The lights on your car are there to improve safety for both the driver and other road users. They allow you to drive in poor visibility while ensuring pedestrians know you are there when crossing the road. When one is blown, this safety is jepardised. Blown bulbs, loose sockets or electrical disruption can all contribute to light issues on a vehicle. And when these are noticed, it’s imperative that you fix this problem quickly. That’s where our team at Axminster Autos comes in – to help ensure you can clearly see the road ahead of you at all times.
Have you been flashed by other drivers or noticed your visibility has depreciated?

It may be time to have the bulbs on your car inspected and/or replaced

How we work

We always advise bulbs and lights be checked visually to ensure they are in full working order. Our mechanics will first discuss the issues you’re having to help better understand where the route of the problem may be. We’ll check each bulb to identify whether it has blown or the issue is electrical instead. And, once the problem is highlighted, our mechanics will provide you with a fair and honest quote to get your car back on the road. We can fit bulbs quickly or advise on upgrades that could help to improve the amount of light your vehicle lets off during evening drives.

Common Questions

What bulb do I need for my car?

The best place to find this information is in your car manufacturer manual. Alternatively, the team here at Axminster Autos will be able to advise.

How do I know if my car bulbs need replacing?

We recommend replacing your car bulbs if:

They are flickering
They are dimmer than normal
You’ve constantly changing fuses
Some lights are working and some aren’t

Should I replace my car bulbs in pairs?

Yes. By replacing the pair of bulbs, you’ll reduce the risk of unbalanced or unpredictable beams which can pose a safety risk to you and other motorists.

Can I replace my car bulbs myself?

Some car lights are relatively straightforward to replace yourself. However, if you’re unsure about the process, you can do more damage to the car in the process. We recommend letting an experienced mechanic change this component for you.
