Factory LED headlights on the 2019 Honda Insight are rated for approximately 25,000 to 50,000 hours of use, which translates to roughly 10 to 15 years of normal driving. LED modules rarely burn out suddenly. Instead, they gradually dim over time or develop dead zones within the LED array. At 7 years old, the original bulbs on your Insight are likely overdue for replacement, though LED modules may still have life left. Even if they still illuminate, reduced brightness significantly impacts nighttime safety. When one headlight burns out, replace both sides at the same time. Bulbs from the same batch age at similar rates, and mismatched brightness is distracting to oncoming drivers.
What Bulbs Are Compatible with the 2019 Honda Insight?
Using the wrong bulb size can cause improper beam patterns that reduce your visibility and blind other drivers. It can also cause overheating inside the headlight housing, potentially warping the plastic lens or reflector. Always verify the bulb number before purchasing.
