Spanish headlights fail in the sun before they fail in the stone: polycarbonate outer covers yellow and haze under UV loads that northern Europe only sees in a mild form. Talleres still often quote a faro completo. EDK Automotive repairs the cover, the housing or the electronics in Wiesloch and sends the unit back to Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona or Seville. The geography is longer than Mannheim; the wear pattern is specific; the economics still beat a new LED assembly on repairable jobs.
We do not pretend Spain is a Rhein-Neckar neighbour. We price and schedule it as Iberian freight.
The lamp ships as an EU parcel with the orden de trabajo.
Yellowing is not a chip. Deeply degraded covers go to lens replacement, not endless sanding.
The outer polycarbonate is the Spanish protagonist. Housings and LEDs are repaired when they are the actual fault.
Refit and ITV remain in Spain. We do not run a Spanish consumer counter.
UV covers, then insurer parking files, then VTC and van fleets.
Sending a lamp back to Valencia without a proper UV-protective finish is a comeback on the calendar. We treat recoating as part of the repair, not an optional shine.
The heavy, expensive object is the housing and the electronics. Spain’s typical fault is the thin outer cover. Repairing that cover is the circular option that matches the actual damage.
German pages talk HU, local drop-off and A6 logistics. Spain talks UV, ITV, longer parcel times and a taller culture that will repair almost anything except, until now, the lamp. That is the gap we fill.
