When was the last time your customers really assessed their headlights?
For many, the answer is “never.”
Headlights are one of the most important safety aspects of operating a motor vehicle, yet they barely merit a second thought from most drivers. If they’re on, they’re working, right?
Taking an apathetic view to a vehicle can only lead to one place: the repair shop. In the case of headlights, however, the destination for the driver, passengers, or pedestrians and other commuters could be much more dire—are your clients’ lamps lighting the night as they should?
Recent studies published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) show that vehicle lighting is critical, because while only 25 percent of driving occurs in the dark, 50 percent of crashes occur during those hours.
Many factors influence safe driving, but proper lighting is a critical factor to safely operate a vehicle on today’s congested roads. So, ask yourself: Are my headlights bright enough? Are my customers safe enough? And what are we missing beyond the glare of the windshield?
Bright, Brighter, Brightest: NAPA Debuts New Headlamps
Consumers often think about nighttime visibility as only how far one can see. But when it comes to safety, how much we can see around the road can be just as important as how far we can see down the road. Fortunately, NAPA NIGHTVISION™ Brilliant Headlamp Capsules provide increased depth perception for better down-road and side-road visibility, meaning your customers will be able to see near, far and wide—and get to where they’re going as safely as possible.
Two factors combine for the clearest picture of the road ahead: brightness and whiteness.
Brightness refers to the intensity or magnitude of the beams; the brighter the bulb, the better visibility in all directions around the path of the beams.
Whiteness refers to a better contrast of elements on the road. A whiter light allows for a clearer, more defined view of the road while driving (including peripheral vision). A whiter light also gives more of a premium headlamp look akin to white or blue LEDs.
Not all lamps are created equal, however. NAPA offers three options in its NIGHTVISION™ line for the most value depending on your driving needs: Brilliant, Vivid, and Clear.
