What is a headlight replacement?

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.

What are the signs you need a headlight replacement?

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.

Why is it important to replace your headlights?

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.

How often should you replace your headlights?

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.
