FixHeadlight Assembly Replacement Cost
What owners actually paid
The shaded middle is where half of all these repairs landed: $64 – $286. The price on any one car depends on the vehicle — the table below shows the range for each.
What this repair is
When the problem is the housing — cracked, full of moisture, hazed past restoring, or with burned internal wiring — the whole headlight unit is replaced, not the bulb. Newer LED and sensor-equipped assemblies carry startling part prices, and on many cars the bumper cover comes off to swap one; aiming the new light finishes the job.

What moves the price
- Halogen vs. LED — LED and adaptive assemblies cost multiples of a halogen housing.
- Access — many vehicles need the bumper cover off.
- Pairs — a new housing next to a hazed one looks mismatched — many owners do both.
Quotes near the low end usually mean aftermarket halogen housing on an older vehicle, easy access. Quotes near the high end usually mean OEM LED assembly, bumper removal required, both sides replaced for matching.
