Price and quote
What does a repair cost?

Is the quote free, and does it commit me to anything?
The quote is free and based on your photos. Repair starts only after you approve your written quote, so you can decline it.
Why repair my headlight instead of replacing it?
Repair keeps your original headlight, with its factory fit and electronics, and it still matches the other side. There is no part to order and wait for. What the price includes is in Headlight Repair Cost.
Which headlights can be repaired
Can LED headlights be repaired?
Often, yes. Many LED faults sit in a module or driver inside the unit, which can be replaced without buying a whole headlight. See LED Headlight Repair.
Can a broken headlight drain the battery?
A cracked lens on its own does not draw power. Water that gets in through the crack can corrode connectors or electronics and cause electrical faults, so a damaged headlight with a battery that keeps going flat is worth having checked.
Do you polish cloudy or yellow lenses?
No. We only repair headlights: electronics, lenses, seals, housings and tabs.
What if my headlight cannot be repaired?
If the photos show that a repair is not possible, your quote says so before you ship anything.

Is there a warranty on the repair?
Every repair includes a written warranty; terms are in your quote. How it works is explained in Headlight Repair Warranty.
How we handle the details and photos you send is explained in our Privacy Policy. The Terms of Service explain quotes, shipping and warranty.
