What do headlight bulbs do?
Headlight bulbs are responsible for illuminating your vehicle’s headlights. Your headlights, located on the front of your car, are designed to give you maximum visibility while driving. They light the road in front of you at night, and can be used to improve visibility during adverse weather conditions. Just as importantly, headlights make your vehicle visible to oncoming traffic, making them a vital safety feature that must be properly maintained.
Lexus
Lexus is the luxury division of the Japanese automotive manufacturer Toyota.
The Lexus brand was launched in 1989, is marketed in more than 70 countries worldwide, and has become Japan’s largest-selling make of premium cars.
How popular is Lexus in the United Kingdom?
For such a high-flying global leader, Lexus has a seemingly modest 156k cars on the road in the UK today.
Luxury executive vehicles for the discerning driver
In the UK, the Lexus brand focuses heavily on the NX and RX SUV models, it’s the fastest growing market for family cars after all; but each of the hatchbacks, saloons and coupés in its range come with the same high-level of luxury and sophistication for their £25–£76k price tags.
Lexus design and technology
Lexus was born to present itself as a luxury brand, something Toyota wasn’t in a position to market to their typical customer given their existing brand perception. To achieve a true luxury standard, they have targeted both vehicle development as well as their lavish presentation.
‘Lexus Musts’
Each vehicle has to achieve 500 specific must have standards known as ‘Lexus Musts’, all of which are to attain the high-end presentation and performance of a ‘true’ luxury marque.
Although they might not all be ‘Lexus Musts’ you can expect to find criteria such as leather seat stitching, smart key entry, remote touch control systems, surround sound and reduced cabin noise that utilises acoustic glass, in your Lexus vehicle. And the driving technology is just as impressive: Lexus introduced continuously variable transmissions, regenerative brakes, hybrid and electric fuel options, as well as vehicle stability and integrated dynamic handling management systems.
How often should a headlight bulb need replacing?
This depends on the type of bulbs you have and on how much you use your headlights. Halogen bulbs will usually last for 500 - 1,000 hours, HID will need replacing after around 2,000 hours, Xenon is 10,000 hours, LED can last up to 30,000 hours.
The law, vehicle regulations and your MOT
According to UK law, drivers must have functioning headlights and must use them at night and when visibility is seriously reduced. A broken or faulty headlight puts you at risk of causing an accident and being pulled over and potentially fined by the police.
All headlamps are checked during an MOT and your car will fail if the headlights are broken or don't produce sufficient light. To save time and money be sure to check and replace your headlight bulbs regularly.
What causes a headlight bulb to break?
Headlight bulbs can break for a variety of reasons. For example, because of a blown fuse, if water has seeped into the light or over time they can simply wear out. The most important thing is that you replace the bulbs as soon as possible as it can be very dangerous to drive without them.
