How can you tell if a headlamp is a halogen bulb?
In a lamp unit fitted with a bulb, this is easy to check: remove the bulb, hold it up to the light and see if any filaments are broken. A halogen headlamp uses more power, but gives more than twice the illumination. If the bulb is of the halogen type, it should not be touched with the fingers.
What to look for when checking headlamps and lights?
Checks on wiring and connections must include the spring-loaded contacts, where that type of bayonet bulb holder has been used. A sticking plunger could result in the failure of the lights in that unit, while failure of an insulating washer could mean a short circuit and a dimming of all the lights, or cause a fuse to blow.
Why do I get an error message when I replace a light bulb?
If the error message persists even with the stock bulb, then there may be something wrong with the electrical system of your vehicle which may need professional assistance. However, if the error message disappears when the stock bulb is replaced, then proceed to the next step.
What happens if you buy the wrong headlight bulb?
A right bulb can change the dimension of your car and can enhance visibility in a big amount. Don’t just end up the process by purchasing a wrong headlight. First, check out the instruction manual of the company or do your own research to buy a headlight bulb for your car, a well-fit bulb. If you require the pair of bulbs, change both of them.

What should I do if my headlight is not working?
Unplug the light, pull the switch, and see if the fuse blows. If not, the problem is not in the wiring. Make sure you have purchased the correct wattage of bulb. Ensure that you do not have a faulty or damaged bulb. Check and see if your high beam bulb is the issue. If so, replace it. Check all wired connections and look for any exposed wiring.
Why are my headlights not working in high beam?
If just one bulb fails to work in either high beam mode or low beam mode, it may be the bulb. Most headlight failures that are limited to just high or low beams are related to a relay or the high beam control switch.
