What does a headlamp bulb do?

Vehicles generally have two or four headlamp (or headlight) units at the front of the car. The light units are either illuminated by a single double element bulb or a bulb for dipped and a bulb for high beam. They are high intensity bulbs that provide light in front of the vehicle for the driver.

How does a headlamp bulb work and what are the components?

Headlights come on once the circuit is connected by the driver using the light control talk or switch. Whilst there are a few variations of bulbs, single filament though to HID (High Intensity gas-Discharge), they are all powered initially in the same way.

The driver then swaps between the high beam (the most powerful) and low beam setting so as not to dazzle oncoming road users.

How do you know there is something wrong with a headlamp bulb?

The most obvious indication is a lack of visibility in the dark.
You only see the reflection of one light where there would normally be two.
You are warned by other road users, friends or even the police!
You are advised when a service is carried out.
The vehicle fails its MOT on a faulty light.

When should you consider replacing a headlamp bulb?

Quite simply as soon as you are aware it isn’t working. It is a legal requirement and a very important safety feature!.

How common is a headlamp bulb replacement?

Some newer cars often make use of LED lighting which are practically maintenance-free. Bulbs on the other hand are prone to deterioration over time and can fail. That said, when the lights do not work properly it can be the case that there are other issues with the headlamp unit. The units usually have a separate fuse each which can fail too, it is therefore advisable to check the fuses first before replacing a bulb. Other bad electrical connections can be caused by damaged wires or lamp sockets.

What can I do to extend the lifetime of my headlamp bulbs?

Nothing at all if you need to use them!

What happens during a headlamp bulb replacement?

Mechanic will inspect the headlamp system, socket and corresponding wires.
If necessary, the mechanic will replace the faulty light bulb.
Mechanic will advise if any other parts need to be replaced.
Mechanic will test the light(s) again to ensure the lights function properly.
