A problem with the right-hand DRL

This Range Rover Velar headlight came to VLTA with a reported daytime running light fault.

Opening and repairing the headlight

Reaching the DRL boards meant removing the old outer lens. With the headlight open, we replaced the boards, fitted a new outer lens and professionally resealed the assembly. We then pressure-tested the seal.
