Maintaining and restoring your Toyota headlights

car maintenance

They're your car's first line of defense when driving at night, in the rain, and in the fog. They warn other drivers that you're there and keep you safe during low visibility driving. Your car headlights are every bit as important as the engine and making they're shining bright is essential to having a safe driving experience. Maintaining and even restoring your headlights doesn't require an expert's knowledge in auto service and Toyota of Clermont is here to show you just how easy it is to keep your headlights working perfectly.

Replacing your headlight bulbs

Replace your fading bulbs. Luckily, replacing burnt out car headlight bulbs is very straightforward and doesn't require you to be a master in auto service. Just open your car hood, look to the bottom left and right-hand corners (closest to you) and near the back of the headlight assembly. Usually, the headlight assembly will be located there, and you can unscrew the bulb socket and replace the old bulb with a new one.

  • Laser
  • HID/Arc
  • Incandescent/Halogen

Restoring foggy car headlights. If it's not the bulbs, then it's likely a foggy headlight assembly cover. Debris and residue can build up on your headlights and cause them to shine less bright over time. Having our Clermont auto service department restore them for you is always an option, but if you're looking for more of a DIY approach, here are some instructions on how to effectively use a restoration kit on your headlights:
