Prices range from about $5–$40 for a single headlight bulb and roughly $60–$600 for a full headlight assembly, depending on vehicle and technology (halogen, LED, or HID). Installation labor is typically not included in the part price and may vary by store or service reach.
What you’re paying for: bulbs vs. assemblies
AutoZone offers two main types of headlight replacements: bulbs that fit into your existing housing, and full headlight assemblies that include the lens, housing and sockets. The cost difference reflects the scope of the replacement.
Bulb replacements
Prices for bulbs vary by technology and performance level. Common options include standard halogen bulbs, high-performance halogens, LED replacement kits, and HID kits.
- Standard halogen bulbs: typically $5–$15 per bulb, depending on brand and model.
- High-performance halogen or longer-life options: usually $15–$40 per bulb.
- LED headlight bulbs (replacement kits): typically $40–$100 per kit (often for a pair).
- HID conversion kits: commonly $60–$150 per kit, depending on the kit and vehicle compatibility.
Note: Most vehicles require a specific bulb size (for example, H11, 9005, 9006, etc.). Use AutoZone’s compatibility tool to confirm the right bulb for your year/make/model.
Headlight assemblies
Full assemblies range in price based on quality, fit, and features such as OE-style housings or LED/projector configurations.
- Standard replacement headlight assemblies: typically $60–$120 per unit.
- OE-style or premium replacements: about $120–$350 per unit.
- LED or projector-style assemblies: often $200–$600+ per unit, depending on vehicle and features.
Prices shown are for parts only. AutoZone does not typically include professional installation in these prices; you would hire a shop for labor if you’re replacing a full assembly.
How to get an exact price for your vehicle
To obtain the precise price for your car, check AutoZone’s website or visit a local store. Enter your vehicle’s year, make, and model, or search by bulb size or part number. You’ll see current options, availability, and any promotions or discounts.
Additional considerations
Other factors can influence total cost, such as your vehicle’s specific headlight type, warranty status, regional pricing, taxes, and whether you need a simple bulb replacement or a full assembly swap. If you’re unsure about the correct part, store staff can help you confirm compatibility and may offer installation guidance for bulbs purchased there.
Summary
AutoZone offers two main paths for headlight replacement: buying bulbs (the cheaper option) or buying full assemblies (the more costly option). Bulbs generally cost from about $5 to $100 depending on type, while full assemblies can range from roughly $60 to $600+. Always verify exact prices for your vehicle on AutoZone’s site or at your local store, and be aware that labor costs are not included in these prices.
