Does AutoZone Replace Brake Lights/Tail Lights or Headlights? Answered

Does AutoZone Replace Headlights, Brake Lights, and Tail Lights?

An AutoZone store employee may be able to help you replace your brake lights, tail lights, headlights, and other exterior car lights, but the company does not officially offer this as a service, an AutoZone corporate customer service representative said.

However, AutoZone does sell brake lights, headlights, signal and side marker lights, tail lights, and other exterior lights.

We contacted several AutoZone locations across the U.S., and store associates said they would need to look at the vehicle to determine whether or not they could replace the brake lights or other bulbs.

If they can, a store associate may be willing to help you replace them free of charge after you purchase the bulbs in-store. However, if multiple parts need to be removed in order to access the bulb, you may need to take your car to a service center, store associates said.

Customer testimonials on AutoZone’s website also mention employees being willing to help check exterior lights and give advice on what bulbs to buy and how to replace them.

If you buy parts at AutoZone and need to return them but you’ve lost the receipt, AutoZone can likely look up the receipt in-store for you.
