Introduction
Headlights are the eyes of your vehicle. When they fade, crack, or malfunction, your driving safety is directly at risk — especially at night or in bad weather. Luckily, replacing your Forthing headlights is a straightforward job if you know where to start.
In this detailed guide, we’ll walk you through the reasons for replacement, how to identify the correct headlight assembly for your model, and where to find genuine parts from FORTHINGPARTS — the trusted source for OEM and aftermarket FORTHING auto accessories.

OEM vs. Aftermarket Headlight Assemblies
When replacing Forthing headlights, you have two main options:
OEM Headlights (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
-
Perfect factory fit
-
Same materials and specs as original
-
Includes wiring harness and bulb compatibility
-
Higher price, longer lifespan
Aftermarket Headlights
-
Varies in quality and design
-
May offer different styles (e.g., smoked lens, DRL strips)
-
Cheaper, but may require modifications
-
Risk of incompatibility if not purchased from a trusted source
FORTHINGPARTS provides both options, but we strongly recommend OEM for newer models and critical safety replacements.

How to Choose the Right Headlight Bulbs for Forthing Vehicles
Some models allow just bulb replacements instead of the full assembly. Here's a guide to bulb types:
| Technology | Brightness | Lifespan | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Halogen | Moderate | 500–1000 hrs | Budget-friendly |
| HID/Xenon | Very bright | 2000–3000 hrs | Requires ballast |
| LED | Ultra bright | 30,000+ hrs | Energy efficient, OEM on T5 EVO |
Always match the socket size (e.g., H11, H7, D2S) before purchasing bulbs.
