Keeping the exterior lighting system in pristine shape will keep you safe on the roads of BC. If your lamps have recently burnt out or been broken in an accident, you can replace them without too much trouble.
To inspect the headlights, you need to ensure that the car, truck, van, or SUV is on a level surface facing a plan wall. Turn on the lights and mark where each beam hits with a piece of tape. The strips should be 2-ft long. Place one horizontally and the other vertically. Next, back the vehicle up 25-ft with the lights still on. If the bulbs are centred correctly, the most intense part of the beam will be in the centre of the horizontal piece of tape.
If you notice that the bulbs are dim, you should replace them as well. For clouded lenses, this may be an indication that the UV protective film is going bad. Foggy or yellowish colouring can lead to your lights not emitting a bright enough beam for proper visibility. Restoration kits are available to fix this issue on your own. You can also replace the entire casing if necessary.

Typically seen on sporty cars, a rear spoiler is an added fin that changes the direction of the airflow to reduce wind resistance. Crafted to improve the overall efficiency, speed, and agility of a vehicle, it sits down on drag and can even provide better grip across the pavement.
Although this element is popular on race cars and high-performance models, it can also be seen on some SUVs and sedans. This is mainly because it raises the average fuel economy on the highway.
There are several different types of spoilers. The most common is the wind-shaped component that sits above the back decklid. Next is the front spoiler that is designed to push air to the sides instead of underneath. Side skirts are another form that are paired with rocker panels.
As your speed increases, so does the total drag. In turn, this makes the engine work a lot harder to maintain that high speed. As air travel under the car, lift is generated which reduces the amount of grip (traction) you have on the street. The main purpose of a spoiler is to eliminate that issue.
The Mustang is a legendary muscle car that comes with a spoiler. If you want to replace yours, contact Ford Parts BC to find the right piece!
There are hundreds of various parts that go into manufacturing a Ford vehicle. One of these is the valance panel. Sometimes referred to as the bumper valance, this thin, slim piece is situated under the front bumper.
The sole purpose of the component is aerodynamics and fuel efficiency. Depending on its placement, it can function similarly to an air dam by directing the airflow underneath the car. Furthermore, it can also be a larger unit that has been integrated into the airflow lip at the bottom.
Some automobiles may have two valance panels - one in the front and another on the back. In this case, these do not cover the full width of the chassis. They are known as corner pieces. Other versions of the valance panel may simply be there to cover exposed parts such as the radiator. Bridging the gap between the dual exhaust pipes is another job that this element can do.
Older models may have steel valance panels, but newer ones are typically built from plastic. This helps keep the overall weight lighter, which means better gas mileage. They are also much easier to replace.

When it comes to vehicle fluids, there is a lot more to it than just a simple oil change. However, when you go in for this routine maintenance, you can have the liquid level checked and topped off. The other option is to do it yourself.
Aside from the engine oil, you should inspect the following fluids frequently:
Coollant
Brakes
Transmission
Power steering
Each of these serves a unique purpose and directly affects the way your car, truck, van, or SUV drives. If there is any leaking, you can determine the culprit by the color.
Light brown to black is engine oil. This leak tends to start in the gaskets or seals of the motor. It may also be coming from the valves covers to even the oil pan, and it should be addressed by a professional immediately.
Red or brown is the transmission fluid, which will be accompanied by a strong odour. The problem can usually be found in the transmission, radiator, or cooling system. Next, the power steering liquid is typically clear, red, or brown. Moisture is usually found near the front left side of the vehicle. Finally, brake fluid is yellow, and coolant can be green, orange, pink, or blue.
If you own a 2015 to 2018 Ford Focus, then you may need to replace the valance panel at some point.
This slim piece is located just beneath the front bumper. Its sole purpose is to direct airflow. This particular part is for hatchback models without the skirt. Boasting a 12-month warranty, it is guaranteed to fit properly. Eligible trim levels include the following:
Maintaining the upholstery inside your vehicle is just as important as keeping the exterior clean. Depending on the material, there are various ways to keep your Ford looking new for as long as possible.
Cloth can be vacuumed and washed easily. You may use homemade solutions or commercial products that are designed specifically for fabric. A simple mixture of soap and hot water may even do the trick. A soft bristle brush is recommended for tackling spots.
Leather can be a bit trickier. More susceptible to fading and premature aging, this material requires special kits with cleaners and conditioners. It is best to turn on the heater to warm up the cowhide before you begin the process. Stubborn stains may need to be pre-treated as well.
Finally, vinyl is the easiest type to sanitize. Spills can simply be wiped away, and glass cleaner can get off any sticky messes. If you want a polished finish, you can mix water and baking soda together. Whatever you do, never use anything oil-based. This will harden the vinyl.
Pro Tip: Toothbrushes are ideal for getting into small cervices and seams.
