Headlight bulbs are an important part of a vehicle's overall lighting system. They help to light the way ahead on dark roads, make driving in bad weather conditions easier and safer, and make your car more visible to other drivers. If your headlights are dim, flickering, or not working at all, it's time to shop for the best LED headlight bulbs here at SuncentAuto.com.
What is an LED bulb?
LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, and an LED bulb is a type of light bulb that you can use to replace your standard headlight. Compared with halogen bulbs, they are brighter and last longer while consuming less energy. They tend not to produce the warmup time associated with factory bulbs—they are illuminated right away when turned on.
When to Replace Your Headlight Bulbs
The lifespan of a conventional halogen headlight may range from 450 to 1,000 hours. Using HID headlights can extend that time period anywhere between 2,000 and 10,000 hours before the bulbs need to be replaced. LED lights last even longer.
However, don't wait until they're burned out or it could be a safety hazard. And driving without functioning headlights is illegal in most states. If you notice the following signs, it's time for an upgrade. Replace both at once to get the most consistent field of vision down the road.
- 1. Your headlights seem dimmer than usual. This is usually the first sign that a headlight bulb is going bad.
- 2. You notice a difference in the light output of your headlights. One headlight may be brighter than the other, or both may be dimmer than they used to be.
- 3. Your headlights are starting to yellow or discolor. This is caused by the bulb burning out and can make it difficult to see at night.
How Much Does an LED Bulb Replacement Cost?
Replacement LED bulbs can cost as little as $20 or up to $170. The price depends on factors such as the product's fit, finish and series, beam color, brand and warranty—as well whether it's part of a set or comes with other products (such as a kit).
If you want a professional mechanic to install your LED headlight bulb, the technician may charge an additional $20—$50.
