Windshield Repair Forum

Recently, we restored the headlights on a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2005 Honda Accord, and a 2006 BMW 525i. We looked into what it would cost the customer to replace their headlights versus getting them restored. Below are the results of a Google search for aftermarket headlights and quotes from dealerships for the installation and purchase of new headlights.

Aftermarket headlights online
2004 Pontiac Grand Prix $147.95 per set labor not included

Kerry,
This subject would make for a great Sticky.

Thanks for the recommendation! The subject has been changed to a sticky.

Korey,
I had just had a drink with my neighbor Kerry. Sorry!

As you can see Aftermarket headlights online is much expensive the Quotes from dealerships. So if your car can be restoring that could be a good choice in order not to waste money.

I am confused on what you are trying to tell us.

The other thing to consider is, after market headlights come with a one year warranty. I know many people (including myself) offer a 2 year guarantee, of course that's for te restoration service only & doesn't cover any electrical defect.

Another point is that without having to take the headlight out, you also don't have to worry about realignment issues.

Korey,

I have started too on working up a sheet to show my customers the same. Good Work!

Just got a quote for aftermarket headlight lenses for 2004 Cadillac Escalade: $1013.99 each installation not included.
