The vehicle headlights are those kind of things that are really hard to replace. Due to the great changes and updates that the auto makers have implemented, the competitors are constantly trying to achieve the same results. They are aggressively chasing this goal of using higher technology to develop headlights that have remarkable brightening differences.
Thus, the most common halogen headlights have been used for a long time, and many automotive manufacturers use them mainly on their basic models. Recently, they have been smartly combined with LED lights for premium, or limited lines in many cases, obviously with higher prices. Additionally, and specially for European cars such as Mercedes Benz, BMW, Audi among others, or top of the line Japanese cars such as Acura, Infiniti or Lexus, it is very common to use expensive HID headlights, with one or more xenon Ballast that further increase the differentiation from the regular basic models. Beyond this point, the highest prices are due to the complexity of their manufacturer making it more difficult to create similar aftermarket headlights.
Then, is it not very hard to replace headlights? Yes, it is. First, because usually they are very expensive for many makes and models, and second, due to the greater variety of options of lights, bulbs, projectors, ballasts, bezels, that could make this task almost only for the experts.
