Well 2024 is finally here and with it comes all the bright, shiny, exciting plans you have for the brand-new year! But, are you sure your ride can keep up? When was the last time you replaced your headlights? Make sure your ride is ready to illuminate all the adventures you have ahead and take a look at Bennington Nissan’s DIY guide on replacing your headlights! Check that out below, and if you feel as though you don’t have the time or tools to take on the job yourself, be sure to schedule a service appointment at our Nissan Service Center today!
Bennington Nissan’s Guide To Replacing A Headlight:
- Pop your hood and prop it open using the provided stand or another sturdy object to keep it open.
- Remove the power connector from the back of the headlight. This may require a slight turn or jiggle to get it loose.
- Remove the dust cover from the back of the headlight. This also may require a small twist to get loose.
- Some cars have a clip that holds the bulb in place. Press down on this clip to release the light bulb.
- Grasp the housing of the bulb and pull it out. This step may require a little wiggling to get it loose. Do not pull the bulb by the glass or tug the bulb roughly. This could cause it to break and may result in injury.
- Holding the old bulb and new bulbs by their housings, compare to make sure they match.
- To guarantee your bulb is free of dust and fingerprints, gently wipe it with a pre-moistened alcohol wipe or rubbing alcohol on a dust-free cloth.
- Line up the bulb housing with the open socket and insert carefully. Make sure it’s secure.
- Slide the bulb back in place and twist if necessary to make sure it’s locked into its spot.
- Replace the clip (if you have one), dust cover, and power connector.
- Turn on your headlights to ensure the bulb and connection are working.
- Close the hood and give yourself a round of applause!
The new year is just around the corner, bringing with it resolutions and goals you’d like to achieve in the upcoming months! Perhaps one of those goals is to finally upgrade to your dream Nissan model. As a practical shopper, you understand the importance of taking a vehicle out for a spin before making such a significant purchase. However, even during a test drive, it might be challenging to know exactly what to look for. Allow us to provide you with a few tips! Explore Bennington Nissan’s list below and embark on your next test drive with confidence!
Bennington Nissan’s Test Drive Tips:
Entering the vehicle:
- Is the vehicle easy to get into? Do you have enough room to enter and exit the vehicle without bumping your head? Can you maneuver easily? – These are important things to note. If you are having a difficult time, you may want to look at a vehicle with a little more space. Sometimes comparing two different sized vehicles can help you decide which is a better option to fit your lifestyle.
The Ride:
- How does the vehicle ride? Is it easy to steer? Is there any cabin noise or blind spots that hinder your sight? How does the vehicle brake– do you feel comfortable with the vehicle’s ability to come to a stop? – The ride is one of the most important things to look at during a test drive. You want to feel comfortable and confident in the vehicle you take home, it is important to test for features that will enhance this.
After The Test Drive:
- What is the maintenance schedule and how much are those services? Does the vehicle have a warranty? – Asking questions after the test drive will give you a better feel for the vehicle and how much maintenance the vehicle needs and what you may need to pay for. Your salesperson can answer all and any questions that may come up during the car buying process. Don’t be afraid to ask, you need to know all the details about the vehicle that you are purchasing.
Take Time:
- There is no rush when it comes to buying a vehicle, our goal is to sell you a vehicle you love for a price your wallet will appreciate! If you need to take a second test drive, by all means, take one! We are here to help you get into the perfect vehicle.

When considering the safety features on your vehicle, airbags, emergency brakes, and blind spot monitoring technology likely come to mind. However, it’s essential not to overlook a crucial component – your windshield wipers. Often underestimated and forgotten, these wipers play a significant role in your daily driving experience. Therefore, it’s important to ensure they are in excellent condition and regularly inspect them for signs of wear and tear. Are you familiar with the warning signals indicating that your wipers are worn out? Do you know the factors to prolonging their lifespan? Explore the information below, and if your vehicle requires substantial maintenance, schedule a service appointment with the Bennington Nissan team today!
When you’re checking out your wiper blades, look for these indicators of wear:
- Broken frame: detachment of frame arms at joints or connection points.
- Metal Corrosion: especially at joints and claws.
- Visible cracks, tears, and missing pieces in the rubber squeegee’s edge.
- Flex rubber squeegee back and forth to see if it is still flexible. Aged squeegees will have difficulty conforming to the shape of your windshield and create streaks.
- Check squeegee wiping edge for rounded edges which can prevent the wiper blade from making strong contact with the windshield and reduces wipe quality.
- Tug to ensure the wiper blade has been securely installed on the wiper arm.
- Check that squeegee is secure in the wiper frame.
Your wipers can break down due to several factors:
- Sun: Ultraviolet light and ozone deterioration
- Oil: Car waxes and exhaust hold rubber-deteriorating oil
- Airborne debris: Sand, mud and dust carried in the wind
- Moisture: Acid rain and salt water (in moist air both near the shore and inland)

Tires
- It’s no secret your tires are important to your performance
- If your tire tread is looking worn-down, has metal showing through the rubber, or crack and cuts it might be time for new ones
Engine Fluids

- Also, ensure that your spare tire is fully inflated and that you have the proper tools to change out a blown tire
