Why it matters around Zion
Short winter days along the lakefront mean many Zion drivers commute in the dark from November through February. Salt spray and moisture corrode bulb sockets and connectors, and years of sun haze headlight lenses. A quick lighting check before winter keeps you visible on Sheridan Road and Route 173.
Questions and answers
Why does my new bulb keep burning out?
Repeated failures usually come from a corroded socket, a loose connection, moisture in the housing or a charging system problem. We look for the cause.
Can hazy headlights be fixed without replacing them?
Often yes. Restoring the lens removes the yellow haze and brings back light output. Lenses that are cracked or hazy on the inside need replacement.
Should I replace headlight bulbs in pairs?
Yes, it is a good idea. Bulbs dim with age, so replacing both keeps the light even.
