FAQ headlights & vehicle lighting
How long do headlights last?
The life of the average halogen headlight is about 4 to 6 years. It depends how much night driving you do and how many hours the headlights are used (day or night). HID headlight bulbs do not have filaments so they are much longer lived (10 years or more) while LED headlights have no filament or glass bulb and will last tens of thousands of hours, which is usually the life of the vehicle.
Do parking lights and turn signals use the same bulb?
Yes, your car uses the same bulb for the front turn signal and parking lights. Side bulbs are located on the inside of the wheel wells. All lights on your car will eventually burn out and need to be replaced.
Should you replace both headlights at the same time if one has burned out?
Yes. Both headlights have the same number of hours of use, so if one headlight has burned out the other headlight is probably near the end of its life too.
Can you get a ticket for driving with a broken car headlight?
Yes—100% yes. By law, you are required to operate a vehicle at night with at least two working headlamps. No matter the reason for your broken headlight, police will absolutely pull you over and give you a warning or ticket.
