You have plenty of choices when it comes to getting new headlights for your car. Since it is a simple repair, you may be tempted to head to the auto parts store and do it yourself. However, that would mean missing out on the many benefits of having the work performed at your local Detroit Ford dealer.

OEM Parts

When you have headlights installed at the dealership, you can be confident that you are getting high-quality parts that are compatible with your vehicle. The parts we use at Ford are designed specifically for your car or truck. They fit well and will work with all installed features.

The staff at the corner parts store don’t know your Ford as well as our technicians, which means you may end up with parts that don’t fit correctly, are compatible with your vehicle, or don’t best serve your needs. So, instead of saving time by doing the job yourself, you end up making repeat trips to find the correct parts.  

Knowledgeable Technicians

Ford’s service techs know your car inside and out. When swapping out the headlights, we can also check for any issues that might cause a light to fail beyond a bad bulb, such as a short in the wiring.

Familiarity with your vehicles also means that any repairs are done correctly, so you don’t have to worry about poor craftsmanship. Plus, we know our way around your car, so you’ll probably save on labor compared to a non-Ford repair shop.

Great Service and Parts Specials

Ford and your local dealership service center run some great specials that can help you save on things like headlight replacement. Plus, you can have other maintenance done at the same time. Many also offer extras you won’t find at an independent shop, such as a free shuttle to take you home or to work and warrantied parts.

Reasons To Install New Headlights

Perhaps the most obvious reason for getting a new set of headlights is that an old one has gone out. However, there are other reasons that you might want to consider. For example, if one bulb is no longer working, it’s a good idea to replace both of them. Matching bulbs typically have similar life spans, so doing them together will save you time and effort in the long run. Other reasons you might want to have a new set of headlights installed include:

  • A cracked lens
  • Poor night visibility
  • Flickering bulbs

Getting a new set of headlights is a basic but important maintenance task. When you need new bulbs installed in your car, schedule an appointment with Bob Maxey Ford in Detroit, MI, for professional and courteous service for your Ford vehicle.
