What affects the price
- type of bulb: halogen, xenon or LED (more advanced technologies cost more)
- access to the headlight: removing the bumper or wheel arch liner increases the labour price
- whether the service covers labour only or also the cost of the bulb
- type of workshop: an independent workshop is cheaper than an authorised service centre
Usually included in the price
- installation labour
- a new bulb in some price lists
Usually charged separately
- removal of the bumper or wheel arch liner where access is difficult (priced separately, up to PLN 100-400)
- electrical system diagnostics if the problem is not limited to the bulb itself
Prices vary considerably depending on whether they cover labour only, usually PLN 20-80, or the service including the bulb, PLN 30-180 at an independent garage. An authorised service centre may charge as much as PLN 200-300.
Prices from customers and companies
Two types of entries: customers state how much they paid for the entire job and rate the contractor; service providers enter their price lists. Customer entries have three reliability levels: ✓ verified: invoice or receipt (the editorial team has seen a document matching the entry), ✓ verified: declaration (the author confirmed the entry using a link sent by e-mail) and unverified (how we verify entries); we do not verify company price lists. Price lists entered by companies are not included in the median at the top of the page; customer amounts are included only for services priced as a complete service.

Questions about the price
How much does a mechanic charge to replace a bulb?
At an independent garage, labour alone usually costs PLN 20-80, while the complete service including the bulb costs PLN 30-180. At an authorised service centre (ASO), the bill can be higher, even PLN 200-300.
Do H7 bulbs need to be replaced in pairs?
It is not compulsory, but it is advisable: when replacing one H7 bulb, it is worth replacing the other one too, as it has a similar level of wear.
Can you drive with one blown bulb?
No: driving with faulty lights is an offence punishable by a fine of PLN 100-300 and penalty points, so it is best to replace the bulb immediately.
