Before a night drive, you see that one of your car's two headlights has burned out. The other one still works on both high and low beam. What should you do?
Correct answer: Replace the burned-out lamp first, because a car must have two working white headlights.
Why
Two headlights, one on each side, show other drivers the width of your car and its position on the road. With only one light, an oncoming driver can take your car for a motorcycle and misjudge how much room it needs. Clean your headlights as often as your windshield, because dirt can cut their light by up to 75 percent, and have their aim checked at least once a year.
