Unless you’re Lightning McQueen, car headlights are a necessity. Even if you don’t drive in the dark much, your headlights can help increase your visibility during inclement weather like rain, snow, or fog.

Halogen headlights are the most common type of headlight used in cars today. Halogen headlights have a pretty long lifespan (about 1,000 hours), which is ideal since you want your car’s headlamps to withstand the test of time. They are also cheap to produce, which means car manufacturers aren’t adding to the cost of production, and you as an owner can replace them for fairly cheap if they do burn out.
