Exterior Lighting - Vehicle Inspection
As a vehicle owner, it's important to ensure that your vehicle's exterior lighting is in good working condition for your safety. It's also a legal requirement in most jurisdictions. At MINI Edmonton in Edmonton, Alberta, we understand the importance of maintaining your vehicle, which is why we've prepared this article to guide you through the exterior lighting vehicle inspection process.
Headlights and High Beams
The first step in inspecting your vehicle's exterior lighting is to examine the headlights and high beams. Turn on your headlights and walk around your car to ensure both headlights function correctly. Then, turn on your headlights and push the high beam lever forward to check your high beams. Walk around your vehicle again to confirm that both high beams work well. If you notice that one of the headlights or high beams is out, it indicates that it's time to replace the bulb or have a certified mechanic assess the problem.
Turn Signals and Brake Lights
The next step is to check your turn signals and brake lights. Turn on your turn signals and walk around your vehicle to ensure the front and rear turn signal bulbs function correctly. Check your brake lights by having a friend press down on the brake pedal while you stand behind your vehicle. Both brake lights should light up brightly. If one or both brake lights are not working, it may be time to replace the bulb or take your vehicle to a certified mechanic.
Fog Lights and Other Exterior Lighting
Lastly, check your fog lights and any other exterior lighting your vehicle may have, such as parking or backup lights. Turn on your fog lights and walk around your car to ensure both lights work correctly. Check any other exterior lighting by turning on the corresponding switch and walking around your vehicle to ensure it functions perfectly.
