On a used-car forecourt, yellowed or misted headlights read as neglected mileage even when the service book is complete. Replacing both assemblies to “make the photos work” destroys margin on mid-age stock. EDK Automotive restores the outer lens or repairs the housing so the car presents correctly, the beam is usable, and the original electronics stay in the vehicle you are actually selling.
Timed around recon bays and online listing deadlines.
Mark headlights at appraisal: yellowing, chips, moisture or a loose mount.
Your workshop removes the lamp; we do not need the whole car in Wiesloch.
Polish, replace the polycarbonate cover, or repair housing and tabs as the fault requires.
Returned units refit on the original points so listing photos and handover match.
Not every trade-in needs a lighting rebuild. These do.
A polish that looks clear under showroom lights but hazes after a week of weather is a return waiting to happen. We recoat UV-exposed lenses and reseal covers so the car still looks prepared when the buyer collects it at night.
Buyers increasingly notice mismatched aftermarket lamps. Repairing the factory unit preserves the vehicle’s original lighting hardware and avoids a skip filled with still-working electronics.
Forecourts in Wiesloch, Heidelberg, Mannheim and along the A5/A6 can drop units the same day. Groups with sites further out send recon batches on the same shipping pattern as our workshop partners.
