Labels alone do not prove fit, condition, support or approval for the intended vehicle.
Start with the existing part number, affected side, vehicle model/year and actual lighting equipment. A similar-looking housing is not enough to establish matching connectors, lighting functions or installation requirements. Include a clear label photograph when available.
Original, refurbished and aftermarket describe different supply options, not a complete statement of condition or suitability. Ask what is supplied, which components are retained, which checks are recorded and what remains to be done on the vehicle.
An outer-lens replacement retains suitable original internals. A complete refurbishment changes the outer lens and rear housing while transferring serviceable components. Replacing the complete assembly is a separate option and still requires the correct vehicle and headlight match.
The Mercedes A35 AMG record is a useful example of a housing-and-lens rebuild. It does not prove that every damaged original unit is repairable or that every replacement housing is compatible. New jobs use VLTA-supplied repair parts; historical records reflect the scope agreed for those individual jobs.
Ask for the identified part and variant, condition of retained components, repair scope, actual functional checks and applicable written warranty. A finished photograph demonstrates appearance; it does not independently establish beam aim, vehicle coding, regulatory compliance or long-term durability.
VLTA repairs the headlight assembly. Vehicle coding, aiming, camera work and ADAS calibration remain separate vehicle-level requirements where needed. Do not assume a parts price includes that work.
Compare the same side, equipment and included parts. Add the quoted removal/refitting and separate freight, and identify any additional vehicle-level work. All VLTA customer prices include GST. Availability, repair suitability and final scope are confirmed for the individual job.
