It could be that one doesn\u2019t turn on, or both don\u2019t turn on, or that they\u2019re just a little dim, or that they get dimmer sometimes and brighten up other times. In any situation, none of these are good and all should get looked at by your dealer so that your lights will be back in business ASAP.

High-intensity discharge (HID) headlights can also die because of other components.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"font-weight: normal;\">\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">When neither of the headlights work &#8211; Bulbs usually don\u2019t burn out together, but it\u2019s still important to rule that out by checking for power, but it was probably caused by a bad component like a fuse, relay, or module, or even by bad wiring.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"font-weight: normal;\">\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">When your high beam headlights don\u2019t work or your low beams don\u2019t work &#8211; If just one bulb won\u2019t work in either high beam mode or low beam mode, it could be a busted bulb. Most headlight failures that are limited to just high or low beams are related to a relay or the high beam control switch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"font-weight: normal;\">\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">When your headlights work but seem dim &#8211; If your headlights always seem dim, the problem could be foggy lenses or worn out bulbs. If they get dimmer and brighter intermittently, it could be a problem in your charging system. Give your headlights a wash with some cleaning solution to make sure they\u2019re not just dirty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Information from <\/span><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lifewire.com\/fix-non-working-headlights-4137021\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial; color: #1155cc; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; -webkit-text-decoration-skip: none; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">https:\/\/www.lifewire.com\/fix-non-working-headlights-4137021<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row blog_row\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"row blog_row\">\n<div id=\"featured_video\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"cta\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youngernissan.com\/explore-services.html \"><button class=\"cta_button\">Let Us Help You, Too<\/button><\/a><\/div>\n<div id=\"social-media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fredericknissan\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"find-us-live\" src=\"https:\/\/clients.oomdo.com\/blog_dev\/images\/find-us.png\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Do you ever get into your vehicle, turn on your lights, and find out that your headlights just aren\u2019t what they used to be?
