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