How To Tell It’s Time For New Lights For Your Vehicle

Your vehicle and your ATV must be serviced on a regular basis, and according to manufacturer guidelines. This is usually after a particular period of time or mileage.

But, you should know the red flags or signs that your vehicle is in desperate need to be checked by a mechanic and whether or not you need new lights.

Here are a few signs that it’s time for a service or to add something new.

1. The engine warning light

Today’s vehicles are pretty good at letting you know when something needs to be seen to. If a check engine light comes on, get the vehicle serviced by a mechanic as soon as you can, as there are so many types of engine problems that the light may be indicating. Many vehicles even have a service light that comes on when the next service is due. While the little light shouldn’t be a major cause for concern, it is better to not just ignore it.

2. The vehicle’s headlights are dim

Driving at night, no matter where you may be going to or coming from, you need to see what is on the path ahead of you. If your lights aren’t as bright as they once used to be, it may be time to have the battery checked or to get new lights – preferably the best LED driving lights!

Keep in mind that lights should not go dim if you are breaking, or you haven’t washed the vehicle in a while. Lights can be dim because they are not getting the power needed to be as bright as they ought to be – or they may have been damaged by rain and mud. Or, a globe may have blown.

Dim lights are okay for a short period of time, but do get your vehicle checked out to find out what the problem is.

More About LED Driving Lights

There are limits to how much power your ATV needs to perform its core duties on the trail. Adding massive lights can actually drain a usually sufficient system right to its core.

This is where LED lights come in very handy. The lights usually offer even more light and use slightly less power. This leaves you free to run other electrical accessories or gadgets during your adventures.

Sure, halogen lighting does have its place in off-road riding. But, the power robbing function and amber glow of halogen lights are just not efficient.

LED driving lights, on the other hand, draw much less power, which means you can save room for an extra accessory. The lights may also be purchased in a number of different hues. There are some manufacturers that offer colour changing programmers, which tends to be handy for hunters. For instance, you don’t want to drive around blasting out white headlight beams if you’re on the hunt for deer. So, with LED lights, you may have the option to try a red light or green light and avoid hitting feeding deer.
