The sun is setting earlier and daylight savings will be here here here before we realize, which means our evening commute will be at or after dusk each evening. The headlight condition on our vehicle plays are very large role in a safe commute.  Proper headlight maintenance is important to the safety of you, your passengers and other drivers and passengers on the road.  

Clean and bright headlights are a necessary component to any vehicle. A properly adjusted and clean headlight can play a large role in safety and make a large difference on weather or not you see that obstable in the road, road markings and signs.  Headlights inevitably become fogged and dirty, the bulbs burn out or burn dim.  A bright and clear headlight can give you a few extra seconds in response time to that obstacle in the road - pothole, person crossing, animal in the road, debris in the road etc. The brighter the headlight the safer the ride.

According to carcare.org - " A survey from SYLVANIA Automotive found that 62 percent of motorists avoid driving during evening hours. The same survey found that while 28 percent of drivers have difficulty seeing hazards and other drivers on the road at night, 34 percent of drivers have never changed out their headlights. 47 percent of surveyed drivers said they would be likely to change their headlights if they knew it would improve the safety of loved ones and other passengers"
