Getting New Headlights for Your Chevy, Buick, or GMC Vehicle

Headlights are one of the longest-lasting parts of the car. Your headlights may still work after five or six years, though they’re usually past their prime by this time. How often you need to get new headlights will depend on how often you use them and whether or not the headlight unit is in good condition. Let’s look at signs that it’s time to head to the Chevy dealer.

When to Get New Headlights for Your Chevy, Buick, or GMC Vehicle From Your Chevy Dealer

When the Headlights Are Physically Damaged

The headlights can get damaged in accidents, and they can also sustain some damage even if you never get into a collision. If something hits the headlight casing, then the casing might crack, and the bulb inside may also shatter. If one or both of your headlights are damaged, then you need to get to the dealer as soon as you can.

When the Headlights Are Sun-Damaged

The sun can do some damage to your headlight casing. The UV rays can make the unit appear cloudy or yellowed, which then makes the light from the bulbs appear hazy or yellowed. You may need to have more than just the bulb replaced if the sun has damaged the headlight casing.

When the Headlights Are Dim

Headlights become less effective as the years go on. The light emitting from your headlights gets dimmer, reducing visibility. The headlights should be replaced as soon as you notice any significant dimming.

When the Headlights Start to Flicker

Flickering is a tell-tale sign that a bulb is going to burn out soon. When one or both of your headlights start flickering, you know it’s time to head to the dealer for new bulbs.

When the Headlights Burn Out

One day, you may try to activate the headlights and find that they’ve completely burned out. This is a clear sign you need to replace the bulbs, although you could also be having an electrical issue, so your mechanic may inspect the car’s electrical system. One headlight may burn out before the other, but both should be replaced when this happens.

How Can You Make the Headlights Last?

Making the headlights last is a matter of only using them when you need them. Be very careful not to accidentally leave them on all night, as this can shorten their lifespan. Parking in a garage can help you avoid some UV damage to the headlight casing, and it may also help you avoid the headlights accidentally getting hit by something while you’re not in the vehicle. Avoiding bumpy and debris-strewn roads when you can is also a good idea.

Is it time for newer, brighter headlights? Come to Bacon Auto County Inc. so our mechanics can replace your old headlights with some fresh new bulbs.

What You Need To Know

This versatile, well-built half-ton truck is perfect for daily use, engineered to work hard while regularly carrying light loads.  Available since the end of 2022, this is a durable and resilient five-person truck with optimum power and increased efficiency that drives extremely well on challenging roads and can tackle off-road journeys with ease, too.

New Features 

This version of the Silverado has increased power with its reformed turbocharged 3.0 liter Duramax engine, increasing output to 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque. It also boasts a modified combustion bowl, updated fuel injectors, and different pistons, which aid strength and create a more dynamic truck altogether.

The interior has benefitted from a 10-way power driver’s seat and power lumbar control. It now has the option for a crew cab and an adult-length bed to provide optimum comfort for passengers and increased space for cargo. The new option of a 5.3-liter V-8 engine gives more speed and increased efficiency. If you pick this engine, you can then add the upgraded Z71 off-road package, which turns tough journeys into an absolute pleasure.

How Safe Is It?

Every model is fitted with several excellent driver-assistance features like Adaptive Cruise Control and Park Assist. The top-tier High Country model offers the addition of both GM hands-free driver technology and Super Cruise. Its safety is increased by the forward collision warnings and an automated emergency braking system.With this in mind, the technology can also monitor blind spots, alert you to traffic at the rear, and warn you if you drift lanes.

Engine and Performance

The Silverado is blessed with many engine/transmission combinations, the most impressive being the 6.2-liter, which can thrust the vehicle from 0 to 60 mph in less than 6 seconds. Its 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque make it a real force to be reckoned with. Other engines available include two V-8s, the turbocharged four-cylinder, and the Duramax diesel 3-liter inline-six, allowing the powerful Silverado to provide an effortless, smooth ride.

Comfort

The soft padding and support maintain comfort even on long journeys and while driving off-road, plus you can barely feel any small impacts from uneven surfaces. Climate Control allows you to alter the temperature inside the cabin, with the addition of ventilated, split-headed front seats if you wish.

Any truck including the LT trim and upwards has a sleek, updated dashboard with a gigantic 12.3-inch, accessible touchscreen. The High-Country is especially attractive with its leather interior and wood trim. The crew cab is adorned with a spacious back seat and compact storage is scattered throughout the cabin. Bed lengths vary from 5.8-to-8.1 feet, providing comfortable rest when needed.
