Driving with fully functioning headlights is an absolute necessity when you’re on the road in the dark at night or facing inclement weather. As your headlight bulbs start to wear out, they turn yellow, dim, and finally burn out. To avoid the dangers of driving without proper lights, note the signs below and get your INFINITI Q50, QX55, or QX80 to your INFINITI dealer as soon as possible for new headlights, and stay safe on the road.

Your Headlights Are Yellow and Dim 

Dim or yellowed headlights can make it difficult to see the road ahead and increase the risk of accidents. If your headlights show wear and are not as bright as they used to be, it could be something as simple as dirty or damaged covers or bulbs that need replacing. A wiring issue could also cause the light to dim. The best course of action is to ask your INFINITI technician to take a look and sort out the problem to increase your visibility on the road.

Your Headlights Are Flickering

Worn or damaged bulb filament can cause your headlights to flicker on and off, seriously impairing your visibility. When your headlights start flickering, it won’t be long before the bulb burns out completely. If you replace the bulb, but the light is still going on and off, it could be due to a bad connection. Your INFINITI technician will quickly pinpoint the issue and perform the necessary repairs.

A Headlight Bulb Is Burned Out

If one of your headlights is not working, chances are that it probably burned out. Headlights are usually replaced together in pairs to ensure a uniform distribution of light to maximize visibility, especially at night. This means the other will soon follow when one bulb has burned out or is less effective. 

You Have Issues With Your High Beams

If you’re experiencing issues with your high beams, driving in the dark can be dangerous. If your high beams aren’t turning on while your low beams are working, it could be due to a burned-out bulb, a problem with the wiring, or a blown fuse. To avoid potential risks, check the fuses and replace the bulb immediately. If the high beam still gives you problems, don’t compromise your safety; head to your dealer for a headlight repair.

The Fuses Constantly Blow

Blown fuses and headlight trouble could be due to electrical and wiring problems. Constantly blown fuses are not something you can put off and need to be addressed as soon as possible. If you suspect your car has electrical issues, get it checked out by your INFINITI technician ASAP. 


Ensuring that your car’s headlights are in good working condition and providing enough light is crucial to ensure your safety behind the wheel of your vehicle.
