Long Beach, Bixby Knolls Headlamp Repair

Headlamp Repair has gone a long way over the past few years along with headlamp technology. Headlamps, can also be referred to as headlights. A good set of headlamps can really make the difference in hazardous weather. With a wide but focused beam of light they can save lives of you, your passengers from or wayward oncoming traffic. Most older vehicles had to settle for dull and discolored headlamps and quote often out of adjustments. Headlamps come in a variety of types from classic sealed beams to modern halogen lights, xenon and even LED bulbs. Additionally, we can choose from the brightest white light or a 7-color RGB DRL Bar headlamp for off-road vehicles.

Finding the right replacement bulbs for your vehicle is crucial to a safe ride and maintaining visibility. Like many products out there, not all headlamps are the same. So you should always refer to your owner’s manual for the specific bulbs you may need. Do you need a whole replacement headlamp assembly or do you have an H4 conversion and only need to find a headlamp compatible with your housing. Replacing some bulbs requires dismantling components under the hood. Sometimes an electric relay may be burnt out and prevents electrical power from reaching the headlights. If this seems a bit overwhelming feel free to visit Orozco’s Auto Service of Long Beach, Bixby Knolls our ASE certified technicians have the tools and the know how to install the right light the first time.

Acrylic headlamps lenses info
When exposed to UV light acrylic (a type of plastic) headlamps will oxidize. This is due to the fact that headlight lenses are manufactured with a clear top coat to help prevent the oxidization. But like most things, eventually that coating will wear off. In time direct sunlight yellows the hard plastic. Visit Orozco’s Auto Service and our ASE certified technicians can make them look new again with special cleaners and polishes, and a hard protective finish. In most cases it’s much less expensive than having the lenses replaced.

Below are headlamps products available in today’s market

LED HEADLAMPS – Activate with a speed that almost makes them almost automatic headlamps. small and compact, but unfortunately get very hot and need expensive components to make them fully efficient.

PROJECTOR HEADLAMPS – Once only found in European performance cars, but today they are common.

H4 CONVERSIONS – The most accessible aftermarket upgrade the average driver can make to their driving lights.

HID HEADLAMPS (XENON HEADLAMPS) – high-intensity headlamps give the most visibility to the driver. After filling a glass tube with Xenon gas, an arc of electric current is run through the bulb to produce incredibly hot plasma-filled white-blue lights.

REFLECTOR HEADLAMPS – These are the oldest of the bunch and were often considered dull stock headlamps.

HALOGEN HEADLAMPS – Combine two gasses to create a more efficient lighting environment than old-school filament bulbs.

Even though your headlamps are the most recognized lights on your vehicle there are also many other important lights. Brake lights, turn-signal lights, back-up lights, license-plate lights, fog lights, and more. With so many lights regular inspections should always be a regular part of your vehicles maintenance schedule. Additionally, Highway Safety Codes designate headlights and other automotive lights as part of your vehicle’s safety equipment. So, you can avoid a fine by ensuring that all your lights are working properly.
