Model year matters too: 2024 units carry the lowest median at $690, while 2021 tops the table at $989. Parts from 2024–2026 are interchangeable, so if the 2024 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 3 compatible years.

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.
