The headlight works after a crash. So it is intact?
Subtitles are the abridged on-screen text, not a full transcript of the audio.
A working headlight does not confirm that the housing, mounting tabs and brackets are intact. The video covers four possible problems and the specific places to check.
What to check apart from the bulb
- Mounting tabs and brackets, housing cracks and signs of moisture.
- The gaps between the headlight, bonnet and wing from two angles.
- Beam adjustment and diagnostic fault codes, according to the car's trim level.
The amounts are given by the author for a single Audi Q5 2020 case, not as general repair prices.
