Market analysis
How much does a used Subaru WRX headlight assembly cost?
Asking prices for a used Subaru WRX headlight assembly are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, (LED), w/o adaptive headlamps; RH, lists at a $926 median, while (LED), adaptive headlamps (SRH), LH commands $1,060, a 14% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $320, while 2022 tops the table at $1,000. Parts from 2015–2021 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 7 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Subaru WRX sits 33% above the Toyota RAV4 ($458), 53% above the Ram 1500 ($400), and 27% below the Ford Explorer ($836) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used headlight assembly: what to check
- Check for lens hazing and moisture intrusion, the two most common headlight defects.
- Verify halogen vs HID vs LED. The same year often has multiple lighting packages.
- Confirm all mounting tabs are intact; broken tabs mean loose, misaimed lights.
- Buy in pairs when prices allow. Mismatched lens clarity is easy to spot.
