What's involved

What this repair actually is.

Factory LED headlights are sealed units — when the diodes or internal driver fail, the whole assembly is replaced rather than a bulb. We install the new assembly (bumper removal is common), code it to the vehicle when required, and verify aim and any auto-leveling or adaptive functions work. Pricing varies widely because luxury adaptive units cost far more than standard LED assemblies.

Symptoms

How you can tell.

  • Part of the LED headlight (some segments) went dark
  • LED headlight flickers or shuts off while driving
  • Headlight error or 'check headlight system' warning on the dash
  • Cracked LED headlight lens from debris or a collision
  • Adaptive high-beam feature stopped working
If you delay

A partially failed LED assembly can shut down entirely without warning, leaving you with no headlight on that side at night.

Educational estimate. Real pricing depends on your vehicle, the inspection, parts availability, taxes, and shop rates. Use this as a guide while you shop quotes.
