Why should I buy headlight assemblies from 1A Auto?

Need to replace your broken, faded or old headlight assembly? We want to make this headlight replacement easy with our brand new, direct-fit options. When you buy headlight assemblies from 1A Auto, not only can you expect an easy installation, but we aim to save you money as well.

Even if only one headlight needs to be replaced, we recommend buying a pair of headlights to replace both. Then, not only will both headlights match, but they’ll have the same brightness. We offer discounted pricing when lights are purchased as pairs rather than individually. In addition to saving you money, replacing both headlights will restore your vehicle to its original specifications.

What are the different types of headlights?

• Sealed Beam
• Composite
• HID/Xenon
• Projector

Moisture buildup

The top and bottom of headlights are vented to keep fluctuating air pressure from cracking their bulbs or lamps. Through those vents, moist air can get into the headlight housing. And when a headlight’s lens is cooler than the air inside the housing, moisture condenses inside (the moisture usually evaporates when the outside temperature rises).

Water can also get inside headlights through the back, near the bulb sockets and wiring (which shortens bulb lifespan), improper seals and cracks.

Old age

As factory composite headlight lenses age, they often loosen and eventually fall off. In this case, the entire headlight assembly needs to be replaced.

Before an old headlight assembly reaches that point, another indicator of an old headlight is a worn out appearance. Worn out headlights have a way of making the rest of your car look tired, too. These headlights often have yellow or cloudy lenses. A headlight’s plastic lens tends to fade and lose clarity over time, which decreases the strength of the light coming through the headlight.

New headlights will not only make for a safer ride and maintain your car or truck’s value, but they’ll keep it looking its best, too.

Burned out sealed beam headlight bulb

When a bulb in a sealed beam headlight is burned out, the entire headlight assembly needs to be replaced. Luckily, they are inexpensive and easy to replace with simple hand tools.
