Headlights make it easier for others to see you in the rain. There are 27 states that currently have a “wipers on, headlights on” law. Visibility is greatly decreased when it rains, so when the headlights are on, others can see you better.
With an estimated 25% of vehicles in need of new wiper blades, everything you can do to make your vehicle more visible is a step in the right direction.
Your headlights do not necessarily make it easier for you to see the road, but it helps others see you. They are designed to light up the road and allow others to see you coming, but will not reflect back at the driver. So slow down, turn your headlights on and drive defensively. (FYI the Chevy Silverado headlights on the featured image can be found here.)

You do not need a trained mechanic to change your headlight, as it is a fairly simple process. In most cases, you do not need any special tools, but you will need some time. There are several types of headlights, but each is relatively simple to change. A “sealed beam” headlight is generally held in with a retainer that goes around the edge.
A Composite headlight uses a halogen bulb which is held in by a retainer inserted from behind the capsule. Do not touch a halogen bulb with bare fingers or it will greatly shorten the life of the bulb.
The only exceptions are HID or Xenon headlamps, they do require someone that has some knowledge about this type of headlight. Remember, when changing a headlight, use the same type. Sealed beams come in standard or halogen. If you mix them, no damage will occur, but they will have different intensity.
Many people are unaware when it is appropriate to use the high beam or low beam. In general, the low beam should be the lamps that are used for most driving conditions.
Low beams, when properly adjusted, light up the road and objects up to the same height as the headlight itself. The distance is approximately 160 feet. If Xenon or HID headlights are used, there actually seems to be a line in front of you at about half that distance, but they illuminate the same distance.
High beams illuminate 500 feet or more as well as the light spreading up, down, and to both sides. This is why high beams are not useful in snow, rain, or fog. The light simply shines right back at you. High beams are designed for roads where you need to see far, high or wide.
Fog lamps are designed primarily for one purpose, to keep the light low, wide and with minimal distance, so you can see what is directly in front of you without causing a blinding condition for yourself or others.
Driving lamps are designed to make it easier to see low, far and wide, such as on a winding country road. When a vehicle comes around a bend, the driver will not be blinded. Keep your lights adjusted properly and use the correct beam for the correct driving condition.
Projector headlights concentrate the light where it is needed. The beam is also stronger than a standard headlight. Some projector lights have a unique “Halo” effect, which gives your vehicle a custom look and can also be tied into the parking light circuit and used as a daytime running light.
Simply explained, projector lamps use a specially designed reflector combined with a shade between the reflector and the specially designed condenser lens. Combining all of the above elements, engineers can force the light to project in a specific direction.
The shade can be either fixed, in which case a second bulb would be necessary for the high beam, or attached to an actuator, which would adjust when hi beams were called for. Many projector headlights are also self-leveling, which means the lamps level themselves to a predetermined angle regardless of the weight distribution of the vehicle.
HID, or Xenon headlamps is an abbreviation for High-Intensity Discharge. These lamps require an AC power source as opposed to a DC power source, so the use of ballast is required. These headlights are the ones you see on the road with a bluish tint. They are similar in design to argon gas bulbs that are used commercially. Xenon gas is combined with a metal halide lamp to produce light.
Xenon allows the lights to reach full intensity faster than other gases. These lamps operate at a much higher temperature than other types of lamps but also produce much more light(lumens) from much less wattage, which leads to better visibility. They can lead to excessive road glare for other drivers, as well as the fact that they may contain mercury.
ECE stands for Economic Commission for Europe, which is a standard set by the United Nations in 1958 for motor vehicles. The United States and Canada are the only 2 countries that do not adhere to these standards.
SAE is an abbreviation for the Society of Automotive Engineers, which is the body that sets the standards for cars manufactured in the USA. Canada has special standards, which are broadly similar to the US. The largest differences in the standards are for headlights and bumpers.
The headlights for the ECE do not meet the higher standards for the US market. This difference was most notable when the US required sealed beams as opposed to other types of lamps. There are still vast differences in the standards, such as glare rating and direction of the light emitted from the headlights.
A headlight relay is what turns the headlamps on and is basically an electromechanical switch. When power is delivered to the relay, the circuit closes and allows the headlights to turn on. Remove the power source, the circuit opens and cuts power to the headlights.
The easiest way to test a standard relay is as follows; First, locate the relay. Touch it gently as there is the possibility of it being hot if there is a short. Next, touch the relay while someone else turns the key to the ‘run’ position, without starting the vehicle. You should feel (and possibly hear) the relay ‘click’ which means it is operating properly. If it is good, you need further diagnosis. If it is defective, it needs to be replaced.
It is very important to care for your headlights. You must inspect frequently for cracks, chips, or discoloration. All of these will affect visibility at night. You should check them each time you fuel your vehicle. If cracking or chipping is present, eventually, water or moisture will get in and greatly shorten bulb life.
Headlights should never be allowed to become extremely dirty. If it is snowing or icing conditions exist, you should take an opportunity to clean them off if traffic conditions allow. Before heading out in these conditions, be sure to clean the headlights (and tail lamps) before driving.
Keystone supplies replacement headlamps for many vehicles. They do not supply HID or Xenon replacements, but they do supply CAPA certified headlamps as well as non-certified. The difference is that the certified headlamps are tested to be sure they meet the original specifications, while the non-certified do not. They all come off of the same assembly line, but when the insurance companies are paying the bill, they insist on the certified line as replacements.
