Tips For Carrying Out a Automotive Winter Lighting Check

When it comes to preparing your vehicles for the winter you should carry out the usual checks; battery, oil, tyres, anti freeze and screen wash. However millions of the people driving on the roads during the winter months forget to check the vehicle’s lighting. A simple “light check” ensures that vehicles are safe, not only for the driver to be able to see clearly but also for other road users to see you. Ensuring that all the lighting on a vehicle is working correctly and are in good working order is a huge road safety benefit for all.

The easiest way to carry out a light check is to either have a helping hand or park in such a position that you can clearly see if the lights are working or not by reflection. Check each bulb at a time Headlights (dipped and main beam), sidelights, front fog lights, rear fog lights, front indicators, rear indicators, stop tail and reverse lights making sure all are functioning right. Remember with the long nights and the high traffic commuting periods you are going to be relying on your lights for a longer amount of time. Should you find that one of your bulbs has failed or are not functioning correctly is important to replace the bulb as soon as possible.
