What are the best headlights for night driving?

I’m buying new headlight bulbs for my daughter, who has to drive home from work really late at night. Should I get her LEDs, or are there better options out there? Which type of headlights is best for driving at night?

It’s so nice of you to get
new headlights
for your daughter! Typically, the best headlights for night driving are LED bulbs. This is because they are very bright and tend to last for a long time without dimming.
If your daughter’s car isn’t made for LED bulbs, you may need to purchase an LED conversion kit before you can install the new bulbs. These kits include small fans that cool down the LED bulbs if they begin to overheat.
For ultimate peace of mind, make sure your daughter has a great car insurance policy—without overpaying for it.
