$220–$880, with an average estimate of $400 before vehicle-specific adjustments.

What to expect

Mechanic's tip

Before replacing the whole assembly, try a professional lens restoration service — it costs $30–80 and can restore clarity when UV yellowing is the only issue. Aftermarket assemblies vary significantly in fit and quality; for newer or luxury vehicles, OEM or a reputable aftermarket brand is worth the extra cost. Always aim headlights after installation.
