Buying a used headlight assembly: what to check

  1. Check for lens hazing and moisture intrusion, the two most common headlight defects.
  2. Verify halogen vs HID vs LED. The same year often has multiple lighting packages.
  3. Confirm all mounting tabs are intact; broken tabs mean loose, misaimed lights.
  4. Buy in pairs when prices allow. Mismatched lens clarity is easy to spot.
