Minor cracks or small fragments
Repair with glass glue or professional glue: If the crack is small or the fragments can be collected, it can be filled with glass glue or special glue for car lights (such as UV glue), which is simple to operate and low in cost. Temporary emergency: If short-term protection is required, the crack can be covered with waterproof transparent tape, but it needs to be formally repaired as soon as possible.
Medium damage (large cracks or partial loss)
Filling + polishing: After cleaning the damaged area, fill it with transparent glass glue or special glue for traceless repair, and polish it with fine sandpaper after drying, and finally polish it to restore the gloss (need to be cured with ultraviolet light). Pay attention to sealing: After repair, ensure that the lampshade is sealed to prevent water vapor from entering and affecting the internal bulb.
Severe damage or missing fragments
Replace the lampshade: If only the outer shell is damaged and the internal light is normal, the lampshade can be replaced separately. It is recommended to operate through a repair shop, the cost is about 200 yuan, to avoid the high cost of forced replacement of the assembly by 4S shops.
Replace the assembly: If the internal bulb or circuit is damaged, or the lampshade cannot be replaced separately (such as the design of some models), the entire taillight assembly needs to be replaced, which usually requires professional repair.
Other precautions
Prioritize professional repair: If self-repair is difficult or the effect is not good, it is recommended to contact a repair shop or 4S shop to avoid safety hazards. Regular maintenance: Regularly check the sealing of the headlights, clean the reflectors and bulbs, and extend the service life. Legality: Repairs or replacements must comply with local vehicle lighting regulations to avoid annual inspection issues.
Do you remember those stripes on the headlights in the past?
