Does Your Mitsubishi Need New Headlights?

Vehicle headlights.

If you're struggling to see well on the road at night, it might be time for some new headlights from Heritage Mitsubishi-Morrow's trusted auto repair shop! While completely blown out lights are an obvious sign, there are some more subtle clues your car will give you that can help you get that change done before you end up driving around in the dark.

Signs You Need New Headlights From Your Mitsubishi Dealer

Poor Visibility in Bad Weather

If your Mitsubishi's headlights don't provide sufficient visibility in rain, snow, or fog, it may be time to consider new ones. Adequate illumination is vital in bad weather conditions to ensure safe driving; if you're struggling, it's a sign the bulbs are getting dimmer.

When headlights start to lose their brightness, it can significantly impact your nighttime visibility, too. An easy way to tell if the bulbs are dimming is if you feel like you need to use your brights all the time. You should be able to see just fine without them except on the darkest of unlit roads.

Yellowing or Clouding of the Headlight Lens

Over time, the plastic lens covering the headlights can become yellowed or cloudy due to oxidation. This affects the appearance of your Mitsubishi (nothing makes it look older than those yellow lenses) and diminishes the effectiveness of the headlights.

You might be able to clean the lens, but the situation has advanced too far, you won't be able to it. Replacing the headlights or restoring the lenses at that point can greatly improve visibility.

Headlight Flickering or Inconsistency

If your Mitsubishi's headlights flicker or display inconsistent lighting, it's a clear indication that they may need replacing. Flickering can be a sign of electrical issues within the headlight system, and consistent lighting is essential for safe driving. That flickering may turn into a situation where the lights go out completely, and when you least expect it.

Headlights Seem Misaligned

Misaligned headlights can significantly impact your ability to see the road and may indicate that new lights are necessary. This can happen if you go over a pothole too hard or are in a minor fender-bender and things seem ok otherwise.

If your lights are misaligned, you may notice that other drivers keep flashing their brights at you when you're not using yours: your beams are blinding them because the beam's intensity is pointed in the wrong direction. And if that's the case, not only are they being blinded, but you're not getting the light where you really need it for safe driving.

If you're noticing any of these issues, don't wait for a bigger problem to arise. Come see us at Heritage Mitsubishi Morrow to get your lights taken care of.

The Mitsubishi Confidence That Comes Standard

The Mitsubishi Confidence That Comes Standard

Buying a new vehicle is one of the most significant purchases you will make, and at Heritage Mitsubishi, we believe that confidence should come with it. That is exactly what the Mitsubishi Motors Confidence Integrated Care Program is built to deliver. Every 2024 and newer Mitsubishi model comes backed by one of the most comprehensive warranty and care packages in the industry, giving you peace of mind from the moment you drive off the lot and for years down the road. 10-Year / 100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty This is the coverage that sets Mitsubishi apart. The 10-Year / 100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty is standard on all models for original owners and covers the repair or replacement of select engine, transmission, and transaxle components that may become defective under normal use and maintenance. It is one of the longest powertrain warranties in the industry and a genuine reflection of how confident Mitsubishi is in the vehicles it builds. For subsequent owners, the balance of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty of 5 years / 60,000 miles transfers with the vehicle, making a pre-owned Mitsubishi an equally smart choice. 2-Year / 30,000-Mile Limited Maintenance Keeping your Mitsubishi properly maintained in the early years of ownership just got easier. The 2-Year / 30,000-Mile Limited Maintenance coverage includes three scheduled service visits within the first two years, helping you stay on top of routine care without any added expense. Each service includes an oil and filter change, tire rotation, multi-point inspection, and cabin filter service. Services are redeemable at the following milestones: the first by 12 months or 12,000 miles, and the second and third by 24 months or 30,000 miles. This coverage applies to the original owner of the vehicle. 5-Year / Unlimited-Mile Roadside Assistance Life on the road does not always go as planned, and when it does not, Mitsubishi has you covered. 24-hour emergency Roadside Assistance is included for five full years with no mileage limit, so whether you are across town or across the country, help is just a phone call away. This coverage transfers with the vehicle regardless of ownership, giving every driver added reassurance. 7-Year / 100,000-Mile Anti-Corrosion / Perforation Limited Warranty Mitsubishi also stands behind the long-term appearance of its vehicles with a 7-Year / 100,000-Mile Anti-Corrosion and Perforation Limited Warranty, covering metal rust-through in outer body sheet metal panels under normal use. This warranty is transferrable with the vehicle regardless of ownership, adding lasting value whether you plan to keep your Mitsubishi for the long haul or pass it on someday. Together, these four layers of protection form one of the most well-rounded ownership packages you will find in the automotive market today. At Heritage Mitsubishi, we are proud to stand behind every vehicle we sell with the full backing of the Mitsubishi Motors Confidence Integrated Care Program.

The 2027 Eclipse Sportback EV Wins Green SUV of the Year

The 2027 Eclipse Sportback EV Wins Green SUV of the Year

The recognition keeps coming for Mitsubishi, and the latest honor is a big one. Green Car Journal, one of the most respected publications covering environmentally friendly vehicles and technology, has named the 2027 Mitsubishi Eclipse Sportback its 2027 Green SUV of the Year. The award recognizes sport-utility vehicles that excel in environmental performance while delivering the style and versatility today's drivers expect. What makes this award especially meaningful is the company it keeps. The Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid earned Green Car Journal's Family Green Car of the Year award in 2019, and then again for four consecutive years from 2023 through 2026, with the 2026 award shared alongside the Outlander mild-hybrid in a historic first for the program. Now the Eclipse Sportback adds a third Green Car Journal title to the Mitsubishi family, a remarkable run of recognition that speaks to the brand's genuine commitment to electrification. "At a time when some others are scaling back, Mitsubishi is expanding its electrified choices with mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and now battery-electric models," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal. "The Eclipse Sportback EV hits a sweet spot in the market that values a mainstream compact crossover that's well-appointed, fun to drive, and comes with substantial range with convenient charging options that instill driving confidence." The Eclipse Sportback's arrival is a direct result of Mitsubishi's Momentum 2030 business plan, which prioritizes expanding electrification across the lineup and introducing new or significantly updated vehicles every year through 2030. With the Eclipse Sportback joining the mild-hybrid Outlander and the Outlander Plug-in Hybrid, Mitsubishi now offers three separate vehicles with three separate electrified powertrain options, giving drivers more choices than ever before. This new EV is built around a practical and flexible charging experience. At home or at a public Level 2 charger, the vehicle can charge from 20 to 80 percent in approximately 6.5 hours. For those on the go, the Eclipse Sportback supports DC fast charging up to 150 kW, allowing a 10 to 80 percent charge in around 35 minutes. The vehicle also features NACS compatibility, opening access to the Supercharger network for even greater charging convenience wherever the road takes you.

The new operation officially launched earlier this year, with more than 500 Mitsubishi vehicles arriving in April and a ribbon-cutting ceremony held in July to celebrate the partnership. The event also welcomed the arrival of the Höegh Sunrise, one of the newest environmentally advanced vehicle carriers, highlighting Mitsubishi's ongoing commitment to more sustainable transportation solutions.
