. If your headlights seem dim, uneven, or point in the wrong direction, it's a good indication they need adjustment. Hitting potholes, driving on rough roads, or being involved in even a minor fender bender can also knock headlights out of place. Many drivers choose to have their headlights inspected during routine maintenance visits to catch issues early. As a general rule, it's wise to have alignment checked at least once a year or whenever new headlights are installed. Regular inspections help ensure safe nighttime visibility and reduce glare for other drivers.
