Why is it important to replace your headlights?

How often should you replace your headlights?

A headlight replacement involves removing old or faulty bulbs and installing new ones. Over time, bulbs can dim, flicker, or burn out completely. Replacing them restores visibility and helps with visibility while you’re driving at night or in poor weather. Our technicians can also inspect other exterior and interior bulbs to keep your lighting system in top shape.

The most obvious sign is a burned-out bulb, but there are other indicators:

  • Flickering or dimming lights

  • Uneven brightness between the two headlights

  • Reduced visibility at night compared to normal

We recommend replacing headlights and taillights in pairs to avoid mismatched lighting.

During our complimentary 20-point courtesy inspection, we’ll check all your bulbs to help make sure that you’re never left in the dark.

Properly working headlights are critical for road safety. They illuminate obstacles, pedestrians, and lane markings in low light and help other drivers see your vehicle. Driving with burned-out or dim headlights can increase your risk of accidents and may even result in a ticket. Beyond safety, replacing worn bulbs helps maintain your vehicle’s appearance and can prevent strain on electrical components.

Headlight lifespan varies depending on type and usage:

  • Halogen bulbs - 450 to 1,000 hours

  • HID/Xenon bulbs - about 2,000 hours

  • LED headlights - up to 30,000 hours

  • Laser headlights - around 50,000 hours

If you drive frequently at night, you may need replacements sooner. Our team can help you determine the right timing based on your driving habits and bulb type.

More About Headlight and Bulb Replacement

Your car depends on more than just headlights.

Safety lighting includes:

  • Headlights (low beam and high beam)

  • Taillights and brake lights

  • Turn signal and hazard lights

  • License plate and interior bulbs

Neglecting even one can reduce visibility and put you - and others - at risk.

Choosing the right bulb type

Headlight technology has evolved, and each type has its own benefits:

  • Halogen - Affordable, widely used, but shorter lifespan

  • HID/Xenon - Bright, crisp light with a moderate lifespan

  • LED - Energy-efficient, long-lasting, modern look

  • Laser - Cutting-edge, powerful, very long lifespan

Knowing what your car uses helps you plan for cost, longevity, and replacement needs.

Why replace headlights in pairs?

  • Keeps even brightness and visibility

  • Prevents uneven wear between bulbs

  • Keeps your vehicle looking sharp and well-maintained

The bigger picture: visibility and compliance

Dim or burned-out headlights make night driving dangerous - they can result in fines or failed inspections. Routine bulb checks keep your vehicle compliant with safety standards and reduce the chance of sudden nighttime surprises.

Quick, convenient service

At Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, headlight and bulb checks are part of every 20-point courtesy inspection, and we will check during your next oil change. If replacements are needed, we’ll take care of them on the spot at your next appointment so you can get back on the road with clear vision and peace of mind.
