Lighting problems are also one of the most common reasons for a roadside stop. This page covers common lighting repairs, typical prices, and what to know before upgrading to LED.

Common lighting services

Bulb replacement

Headlights, brake lights, signals and fog lights. Some vehicles make it easy, while others require removing parts of the bumper or headlight assembly.

Headlight restoration

Polishing and sealing cloudy or yellowed lenses to bring back brightness. A good option when the housing itself is intact.

Headlight assembly replacement

Needed when a housing is cracked, leaking or has damaged internals.

LED or HID upgrades

Upgrading can improve visibility if done with a proper kit and aiming. A poor retrofit can scatter light and blind other drivers.

Typical lighting prices in Canada

Bulb replacement$30 – $150
Headlight restoration$80 – $200
Headlight aiming$60 – $120
Headlight assembly replacement$300 – $1,200+

Typical ranges only. Modern LED and adaptive headlights cost much more than standard halogen ones.

Signs your lights need attention

Yellowed or foggy lenses

Reduces light output. Restoration can often fix it.

One light out

Replace both bulbs together on headlights so brightness and colour match.

Flickering lights

Can be a loose connection, a bad bulb or a charging issue.

Rapid turn signal blinking

Often a sign of a burnt-out bulb on that side.

Condensation inside the housing

A bit after rain can be normal, but standing water means a seal problem.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I replace headlight bulbs in pairs?

Yes, it is usually best. Bulbs dim as they age, so replacing just one can leave you with uneven light.

Are LED headlight upgrades legal in Canada?

It depends on the product and your province. Lights must meet Canadian safety standards, and many plug-in LED bulbs for halogen housings are not designed for it. Ask a shop about compliant options.

Why are my headlights so dim?

Common causes are aged bulbs, oxidized lenses, a weak battery or alternator, or poor aiming. A shop can narrow it down quickly.

Do headlights need to be re-aimed?

After a collision, suspension work or fitting new headlight assemblies, yes. It is quick and helps you see better without blinding others.
