What we buy

What headlights do you buy?

OEM headlights of every make, model, and year. We are always interested in LED and HID/Xenon. Halogen values vary by vehicle and are assessed individually, so it is still worth sending photos. Headlights are the only part we buy, and that focus is what lets us quote so quickly.

How damaged can a headlight be?

Fogging, hazing, yellowing, broken tabs, scuffs, scratches, sun fade, and minor cracked housings are all fine and do not reduce what we pay. We repair housings, so small cracks there are no problem at all. Where we have to stop is a cracked, chipped, or shattered lens, a housing broken wide open or in pieces, anything burned or melted, and flood or water damage.

Do you buy aftermarket headlights?

No, we buy factory OEM units only. An OEM assembly is built to a manufacturer's spec with components worth recovering. Aftermarket internals are not, so there is no honest price we could offer you. We would rather tell you that up front than have you ship one.

What we pay

How much do you pay?

It comes down to the light source and the vehicle. LED and HID/Xenon are the ones we are always interested in, because the modules, drivers, control units, ballasts, igniters, and projectors inside are all recoverable. Halogen values vary considerably by vehicle, so we assess each unit individually.

What actually moves the number?

Three things. The light source, which is the biggest factor by a distance. The specific vehicle, because demand is not even across models and two headlights in identical condition can be worth very different amounts. And the condition of the lens and housing, since wear and broken tabs do not affect the price but a cracked lens does.

Why will you not just publish a price list?

Because any list specific enough to be useful would be out of date within a month, and any list general enough to stay accurate would be useless to you. Photos get you a price in minutes, which is faster than reading a chart anyway.

Is the quote you give the price I get?

Yes, as long as the headlight matches the photos. We quote one firm price per unit and we do not revise it downward on arrival when the unit is as described. That is exactly why we ask you to show any damage up front.

What photos should I send?

Four views cover it. The front lens straight on, the back of the housing, a close-up of any damage, and the part-number label. If the label is gone, a VIN or the year, make, and model works. When we cannot see something clearly we have to price cautiously, so clear photos usually work in your favor.

Who can sell

Can I sell just one headlight?

Yes. There is no minimum quantity and no account to set up. A single headlight is worth sending, and we quote it the same way we quote a pallet.

Do you buy in my state?

We buy in all fifty states, and shipping is free and prepaid regardless of where you are.

We pull headlights every week. Can we set something up?

That is our favorite kind of customer. We will set a standing schedule, quote each unit as it comes in, and keep things moving without you having to chase anything. Get in touch and we will arrange it.

Shipping and payment

How do I get my shipping label?

Once you accept the quote, send us the address you are shipping from and we email you a prepaid label as a PDF. Print it and tape it to the box. No printer? Text us at 833-519-7001 and we will work something out.

Who covers shipping?

We do, always. It costs you nothing to send the headlight in. Use any sturdy box you have on hand, with enough padding that the lens is protected in transit.

How do I get paid?

Whichever way is easiest for you. We work with Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, Check, and direct ACH. Every purchase is recorded so you have paperwork if your shop needs it.

What if the headlight is not what the photos showed?

We come back to you and talk it through. You will not get a surprise from us. This is the whole reason we ask you to disclose any damage when you first send photos.

About us

Who are you?

A team with over ten years in the automotive industry, buying OEM headlights nationwide. We are not a marketplace and not a middleman. We buy with our own money, which is why you deal with us directly from the first photo to the final payment.

Why should I sell to you rather than somewhere else?

Speed and no friction. You get a firm price in minutes from your photos rather than emailing a list and waiting days. Shipping costs you nothing. There is no minimum and no account. You pick how you get paid. And if we have to decline, we tell you before you ship rather than after it arrives.

Still have a question?

Call or text and you will get a person, not a ticket number. Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm Pacific.
