Swiss list prices on LED headlight assemblies make repair-or-replace a different calculation than in the EU. EDK Automotive takes the unit in Wiesloch — a short hop from Basel — repairs the failed component, and sends it back to the CH workshop. We do not run a Swiss retail counter; we run a cross-border specialist bench for garages that already understand export declarations and would rather not buy a new lamp at Swiss dealer cost.
The car never leaves the Swiss workshop. Only the lamp crosses.
Your Swiss garage ships the headlight with the commercial documents you already use for DE parts.
Diagnosis in the same technical language as our German jobs, with CH job numbers preserved.
Covers, tabs and drivers — the parts that fail — not a forced swap of a still-good matrix module.
Back across the border to the sending workshop for refit and the Swiss roadworthiness view.
A coating kit in the wash hall does not fix a driver module, and it does not satisfy a customer who just saw the dealer quote.
Swiss cars mix high UV, winter grit and frequent tunnel dirt. Recoating and resealing have to hold that mix, not just look clear under a garage neon on the day of collection.
A repaired cover returning to Switzerland is a fraction of the mass and value of a new assembly. For a market that already prices resources highly, that is the rational default.
We are not “near Zürich”. We are on the German side of the Basel logistics funnel. If your parts already travel that funnel, headlights are not a new geography — they are a new commodity on a known road.
