Does Walmart change headlights?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong> Not only is driving with a burned-out headlight illegal, but it can create dangerously low visibility when you\u2019re driving in the dark. To keep you driving safely, Walmart Auto Care Center offers headlight bulb changes, headlight restorations, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Walmart-headlight-installation\">Walmart headlight installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need your headlight bulbs changed, a technician at a nearby Walmart Auto Care Center will install them in your vehicle for $10.00 per light. This does not include the price of new headlight bulbs, which typically cost between $15 and $25 each at Walmart depending on the type of light you need. This should bring the total cost of your headlight replacement to about $25\u2013$35 per light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-jerry-key-takeaway border-primary flex flex-col rounded bg-gray-50 p-6 border-l-4\"><div class=\"flex flex-col md:block md:space-x-1\"><span class=\"has-primary-color text-lg font-semibold\">Note: <\/span><span class=\"text-gray-900 text-base\">If your entire headlight assembly needs to be replaced, you\u2019ll likely need to take your vehicle to a repair shop rather than a Walmart Auto Care Center.<\/span><\/div><div class=\"jerry-block-content\" contentclassname=\"text-gray-900 text-base\"><\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few other national brands where you can get your headlight bulb replaced. With the exception of O\u2019Reilly\u2019s, most of these locations can also inspect your headlight housing and electrical system, making them a good choice if you need more than a simple bulb swap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>O\u2019Reilly Auto Parts:<\/strong> Free with purchase of bulbs (not all vehicles will qualify)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Firestone:<\/strong> Cost may vary by vehicle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Valvoline: <\/strong>Cost may vary by location and vehicle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jiffy Lube:<\/strong> Cost may vary by location and vehicle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pep Boys:<\/strong> Starting at $20<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>NAPA Auto Parts:<\/strong> Up to $300 if the entire assembly must be replaced<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Walmart miniature bulb installation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If one of your auxiliary lights go out, like your back-up lights or the headlamp in your vehicle\u2019s cabin, the techs at your local Walmart Auto Care Center will also change those. The cost of this service is $7.50 per light. Expect to pay around $5\u201310 extra for a pack of miniature bulbs\u2014they typically come in a pack of two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Walmart-headlight-restoration\">Walmart headlight restoration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your headlights are still working but they seem dimmer than usual, you might not need to change the bulbs\u2014you may need a headlight restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oxidation and small scratches can make your headlight lenses look cloudy or yellow, decreasing the effectiveness of your lights. During a headlight restoration, a tech will buff the headlight lens until it\u2019s clear again, improving your visibility on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Headlight restorations cost $26.88 at a Walmart Auto Care Center. If you\u2019d prefer to do the work yourself, you can buy a headlight restoration kit starting at around $10 at Walmart\u2014but considering higher-end kits can easily cost $20\u2013$25, the professional headlight restoration service at Walmart is a pretty good bargain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-jerry-key-takeaway border-primary flex flex-col rounded bg-gray-50 p-6 border-l-4\"><div class=\"flex flex-col md:block md:space-x-1\"><span class=\"has-primary-color text-lg font-semibold\">Bottom line: <\/span><span class=\"text-gray-900 text-base\">If you need to swap out a headlight bulb or miniature bulb, or you just want to have your headlight lenses restored, Walmart Auto Care Center is a budget-friendly option. But if you\u2019ll need more extensive work done to your headlights, visit an automotive repair shop instead.<\/span><\/div><div class=\"jerry-block-content\" contentclassname=\"text-gray-900 text-base\"><\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jerry-meet-experts\" data-wp-interactive=\"jerry\/meet-experts\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;modalVisible&quot;:false}\">\n  <div class=\"font-circular text-2xl font-extrabold text-slate-900\">Expert-driven.
