  • LED bulbs: Bulbs made with light-emitting diodes. These bulbs last a long time, and they are very energy-efficient.
Should you replace both headlights at the same time?

Usually, its a good idea to replace both headlights in your BMW 330Ci at once. If one of them has failed, the other one will probably fail soon, too. Even if the old one still works, it might not be as bright as the new one. Replacing both is also a good opportunity to upgrade your cars lights. However, if one light gets damaged, you can probably expect the other one to last for a while, and for that reason, you may want to replace only the damaged light. In that case, make sure the replacement matches the remaining headlight.
