Headlights

Most of us have experienced it before: you're driving and suddenly realize that one of your headlights is out. And, often, it happens at the most inconvenient time possible.

Types of Headlights

The three most common types of headlights are halogen, Xenon HID, and LED.

Halogen headlights are the most common type and can be found on most vehicles today. They use a filament and halogen gas to produce light and are relatively inexpensive.

Xenon HID (high-intensity discharge) lights are usually found on luxury vehicles. They produce a brighter light than halogen headlights. Xenon HID lights also require a ballast to regulate voltage and can't be used with a dimmer switch.

LED (light-emitting diode) headlights are becoming more popular due in part to their long life span and energy efficiency. They also tend to provide a brighter light than halogen or Xenon HID lights.

When to Replace Your Headlights

As a rule of thumb, you should replace your headlights every two years or so. However, this can vary depending on the type of lightbulb used and how often you use your car's headlights. For example, if you regularly drive in foggy or snowy conditions, your headlight bulbs will likely need to be replaced more frequently than someone who lives in an area with sunny weather all year round.
