Is it necessary to replace halogen headlights with LED headlights for a Corolla?

It is not necessary. Because the original bulb wattage is 55w, prolonged use will not affect the headlight housing, whereas LED bulbs have higher wattage, and prolonged use may cause the housing to crack or deform. Here is some additional information: 1. Halogen headlights: Halogen headlights are ordinary incandescent bulbs filled with halogen gas. The light emitted by halogen headlights is yellowish, presenting a warm color. Their working principle involves a point light source passing through a parabolic lens to transform into parallel light, providing illumination for the vehicle. The greatest advantage of halogen headlights is their strong penetration capability, simple structure, and low cost. 2. LED headlights: LED headlights, or light-emitting diodes, convert electrical energy directly into light. The energy consumption of LED headlights is only 1/20th that of halogen headlights, and they also have the advantages of low cost, long lifespan, and quick activation.
