How Mail-In Headlight Repair Works

To send your headlight for repair, you start with a few photos and a free quote, not with a trip to a shop. Headlight repair by mail takes five steps, from anywhere in the U.S. Nothing is repaired until you say yes in writing.

From $400 per headlight — final price in your free quote. Packing and shipping instructions come with your quote.

Five steps to ship your headlight for repair

  1. Ask for a quote with photos

    Tell us the year, make and model, describe the fault and add a few photos. Start with a free quote on our quote request form.

  2. Receive your written quote

    You get the price for your headlight in writing. Repair starts only after you approve your written quote.

  3. Pack and send the headlight

    Once you say yes, you ship only the headlight. Packing and shipping instructions come with your quote.

  4. The repair

    The headlight is opened, the fault is repaired and the unit is sealed again. We confirm the turnaround time in your quote.

  5. Back to you with a warranty

    The repaired headlight is shipped back, ready to refit. Every repair includes a written warranty; terms are in your quote; see Headlight Repair Warranty.

Before you send your headlight for repair

  • Remove the headlight from the car, or ask your mechanic to do it. Only the headlight travels; the car stays with you.
  • Take clear photos of the lens, the back of the housing, the mounting tabs and any damage.
  • Note the part number on the housing label if you can read it. It helps us identify the exact unit.
  • Wait for your quote before you ship. It tells you how to pack the headlight and where to send it.

Who pays shipping, and what if it is damaged on the way?

These are fair questions, and the answers are part of your quote. Packing and shipping instructions come with your quote.

You read the shipping terms together with the price, before you approve anything. If they do not work for you, you simply do not ship.

Shipping and process questions

Can I send both headlights at once?

Yes. Choose both headlights on the quote form. Each headlight is priced in your quote.

Can I ship the headlight before I have a quote?

Please wait for the quote. It includes the packing and shipping instructions, and it lets you decide before anything is sent.

Do you remove or refit the headlight?

No. The service works by mail, so you or your mechanic take the headlight off and put it back on.
