What to use to hold a headlight removed from the car while working on it ?

Post by HBCC »

I was thinking of getting a big dense foam block and putting a V down the centre of the top of the block and placing the headlight in the V and if needed a couple of rags to stop it rocking if needed.

What do you guys use ?

Is there something better than what I plan to use ?

Regards
Paul.

When we restore headlights that aren't on the vehicle we use a Rockwell Jawhorse.

That looks pretty cool Korey. Does it pack up small enough to fit in the back seat of a small 2 door hatch back like this ?
