headlight bulbs

Vehicle front lamps

Headlight bulbs are the replaceable light sources inside a vehicle's headlights.

The term usually comes up when one burns out and needs replacing: I need to pick up some headlight bulbs at the auto parts store.

Types include halogen, LED, and HID (high-intensity discharge), each with different brightness, lifespan, and cost.
