REPLACE

IN PAIRS

 

For optimal performance and visibility on the road, Wagner recommends changing headlights in pairs. When one of your headlights burn out, it is likely that it won’t be long before the other bulb burns out. Changing your headlights in pairs ensures that you can see and be seen in lowlight conditions.

INSTALLATION

TIPS

 

Don’t touch the glass of the new bulb with your fingers. The oil from your skin may react with the glass and cause the bulb to heat unevenly which could result in the bulb burning out prematurely.

Handle the bulb by the socket using a cloth or while wearing gloves. Before replacing the bulb, make sure that the electrical connector at the back of the headlight isn’t loose or damaged. A corroded socket or faulty wire could cause the new bulb to not light up when you install it.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT BULB

From where you drive to what conditions you drive in, there are many factors that go into selecting the right Wagner replacement bulb for your vehicle. Factors to consider are:

1. Vehicle - What kind of lights did your vehicle come equipped with from the factory?
2. Conditions - What type of environment do you drive in? Do you do a lot of night driving or on rural or poorly lit roads?
3. Weather - Do you live in an area that experiences a lot of snow, rain or fog?
4. Cost - Are you willing to pay for premium features/technology?
