Our services

Headlight repair services.

Whatever has gone wrong with your headlight, there's a good chance we can repair it. We work on halogen, xenon (HID), LED, Matrix and adaptive headlights for every make, and we fix the faulty part rather than replacing the whole unit. Choose a service below, or send us a photo and we'll tell you exactly what's needed.

01

Headlight lens replacement

A cracked or yellowed lens doesn't mean you need a new headlight. We remove the old lens, clean the housing and reflectors, fit a new high-clarity polycarbonate lens and reseal the unit so it is watertight. The result looks factory-fresh and costs far less than a replacement headlight.

Why repair it: You keep your original OEM headlight with all its electronics, and you pay a fraction of the price of a new unit.

Signs you need this

  • A crack or chip from a stone or minor knock
  • Deep scratches that polishing can't remove
  • A lens that has gone yellow, hazy or crazed with fine cracks
  • An MOT advisory or fail for a damaged lens

What we do

  1. Inspect the headlight and confirm the lens is the only fault.
  2. Heat the unit carefully to soften the original sealant and remove the lens.
  3. Clean the inside, and check the reflectors and bulbs or LEDs.
  4. Fit a new lens that matches the original shape and markings, and reseal it.
  5. Leak-test and function-test every light before it goes back.
02

Housing and mounting tab repair

Mounting tabs often snap in minor bumps or during bumper removal, leaving the headlight loose, misaligned or rattling. A cracked casing can also let water in. We rebuild broken tabs and repair cracked housings so the headlight sits firmly and aims correctly again.

Why repair it: A new headlight to fix one broken tab is money wasted.

Signs you need this

  • The headlight moves when you push it, or sits out of line with the bumper
  • Snapped or missing mounting tabs
  • A crack in the back or side of the housing
  • Beam pattern too high or too low after a knock

What we do

  1. Fit OEM-style tab repair kits where they exist for your model.
  2. Otherwise, rebuild the tab with plastic welding and reinforcement.
  3. Weld and seal cracked housings.
  4. Pressure-check the unit for leaks.
03

DRL and LED headlight repair

Daytime running lights and LED strips are built into the headlight, so when one fails most dealers quote for a whole new unit. We open the headlight and repair or replace the failed LED board, light guide or driver, so the DRL shines evenly at full brightness again.

Why repair it: DRL faults are among the most common reasons for an expensive headlight quote. Repair costs a fraction of that.

Signs you need this

  • One DRL is dim, flickering or completely out
  • Patchy light or dark spots along the strip
  • The DRL has turned a different colour from the other side
  • A "check lights" or DRL warning on the dashboard

What we do

  1. Diagnose whether the fault is the LED, the light guide, the driver board or the wiring.
  2. Replace only the failed part with a matched component.
  3. Check both sides for colour and brightness.
04

Condensation and water damage repair

A little mist that clears after a few minutes of driving is normal. Water droplets, standing water or mist that never clears means the seal has failed, and moisture will soon damage the reflectors, bulbs and electronics. We find the leak, dry the unit fully and reseal it.

Why repair it: Catching it early saves the electronics inside, which are the expensive part.

Signs you need this

  • Droplets or a puddle inside the headlight
  • Mist that doesn't clear after driving
  • Bulbs blowing often on one side
  • Rust or white marks on the reflector

What we do

  1. Open the unit and dry it completely.
  2. Replace damaged seals and vent caps.
  3. Repair any crack that let water in.
  4. Reseal and test for leaks.
05

Adaptive headlight and electronics repair

Modern headlights are full of electronics: xenon ballasts, LED control modules, levelling motors and cornering (AFS) motors. When one fails you often get a warning light and a dealer quote for a new headlight. We diagnose and repair the faulty component instead.

Why repair it: These headlights are the most expensive to replace, so repair saves the most.

Signs you need this

  • Adaptive or cornering light fault warning on the dashboard
  • Headlight levelling not working, or the beam stuck high or low
  • Xenon light that flickers, changes colour or won't light
  • Matrix or LED segments not working

What we do

  1. Run a diagnostic check.
  2. Repair or replace the ballast, LED module, motor or control unit.
  3. Code the part where the car needs it.
06

Headlight restoration

Sun and weather break down the factory coating on headlight lenses, leaving them cloudy and yellow. That cuts light output, spoils the look of the car and can cause an MOT fail. We machine-sand and polish the lens back to clear, then apply a UV-resistant coating so it stays that way.

Why repair it: Brighter, safer light and a better-looking car. If a lens is cracked or crazed inside, we'll recommend lens replacement instead.

Signs you need this

  • Cloudy or yellow lenses
  • Weaker light at night
  • A tired-looking car before you sell it

What we do

  1. Wet-sand the lens in stages.
  2. Machine-polish it back to clear.
  3. Apply a UV-curing clear coat. No cheap wipe-on products that fade again in weeks.
07

Genuine replacement headlights, supplied and fitted

Some headlights are beyond economical repair, after a heavy impact for example. When that happens we supply a genuine OEM headlight for your car, fit it, and code it where your car needs it, so it works exactly as the original did.

Why buy from us: You get a genuine part from headlight specialists, fitted and set up properly. Not sure which headlight you need? Send us a photo of your current headlight or its part number label.

What you get

  • Genuine OEM headlights, not cheap copies
  • The right part for your car, checked by part number or a photo of your old unit
  • Fitting at our East London workshop
  • Coding and setup for LED, Matrix and adaptive headlights where needed
  • Beam alignment checked after fitting
