I see one of my Halogen sealed beam headlights has expired. So, should I be taking a preventive maintenance approach and replacing all four, or should i just replace the bad one and wait for the others?

Also, I see Wagner has new Xenon filled ones which they claim give an improved brightness. Anybody tried them and what do you think of them?We rarely drive at night, so most of the time they are on as DRL's...

When one headlight dies, I replace both of them, with the remaining good one going in my spare bulbs box.

They have been making that claim for years now.

The zenon bulbs are too bright, for on coming traffic, most people complain about them. DW and I do. When one goes, the others are on the edge.

I advise that Dutch_12078 provided the best advice. No need to replace with Xenon when you seldom drive at night.
