Headlight Refurbish

When you get told the replacement lights are $2400+gst each its time to think outside the box.

These lights would not pass a WOF and I thought were not able to be salvaged, but we gave them a go anyway, Very happy with the result as is the customer!!!

The latest purchase, this is what my current one looked like before I started 4wdriving, now covered in scratches and a nasty dent.
