How Much Does It Cost To Replace Headlights On My Car or Truck?

Find out more about the cost to replace car headlights at Finnegan Chevrolet Buick GMC.

The headlights on your car are a crucial safety feature in any vehicle since they supply illumination to see the road ahead, notably in dark conditions like bad weather or simple nighttime driving. Properly functioning headlights also allow other drivers to see your vehicle, which can help avoid collisions. If overexposed to the weather, your headlights can become cloudy, dim, or completely burn out, reducing visibility and potentially adding to the risk of accidents. Fixing and updating old or damaged headlights is vital in ensuring that your car remains safe to drive at night. Cosmetically, replacing your headlights can also improve the look of your car. Cloudy or yellowed headlights can make your vehicle look old and outdated, while updated headlights can update the look. When upgrading headlights, choosing original manufacturer bulbs that are made to fit your vehicle's make and model is crucial. We also strongly suggest that drivers replace both headlights at the same time, even if only one is malfunctioning, to ensure the correct lighting and to help avoid wear and tear. Your headlights play a crucial role in ensuring driver safety on the road, and upgrading them when they lose effectiveness or fail is an important aspect of vehicle maintenance.

Aftermarket Headlights

The choice between aftermarket or original manufacturer headlights may seem like it depends on your needs and budget. OEM (original equipment manufacturer) headlights were designed to fit flawlessly and work optimally with your car, but the consequence is that they are a little more expensive. Meanwhile, third-party headlights are generally less expensive and offer more customization options. Aftermarket headlights may win points for customization and cost, but headlights from the OEM are the smart option for safety, performance, fit, and finish.

Price of Headlight

The price to upgrade your headlights will depend on your car, and, most notably, what version of headlights your car has installed. As stated above, halogen headlights won't be as expensive as Xenon headlights but may not last as long, use more power, and aren't as bright. Talk to your service specialist about any possible upgrade options, because we might have OEM LED headlights to upgrade the look and brightness of your old car at an affordable cost.

Xenon Headlights?

The yellowish colored, warm headlights that are most often seen on older vehicles are halogen headlights. They are the lowest priced and are easy to replace, but they generally can be hot to the touch and use more power. LED (Light-emitting diode) headlights are a relatively new lighting technology, and they boast several advantages over standard headlights. Most notably, they provide a more natural, white light, are brighter, use less power, and are more durable. However, LED headlights cost more to purchase and may require professional installation.
