What We Do?Light ChangesOur Services

Lights are often overlooked but are a vital safety feature for 18-wheelers. Over time, bulbs burn out, electrical connections can corrode, and lenses may become foggy or damaged, reducing visibility. Neglecting regular maintenance on your lighting system can not only increase the risk of accidents but also lead to violations during inspections. Keeping your lights in working order helps ensure the safety of your drivers and reduces the risk of citations.

At Dragon Diesel Mechanical, we provide comprehensive light maintenance services, including:

• Replacing burned-out headlights for better night visibility
• Changing brake lights and turn signals to ensure proper communication with other drivers
• Inspecting and replacing marker lights for clear visibility in low light conditions
• Checking wiring and electrical connections for signs of wear or corrosion
• Ensuring compliance with all state and federal safety regulations

Our preventative maintenance program includes a thorough inspection of all lighting components on your 18-wheeler, ensuring that every light is functioning properly and efficiently. Here’s what you can expect from our light change services:

• Headlight Replacement
  Headlights are crucial for nighttime driving and navigating through fog, rain, or snow. We inspect and replace headlights to ensure your drivers have clear visibility in all conditions.
• Brake Light and Turn Signal Replacement
  Properly functioning brake lights and turn signals are essential for communicating your intentions to other drivers on the road. We replace any burned-out bulbs and ensure the lights are bright and clear.
• Marker and Clearance Light Maintenance
  Marker lights help other drivers see the size and shape of your truck, especially at night or in poor weather. We check and replace all marker and clearance lights to maintain compliance and safety.
• Electrical System Inspection
  We inspect the wiring, fuses, and connectors associated with your truck’s lighting system to ensure there are no issues that could lead to malfunctioning lights. We’ll repair or replace any worn or corroded components.
• Lens and Housing Inspection
  Lights are only effective if they are bright and clear. We inspect the lenses and housings for fogging, cracks, or damage that could reduce light output, and replace them if necessary.

Maintaining your 18-wheeler’s lighting system offers several key benefits:

• Improved Safety
  Clear, functioning lights make your truck more visible to others, reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring your drivers can see and be seen on the road.
• Compliance with Regulations
  Properly functioning lights are required by law, and regular maintenance helps you avoid citations and fines during roadside inspections.
• Extended Equipment Lifespan
  Regularly maintaining your lighting system prevents more costly electrical problems from developing, such as wiring or fuse failures.
• Reduced Downtime
  By addressing minor lighting issues before they lead to bigger problems, you can prevent unscheduled repairs and keep your fleet moving.
