Is your quote fair?
A quote between $37 and $119 is inside the band where half of all Honda Accord headlight or bulb replacements landed. Below it is not automatically a bargain (a tail or signal bulb reachable in a minute); above it is not automatically gouging (headlight bulbs behind the bumper or inner fender, HID or LED units, both sides replaced) — but both ends deserve a question.
What moves the price
- Access — some headlight bulbs change in a minute; others hide behind the bumper or wheel liner.
- Bulb type — HID and LED units cost multiples of a halogen bulb.
- Pairs — headlights are often replaced in pairs so both match in brightness and age.
