The headlights on your Porsche are probably not something you pay attention to when they’re working. But once your headlights are gone, you’ll quickly realize how much you depend on them. The lights on your car are an essential safety feature, and if they burn out, you’ll need to have new headlights installed. As your local Porsche dealer, we can maintain and replace your lights.

Your Headlights Are Fading

When headlights are nearing the end of their life, their brightness starts to decline. This happens gradually, and you may not notice it at first. But if you struggle to navigate darkened streets because your headlights aren’t bright enough, or if you sometimes question whether or not your headlights are on, you probably should have your lights checked out.

Your Headlights Are Yellowish

If your lights give off a hazy, yellowish glow instead of a direct beam of light, that can mean one of two things. You may be due for a new set of headlights, or your current headlights may need a good scrub. Dirt and grime can build up on the lens that covers your headlights, resulting in a yellowish glow.

Your Headlights Are Blinking On and Off

If one or both of your headlights are blinking on and off, you may have faulty wiring, or you may be due for a new set of headlights. Headlights sometimes blink when they are at the very end of their life, so don’t postpone maintenance.

Your Headlights Are Burned Out

If one or both of your headlights are out, that’s a sure sign that you need to book a service appointment right away. If one light is out, we recommend replacing both lights. Because headlights are typically installed together, if one light burns out, the other is probably not far behind.

What To Expect From Your Porsche Dealer

Fast, Professional Service

When you bring your Porsche in for headlight repair or replacement, your vehicle will be in the hands of one of our factory-trained technicians. Headlight work does not involve an extensive or lengthy service appointment. Most headlights can be repaired or replaced in about an hour, although you may opt to combine this with another service, like an oil change.

Long-Lasting Bulbs

If you need new bulbs installed, our service department will ensure that the correct bulb type for your model will be installed. Most of the bulbs we install last for up to 1,000 hours, and some last for even longer. Once new bulbs are on your vehicle, you won’t have to worry about your headlights again any time soon.  

Try not to wait until your headlights have burned out to schedule this service. When your vehicle needs headlight repair or replacement, head to Porsche Lincolnwood.
