When you drive down a dark and winding road with your car, one of the things you count on is that other cars will be able to see you. This is due to the bulbs in the rear lights. Having a good quality lamp that is visible from a long distance ensures that you are noticed even in adverse weather conditions. As with a regular light bulb, taillight bulbs burn out over time and when they do, they need to be replaced quickly.
Here are some helpful tips for choosing taillight bulbs:
Check user manualA: You need to know the make, model and year of your vehicle. This information determines the type of lamp you will need. Buying the wrong light bulb means it may not work or you could damage the light itself.
Can you update: Determine if you can "upgrade" your lights. The tail light bulb that your vehicle comes with is factory standard. Maybe you can actually upgrade to a modern version that is brighter and may even last longer.
Driving conditions: Determine what your driving conditions are. If you live in an area that has a lot of fog, snow, or rain, you may need a different type of light bulb than if you live in a place that has a lot of bright sunny days.
Lamp TypeA: You will then need to select the actual bulb type you want - HID Xenon or Halogen. HID (High Intensity Discharge) xenon lamps are a modern option. They shine white and bright and are designed to mimic daylight. Meanwhile, halogen lamps tend to last a long time and still shine quite brightly.
Keep in mind that the tail light bulb is not an area where you want to save money, this is where you really want to invest in good quality as your safety depends on it.
