Ah, the humble car headlight: the unsung hero of night-time motoring and the bane of your local dimwit who can’t seem to switch theirs off. Car headlights typically come in halogen, LED, or HID varieties, each with its own quirks. Halogen bulbs are cheap but dim and short-lived, LEDs are bright and efficient but pricier, and HIDs throw an impressive beam but can be a faff to install properly.

Prices for replacement headlights vary wildly; expect to pay anywhere from $50 for a basic halogen bulb up to $500 or more for a full LED assembly. Used parts can be found on Tradingpost or CarShowroom for a bargain if you’re lucky. Remember, a well-maintained headlight isn’t just about style—it’s the difference between arriving home in one piece or starring in a Darwin Award candidate documentary.
