Lamps & Lighting ABC Condition Grading |
|
The ABC condition of our
Headlights, Tail Lights, Turn Signals, and Side Markers will be listed in the listing description for
that part. This is how we describe the condition of our lamps and
lighting parts. All of the parts we sell are useable and clean. Most
lamps are sold as ready to install with no modifications. The bulbs are
usually included but may not be. Any parts that we determine as unusable
are scrapped and not listed for sale. If you have any questions about
the condition, or what is included, please contact before you purchase
the part.
Common Description
Definitions:
- Faded/Cloudy: The lens
of the lamp is faded but still useable. Buffing or polishing
may be able to clear the fading. Most 3-5 year old lamps have
some fading of the lens.
|
- Light Scratches: These
are scratches that are visible upon close inspection but not
obvious from 5 feet away. Any deep scratches or excessive scratching
will be noted in the listing.
|
- Pitts: Pitting is
usually caused by rocks or road debris. Most lamps are going
to have some pitting. Any excessive pitting will be noted in
the listing.
|
- Capsule Only/No Backing or
Bucket: This means that just the lens housing only is
being sold. The backing/bucket or bracket that the lamp
housing is connected to is not available or perhaps broken.
Usually the headlight adjusters are still connected, but may
not be. This type of part would be useable if you just have a
cracked or broken lens and not a collision part to replace.

"A"
CONDITION - Very Nice
We
grade our lamps as "A" condition when they are in very nice condition.
These lamps are complete and can be installed without modification or
swapping of parts. This may be a lamp that was mounted but only
used for a short time, or has been used for a while but has no major
imperfections to speak of. There may be very very minor imperfections
due to normal handling. Lamps will have no breaks, cracks,
deep scratches, or fading.
|
"B"-CONDITION - Above Average
Our
"B" condition lamps are your typical used lamp. These are
still very nice but have some minor imperfection that makes them less
than "like new" condition. There will be no major
imperfections, such as a cracks, broken mounts, missing pieces, deep scratches/gouges, or
excessive fading. This is still a very
nice lamp for your car or truck. Lamps may have some light pitting,
fading, and light
surface scratches from the car wash or handling/normal use.
|
"C"
CONDITION - Below Average
Our
"C" condition lamps are below average lamps. All of our lamps are still very useable. They will
have some minor to major imperfections. These imperfections will
be described in the listing description of the lamp. This may include deep scratches, scuffs, gouges,
fading, small cracks, or no backing piece (capsule only). If you just need a good
lamp to put
on your vehicle, this would work for you at a good price. These
parts made need some modifications made to install them, but they will work
as a less expensive alternative to a perfect lamp. All of our
"C" condition parts are still great parts that are too nice to
throw away. They will not be excessively damaged or dirty. Please
call us if you have any questions about the part or if you would like a
picture before purchase.
