If you want to know if you should replace both headlights at the same time, learn why the expert mechanics at 1A Auto think you should in this article and video.
How Do I Know a Headlight Needs to Be Replaced?
Damage Like Cracking, Chipping, Cloudiness, or Moisture
If you notice one headlight is damaged, we recommend you replace both of the headlights together. You may find one headlight looks fine and the other is damaged. Damaged headlights can be smashed, cracked, broken, or foggy. You may find them scratched, melted, chipped, or accumulating moisture. They may be faded, hazy and emit a duller light.
Why You Should Replace Both Headlights at the Same Time
You’ll Save Money Replacing Them in Pairs
You can save money on headlights from 1A Auto if you buy them as a pair. Buying them together means you’ll save more on the cost per headlight.
Improves Resale Value and Appearance
Two new headlights will improve the appearance of your car. It’ll also increase the resale value as new parts that work just like the originals are installed. This beats replacing only one headlight and having to replace it sooner than the other.
They’ll Wear Near the Same Rate
You may need to remove the bumper to replace the headlights, and with all of the steps, you might as well replace the other headlight. If replacing both headlights at the same time, you won’t have to worry about the other headlight wearing or breaking soon after replacing only one.
