The Diminishing Impact of Headlights
Headlights gradually lose brightness over time, with the potential to diminish visibility by up to 50 feet before burning out. This significant reduction in visibility is comparable to the length of a tractor trailer, highlighting the importance of timely replacement. Drivers are encouraged to change their headlights proactively to maintain optimal visibility on the road. Sylvania emphasizes that their headlights are designed to provide a brighter, wider beam to enhance road visibility and reduce glare.
