Genius wunderkind Thomas Edison invented the light bulb in nearby Menlo Park, New Jersey. Edison likely would be incredibly impressed with what has become of his formerly fragile but effective light bulb, such as those now used in car headlights. Your car’s headlights enable you to see well while driving through four seasons of weather in the greater Philadelphia area. Aside from an occasional headlight replacement, most drivers do not bother with them despite a great selection of aftermarket headlights that greatly improve your vehicle’s lighting and looks.

 

Headlights used to be strictly factory-installed and at one time had to be only a sealed-beam headlight that remains installed on many cars at the factory today. The sealed-beam headlight is one that has the round lens reflector and the lens covering the reflector and inserted bulb are sealed. That prevents rain and other elements from entering the headlight and helps to provide good light for driving at night and daytime running lights.  

 

Current aftermarket headlight options include:

 

You can replace your stock factory headlights with a variety of high-quality types that will give you widely varying results. Some do more for giving your car a custom look while also improving your lighting. Others simply give you improved lighting while reducing the draw on your electrical system. No matter the reason, the results always add up to improved lighting and better vision at night. 

 

No matter how you most often use your vehicle’s headlights, odds are there are several aftermarket brands that make better ones. Oftentimes, they sell for less money than factory OEM replacements while improving your vehicle’s lighting. Many also last longer than factory headlights, which gives you a better return on your parts investment.

 

Ultimately, aftermarket headlights need to make your vehicle safer to drive by improving the visibility at night and making you stand out more when using the daytime running lights. You do not want headlights that blind drivers of oncoming vehicles, but you do want to illuminate dark roadways and show yourself better on bright and sunny days. The best aftermarket headlights will help.
