They’re designed to throw a crisp, legal beam pattern without dazzling oncoming traffic, and they’re part of the car’s safety system just as much as brakes and tyres.

As part of regular servicing, it’s smart to check operation on both low and high beam, indicators and park lamps around the headlamp cluster, and beam aim. Cloudy lenses can cut usable light—polishing or restoring the lens can bring performance back. If a bulb’s gone, replace both sides in pairs so brightness and colour match. On halogen globes, avoid touching the glass
