Headlight Bulb

Critical For Operation

Lighting

Provides forward illumination for night and low-visibility driving.

The headlight bulb produces the light that illuminates the road ahead. Filament bulbs weaken and burn out with use and vibration; HID and LED units degrade in brightness over a much longer service life.
