When performing a headlamp bulb replacement, it is important to use a headlight bulb that meets the vehicle manufacturer's specifications. If an incorrect style or type of bulb is used, it may cause damage to the wiring or lamp housing.
In some vehicles, the lamp assembly or some trim panels may have to be removed in order to gain access to the broken bulb. Vehicles that have high intensity (HID) headlamp bulbs supply a high voltage to the headlight bulbs. Please use caution when working on or near the headlights.
While most manufacturer factory warranties and extended auto warranties do not cover the cost of a headlight bulb replacement. There are maintenance plans available that will cover the cost of inspecting the headlights to make sure they are working properly.
