Depends on what your definition of 'needed' is I guess.
My sister owned a 2008 Civic and it was still on its original headlight bulbs when it was totalled in 2021, and the car did see regular use at night. I remember being a passenger during the last days of the car, looking at the brown beam pattern on the road, and asking her "Have you thought of changing the headlight bulbs?".
Her reply: "Why? They still work"
I mansplained to her that as bulbs age, their output diminishes which can cause issues with, you know, seeing things at night.
Her response: "It doesn't matter, there are street lights everywhere"
Me: 🤦♂️
Point is, OEM bulbs can lose a significant amount of light before they eventually burn out, whereas for example premium aftermarkets tend to burn out first.
If you drive a lot at night, it's probable that your headlights have lost a significant amount of output and you're not able to see as well as you did when your car was new. And you probably haven't noticed because the loss of output is gradual.
P.S. After the Civic was totalled (for reasons unrelated to headlights), she bought a '20 base model Civic with halogens. One of her first remarks when we did the test drive (at night) was "Wow the headlights are really bright!".
Me: "No, that's the street lights you're seeing"
She didn't get the joke....
P.P.S. Turns out, her new Civic has probably what are the most easily accessible headlight bulbs known to man. They're literally right there in your face when the hood is lifted. Not that she would ever care.
