There are fewer hours of natural light in the winter, reducing visibility on the road. This post by Select Synthetics in Geraldton delves into the importance of lighting during the wintertime. Scroll down!

Once this season arrives, you'll even notice that the sun will dim during the day, and this change will probably clog the sight of many drivers. If you want to avoid the challenges that come with the winter, ensure that other vehicles can see you and make sure you can see the road as clear as possible.

Lighting is Key

Taking care of your car's lights can improve your vision despite the weather, and you must review those parts of the vehicle. Don't put yourself in danger by getting used to driving with low beams on, unless your car is equipped with daytime running lights.

Look Out for Burned Out Bulbs

Turn all lights on to verify which ones have burned out. Driving without a light reduces your field of vision, confuses the drivers around you, and puts you at risk if those few lights break down during the night. Replace all burned out bulbs, including the ones around the license plate.

Adjust Headlights

Poorly placed headlights reduce the road's lighted area; if the headlights are too high, they will dazzle the traffic circulating in the opposite direction, causing risky situations, such as exits from the road, run over, and collisions. To ensure your headlights are in the correct position, please park your car in front of a vertical wall on a flat floor and look closely to check everything is in the right spot.

• Fog lights: fog lights are not a necessity for the front part of the vehicle since, due to their low placement, they tend to break easily since they receive frequent blows due to their position. If you mount them on your car, verify that their condition and operation are working correctly, as they are a vital help.

Windshield Wiper Blades

There is nothing more uncomfortable than driving on a rainy day with a damaged blade that's turning the windshield hazier. Make sure they are well cleaned and degreased. Throw away those with a broken or detached rubber edge since it's much more expensive to fix a scratched windshield than to change the wipers. Sometimes, although they look good on the outside, the gum can be dry after the summer heat. Pour water on the wiper and verify if they still sweep well; if not, change them.

Windshield Washer Fluid

Some cars have a system that heats the windshield wiper's water to clean deeper while also preventing it from freezing in low temperatures. If your vehicle doesn't have this system, different soaps reduce the windshield washer water's freezing point. In addition to ensuring that fluid will always come out when you need it, it will help you defrost your windshield in the morning and prevent breakage of the hoses, pump, and fluid container.

Headlight Washers

If your car has xenon ones, you are obliged to install headlight washers to ensure their cleaning and prevent ice or snow from accumulating on them. Halogen headlights don't have this problem, as the heat given off by the bulb keeps them defrosted, but the xenon lamps and LEDs don't generate enough temperature to melt ice residues. Please be careful since an ice-covered headlamp barely illuminates the road and confuses oncoming traffic.

Clean the Windows' Inside

The inside of the car windows always produces a thin layer of grease and dirt, especially if you are a smoker. This film on the glass promotes fog formation and dramatically reduces night vision, even if it's defrosted. Clean the inside of all car windows to prevent fogging and improve your vision of the road.
