Why Maintaining Turn Signal Lights is Important
Your car uses turn signal lights as a messaging system to let other drivers know whether you are planning to turn or change lanes. If turn signals are broken or malfunctioning, they can cause accidents and dangerous situations. G-VIEW has been manufacturing automotive LED lights for 15 years now, and we understand and appreciate the importance of these small lights. If you don’t keep your turn signals maintained, other drivers will misinterpret your intentions, increasing the chances of dangerous situations, especially during heavy traffic or inclement weather. Car safety in general is more about the overall well-being of everyone, and turn signal maintenance is part of that.
How to Check Your Car's Turn Signal Lights Routine Check Up
Maintaining your turn signal lights is a work that can be accomplished single handed. To initiate the check up, switch your car on without starting the engine. Next, test the left and right signal switches as you would normally do. While doing that, walk around the vehicle and observe whether each light is flashing. If any light is dim, flickering, or not functioning, it requires servicing. Alternatively, you could ask a friend to observe the lights while you move the control levers. The G-VIEW LED turn signals were developed with an expectation to flashing indicators, thus any abnormal alterations in brightness or release, signals issues.
Common Problems and Solutions
The most frequent issue happens to be a burnt-out bulb. When compared to older halogen bulbs, G-VIEW's LED turn signal bulbs have a longer lifespan, but they are not immune to failure. The remedy for a burnt bulb is to remove and replace it with a new one. Ensure you get the right fit. G-VIEW offers brake light and turn signal bulbs for most vehicles. Loose connections may also create problems. Wiring can get loosened from bumpy road driving. You can look at the sockets to ensure they are clean and tight. If lights are flashing too fast, it may signal a burnt bulb, a failing relay, or another issue.
Safeguarding Your Turn Signal Lights While Cleaning Them
Your turn signal lights may be difficult to see because dirt, mud, or snow can gather on the signal lenses. It is best to clean your signal lights while washing the vehicle. Gently rub the lens with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution. Do not use harsh chemicals, as these may scratch the plastic covering the lens. G-VIEW's LED turn signal lights are built to last and will withstand moderate shaking, but the lenses must be free of dirt and mud to ensure brightness. Additionally, practice looking for cracks around the lenses. If there is a crack, dirt, dust, or water will enter the lens and potentially damage the bulb or the wiring. Remove the lenses and replace with new ones immediately if cracks are visible.
When to replace your turn signal lights
Like any other car component, turn signal bulbs have a limited lifespan, even with regular care. G-VIEW's LED bulbs have a longer lifespan, but their light emission may decrease over time. If they start buzzing or flashing frequently, or if their brightness has reduced significantly, it's time to replace them. You do not need to have any special skills to install G-VIEW turn signal lights; installation is simple. To suit various preferences, we offer OEM/ODM services—this means you can have the bulbs made to fit your car perfectly. Replacing them early helps to maintain the vehicle in good condition and prevents the risk of getting a ticket for a malfunctioning light.
