Peterbilt 386 Headlights
Compare Peterbilt 386 replacement headlight assemblies, LED options and bulb kits. Match the listed application, installed housing and required side before choosing a black or chrome finish.
Check the main beam’s light source separately from the LED light bar, daytime running light or turn signal. Review the selected product’s bulb specifications, connections and package contents before ordering.
Choosing Peterbilt 386 Replacement Headlights
Compare the replacement assembly or bulb you need first, then confirm fitment, lighting functions and supplied components. Use the equipment currently installed on your truck as the starting point.
Match your truck and installed housing
Start with the model year, original headlight part number, mounting points and connector. Compare these with the selected product’s application details. Listings in this collection have different year ranges, so category placement alone does not establish fitment.
Choose an assembly or a bulb kit
A replacement assembly changes the housing and includes the components listed for that product. A bulb kit services a compatible existing housing. Confirm its bulb type and internal clearance; a replacement housing may use different bulbs from the original equipment.
Compare beam and accent functions
Check whether the main beam uses integrated LEDs or replaceable bulbs. For example, the United Pacific black projection assembly with dual-function LED light bar lists H7 low-beam and H1 high-beam halogen bulbs. An LED accent does not mean the main beam is LED.
Confirm the side, wiring and contents
Select the Driver or Passenger option and desired finish. Review the quantity, supplied bulbs, harnesses and components against the parts you plan to reuse. Follow the selected assembly’s instructions for mounting, each lighting connection and headlight aim.
Peterbilt 386 Headlight FAQs
Should I choose a complete headlight or a replacement bulb?
Choose an assembly when replacing the housing; its listing identifies the supplied lighting components. Choose a bulb for a serviceable existing housing using that housing’s bulb type and the position being replaced.
How do I identify a matching Peterbilt 386 assembly?
Start with your truck’s model year and the original headlight’s part number, mounting points and connector. Compare those details with the chosen assembly’s application list and installation information.
How do I choose the side and finish?
Select the Driver or Passenger option you need, then choose the listed housing finish. Use the variation details to plan a matching appearance when replacing both sides.
What should I compare on headlights with extra lighting functions?
Identify the low beam, high beam and any light-bar or signal functions described by the listing. The wiring instructions show how each function connects to the truck.
What is included in a headlight order?
Use the selected product and variation’s contents list to confirm the number of assemblies and any bulbs, harnesses or other components. Compare that list with the parts you plan to reuse.
Will the 9007 Alpha Series Evo bulb kit fit every Peterbilt 386 headlight?
No. The listed kit requires a compatible 9007/HB5 housing. Check the installed bulb, connector, bulb seat and clearance for its longer dual-fan body and rear cover. The product excludes 4×6-inch and 5.75-inch sealed-beam housings with internal glare shields. Review the Alpha Series Evo 9007 kit details, including its stated application restrictions, before ordering.
Does an LED light bar mean the headlight has LED low and high beams?
No. The light bar, daytime running light and turn signal can use a different light source from the main beam. Read the low- and high-beam specifications for the exact assembly; projection products in this category include replaceable-bulb designs.
