What's involved
What this repair actually is.
We replace the complete headlight assembly — housing, lens, and internal reflectors — with a new unit when the old one is cracked, badly yellowed, or letting in water. This service covers standard halogen-style assemblies; on many vehicles the bumper cover or grille has to come off for access. We check the beam aim after installation so the new light points where it should.
Symptoms
How you can tell.
- Cracked or shattered headlight lens
- Moisture, fogging, or standing water inside the housing
- Lens so hazy or yellowed that night vision suffers
- Bulbs keep burning out because the housing leaks
- Failed NY inspection for headlight condition
If you delay
Water in the housing kills bulbs and corrodes the wiring behind the light, turning a one-part job into an electrical repair.
Maintenance tip
Restore foggy lenses to extend life.
