A replacement headlight assembly typically runs $80–$250 per side for aftermarket fitments, with dealer OEM assemblies often reaching $400–$700 or more per side depending on the vehicle.
The price range is wide because it tracks directly with vehicle complexity and lighting technology. A halogen assembly for a 2010–2015 Chevy Equinox sits at the lower end — straightforward reflector housing, standard 9005 and H11 bulbs, no ballast required. A projector-style assembly with integrated LED DRL for a late-model Dodge Charger or Honda Civic costs more, reflecting the additional optics and wiring. Aftermarket assemblies that meet SAE and DOT certification standards — with OEM-grade polycarbonate lenses and IP65-rated sealed housings — typically land between $90 and $180 per side without sacrificing fitment accuracy.
- Aftermarket halogen headlight assemblies: $80–$180 per side for most domestic and Japanese vehicles.
- Projector-style or LED DRL aftermarket assemblies: $150–$250 per side depending on vehicle application.
- OEM dealer assemblies: $400–$700+ per side on many mid-size trucks, crossovers, and sedans.
- Most aftermarket assemblies are sold individually — confirm whether the listing covers one side or a pair.
- Assemblies that include 9005 high beam and H11 low beam bulbs eliminate a separate $15–$30 bulb purchase.
