Four Maintenance Tips to Make Your Ford Taurus Headlight Last Longer
Your Ford Taurus headlight plays a huge role in keeping your vehicle safe while you're driving through the night or during an inclement weather. Keeping it in good condition is necessary in order for you to have a clear view of the road ahead. Here are a few useful tips on how you can properly take care of your Ford Taurus headlight:
- Create regular cleaning routines for your headlight.
Your headlight gets dirty after some time—that's just a fact of life. It's quite impossible to keep dirt and grime from getting on its surface whenever you take your vehicle out for a ride. The best thing you can do is to clean off filth as soon as you can to prevent your headlight from suffering irreparable damage. Set a cleaning schedule that's convenient for you. Cleaning your headlight once or twice every week is highly recommended.
- Remove condensation from the lens.
One of the first things you should check when conducting routine headlight maintenance is the condition of its lens. Is it crystal clear? Or do you notice some signs of haze? If your headlight lens looks yellow and foggy, it may be a good time for you to restore it back to its like-new condition by getting rid of the condensation inside the headlight. There are a lot of deoxidizers offered in the market today; you can simply use non-abrasive chemical cleaners to fix a foggy lens. You can also opt to use a fine-grit sandpaper to scrub off damaged areas.
- Inspect your headlight for damaged components.
One of the best ways to keep your headlight working optimally is by tending to problems before they get worse. To do this, you need to regularly inspect all the components of your headlight and verify if they're in good-working condition. Check if its wirings are free from corrosion and make sure that the headlight housing is not cracked or leaking. If the headlight bulbs are faulty, remember to replace them in pairs to ensure that they have the same level of brightness.
- Protect it with a headlight cover.
Headlight covers are a great way to prolong the life of your vehicle's headlight. This affordable accessory is useful in preventing scratches and dents. Its benefits far surpass its price, so you may want to invest in this handy piece of accessory.
Summary
- The headlights are meant to help the driver drive in poorly lit areas, especially at night.
- Even a single busted headlight can get you in trouble, both literally and legally, as state laws require both headlights to function.
- A blown-out bulb can make your headlights dim or flicker or, worst, die completely.
- A faulty switch can make your headlights malfunction, giving the impression that the headlights are broken and in need of replacements.
- The wiring that hooks up from the switch to your headlight may come in contact with hot surfaces and develop an opening, causing a short circuit that will ruin your headlight bulbs.
- A blown fuse can cut the supply of electric current from the battery to the headlights, resulting in headlights that won’t switch on.
- You can get an OE replacement Ford Taurus headlight on CarParts.com for $24 to $750.
The Ford Taurus was introduced in late 1985, originally as a 4-door midsize sedan. It lasted for 34 years, though it wasn’t a smooth three decades as it went into a hiatus from 2006 to 2007. When it came back in 2008, it was welcomed as a full-size sedan. The last Ford Taurus model that went out of Ford’s factory was in 2019. Afterward, the nameplate was put to rest for good.
Just like all other discontinuation, there’s still quite a handful of Ford Taurus plying the road today. And with those is a healthy demand for Ford Taurus replacement parts. If you happen to be looking for a Ford Taurus headlight replacement, this guide will help you choose the best and perfect fit.
What causes headlights to fail?
The headlights are meant to help the driver drive in poorly lit areas, especially at night. This is why you should always maintain them and may sure they are properly working at all times. Even a single busted headlight can get you in trouble, both literally and legally, as state laws require both headlights to function.
A failing headlight needs to be fixed or replaced fo your own safety. Your headlight can malfunction due to a number of causes. Here are a few reasons why your headlight/s are malfunctioning:
Worn-out bulb
Bulbs wear out. This is true even the most durable ones you can find in the market. A blown-out bulb can make your headlights dim or flicker or, worst, die completely. Dimming can be hard to notice right away. Some even fail to realize their headlights are gradually dimming. But a quick comparison to other cars should give the hint away. Be sure to replace a failing bulb before it loses its light.
Faulty headlight switch
The headlight switch is the device you use to toggle the headlights on and off and control the low and high beam. Typical designs also incorporate the controls for the turn indicators. If the switch fails, it will give the impression that your headlights are not working. Instead of jumping to a conclusion, bring your car to a certified mechanic and have your headlights properly evaluated.
If you can’t drive your car to the nearest body shop, consult your mechanic via phone call or chat on how to tell if the headlight switch is bad, instead of relying on strangers you’ll see on online forums.
Electrical short circuit
The wiring that hooks up from the switch to your headlight may come in contact with hot surfaces and develop an opening. If the section of the damaged insulation is near a metal component, the electricity charge may jump and cause a short circuit. A short circuit may lead to a blown fuse or a blown-out bulb.
Blown or worn-out fuse
A blown fuse will cut the supply of electric current from the battery to the headlights. A fuse blows due to several reasons, but one of the common causes is a short circuit as mentioned above. To avoid this, beware of using the wrong bulb wattage.
Finding the right fit
You can get an OE replacement Ford Taurus headlight on CarParts.com for $24 to $750. There are seven generations of the Ford Taurus in total, which means parts may vary from one generation to the other. In addition, there are thousands of parts in the catalog, and finding the right fit manually can be a headache.

Driving your Ford Taurus with a broken headlight can lead to a ton of safety issues. You're bound to encounter one or more problems with your headlight throughout its entire service life, and it's important that you diagnose these problems in order to fix them before they cause fatal accidents. Here are some easy ways to figure out the culprit behind the common Ford Taurus headlight issues:
Flickering light
Having a flickering headlight is very dangerous. It robs you the clear view of the road ahead and distracts the oncoming traffic. If you find yourself in this situation, check the electrical wirings that are connected to your headlight immediately. The usual culprit behind this problem is faulty electrical connections. To troubleshoot this issue, you should first check if the wires are connected tightly to the headlight and tighten them up as needed. You should also look for corroded wires and replace them as soon as you can to keep your headlight from sputtering again.
Insufficient brightness
If you feel like your headlight isn't doing a good job of lighting up the road in front of your Ford Taurus, conduct a quick and careful inspection to get to the bottom of your problem. There two common causes of dim lights: condensation and incorrect alignment.
Condensation is usually diagnosed by simply checking if the lens looks dull and yellowish. If so, simply scrub it using a non-abrasive deoxidizer or any polishing compound to bring them back into shape. For the case of incorrect headlight alignment, park your car in front of a white wall and turn your headlight on. Carefully inspect if both beams are aimed at the same level. Get the help of a mechanic to adjust misaligned beams.
Bulb doesn't light up
There are many possible reasons why your headlight won't light up. These include a broken bulb, a defective switch, a faulty fuse, or a set of damaged wires. You should troubleshoot and fix this problem before you take your vehicle out on the road again. Start by checking if the filament inside the bulb is in one piece; replace it if you see that it's busted. You should also check the bulb socket to see if it's free from corrosion. If both of the prior procedures didn't solve your problem, you should proceed to testing the switch and electrical wirings for continuity using a voltmeter.
