The "computer" module for a set of headlights is upwards of $300 depending on the vehicle. Some newer trucks it can be $5-600....it is ridiculous. Of course right to repair being what it is, Tony and people skilled like him are the only saviors in 50% of instances where the pads can be replaced....if not, you are screwed.

[@Ullion404]

Replacement? Oh sry you can't just buy that small thingy, as it is a car part, you can only buy it with the complete headlight. Oh as I see you can't buy a single one, so here's a pair of headlights at only $ 2000 each. So with taxes you owe us $4500... I hate that whole business with cars and carparts.

[@notpoliticallycorrect1303]

​@@jritechnology Some of the more popular units,and more common failures are gradually being covered by the OE component manufacturers,such as Hella and Bosch themselves and through a growing collection of third party manufacturers,even for stuff like Kia where their drivers are sealed inside the light there are people out there designing kits for repair,you just need to know where to look and what to look for. I see mostly DRL failures due to their constant use,the failures that aren't caused by water ingress are almost always caused by heat soak.

When I design any PCBs with such connectors I will usually put bunch of stitching vias to the mechanical pins on the sides or sometimes even the signal pins to make it a bit stronger.

thanks for the tip on the clear soldermask - i always had problems getting a blob of coloured mask to harden all the way through - was always hard ontop but still wet underneath if it was to thick as i dont think the UV could penetrate past the top layer - so clear mask is the way to go - cheers

[@davezorc]

I've read a lot of complaints about LED headlights not being able to melt snow, so if driving in heavy snow at night one needs to continually stop and get out to clean the headlights. Looks like a bit of that massive heatsink should be on the inside of the headlight enclosure.

[@attack125]

looks like you're just making up a bunch of nonsence. (not about the melting but about this being in the light) ffs dude. but LED's can generate PLENTY of heat so no need to worry. not to mention they have made little wipers for headlights.

[@tvHTHtv]

Wow. THAT was incredible. You are insanely skilled...wow.

[@Fk8td]

That’s an led or headlight module and can be anywhere from 50-300 dollars generally.

[@OBS_studio]

Why are people not careful around these snd connectors like gawd damn it's been 15 years opening every thing in my damn house I have never ripped a connector off

[@aspuzling]

To be fair, you are probably not tinkering with the electronics in your house every day. A mechanic works on dozens of cars every week and all of them designed differently. It would be surprising if they didn't rip connectors off every once in a while.

[@patx35]

It's only recent that the general public has to work on electronics with SMD connectors. Plus, automotive connectors used to be really chunky for that reason.

[@frizzlefry1921]

[@chrisfeaka4250]

I really enjoy this format. nice work sir!

[@chronocepter]

I like to scrape lines with a sharp soldering iron. the heat helps to soften the top layer and it comes out without damaging the copper traces.

[@LegendaryAutoMechanic]

Good Job. I would have just tossed that module in the trash but you saved it! Awesome

[@robertpage2023]

Great show. It's ALWAYS good and beneficial to us out here in YT land to see any potential mistakes made when demonstrating repairs Sir. That way we can hopefully avoid making them as well knowing what can happen. It's the learning just what to do to rectify the situation that is really valuable in your instructional tutorials. Thanks again Sir.

[@jettscreemr]

Well that was different! Nice wire repair of traces, well done. I think your neighbor ought to feel like he owes you one...

[@unknown-x-1777]

Awesome job man

[@mugwump-bk7os]

Just a bit of info about the UV torch or UV source you use for curing conformal coatings etc. They come in two 'flavors' so to speak, the more common and cheaper 395nm wavelength type, and the 365nm wavelength type. Both will cure the coating, but I've found that the 365nm wavelength is much _MUCH_ faster and handy at curing than the 395nm. I use resins a fair bit and this is true for most of the resins I use, and the conformal coatings.

[@attack125]

it's almost as if 395nm is a diffrent wavelenght of light than 365 almost as if 395 is only just barely still uv light.... oh wait. IT IS. UV light is 400nm till 100nm. but the meaningfull one. UV-A. is 400-315. so it's kindof self explainatory as to why 365 is better at curing than 395. it's because it's a purer form of UV. it's smack dab in the middle of the range.

[@danielharrison1917]

Looks like a job well done! Love your videos, and I try to watch them all throughout and give a like. I'm sure your videos must help many people out there. I don't do anything like the work you do, but on occasions I like to DIY and fix things, on occasions this involves electronics. Watching your videos has improved my knowledge of soldering. My skill on the other hand is a different story.. lol! I don't have all the kit yet but I have a few soldering irons a few tips, a board holder, a rework air station and a pre-heater and a bunch of components I buy as I need them. I haven't detached and de-soldered a surface mounted IC yet or performed a re-ball, so I'm just a noob really. Love your work, please don't quit anytime soon! I have two old Titan pascal cards (connected) in my tower that have lasted a decade without any maintenance apart from the odd vacuum to remove dust. I probably should replace the paste but I'm a bit worried about my level of skill to do that. Any advice for a noob would be welcomed?

[@darrenmurphy6251]

its very tempting to superglue the connector back on but superglue (cyanoacrylate) + a soldering iron is a real bad combo! been there too many times and without fume extraction my eyes sting just thinking about it!
