Used OEM Headlights for Sale Headlights are an essential component in everyday driving. We use headlights for a variety of reasons, but the most important of which is the ability to see what is in front of us, while avoiding dangers driving in night-time conditions.

Usually the headlight assembly is a sealed secure piece with little to no moving parts; thus not needing regular maintenance or replacement.

Due to the fact that headlight assemblies are not replaced very often it can be a burden to find the correct OEM replacement part without hours of extensive searching. What are my options when needing a replacement part? There usually three different options when looking for a replacement part: going to the dealership, buying aftermarket parts or contacting a used parts dealer. More often than not a dealership will not have the OEM parts you are looking for if the model year of the vehicle is older than five years (i.e. your vehicle is a 2003 and the current model year is 2013.) The manufacturers usually update the types of parts they use every so often, and current parts will not retroactively fit on older models. Most of the time if they do have your part in stock they are usually very expensive. The same goes for buying aftermarket parts for your vehicle; they can be expensive, aftermarket parts are not considered OEM, […]
