The fact that he took a seemingly broken and unrepairable headlight and used an open flame and didn't damaged the frame or the plastic and made it look like brand new is just remarkable. Kudos to that man right there.
He’s clearly very skilled at this work, the end product looks a lot better than if I tried it for sure. He’d fire me on the first day. That Mylar for the reflector and the old battery clamps, pretty genius! Also, this young man has an impressive head of hair! 😄
I'm constantly amazed at how basic their work environments are yet how impressive their personal presentation is. Seeing the children go to school each day with not a hair out of place and beautiful clean clothes.
I just love these guys. Setting on the floor bringing something back to life. One mans junk is another mans job. Great job. Even with despair in his eyes. Stay strong dude. I think all these guys are very honorable. And have my respect way over some fat rich person. Gods speed and peace.
@@XxgoodbudsxX most people get rich by taking advantage of other people, and being greedy and corrupt. Guarantee there are very few honest rich people.
The reflector is probably the hardest to get right. Given the tools at hand, nicely done. Headlights are not designed to be repairable so this is no easy feat. Well done sir.
here ,the labour is cheap ..thats how they are able to do so. or hence is always advice to apply stickers on the headlights or replacement is the option ..
Incredible ending that headlight. After being completely trash, this man brought it back to life in such an amazing way. Congrats for your effort, ability and perfection at work!
The fact he can seperate the butyl with an open flame and not damage the light is just amazing. And for anyone who doesn’t know CA glue (super glue) and baking soda is what they use to repair chips on an aircraft, ether it be nose, wing ect ect, it’s actually a really really strong bond
I don't know where did you get that info, but even if somebody does this on an aircraft, it is temporary and only serves to fill micro-dents, just to preserve aero dynamics, not repair actual structural damages to the fuselage.
Very impressive considering how hard it is to work with these, and the fact they are made to be scrapped when worn out or cracked. Nice craftsmanship here. 👌🏼
@@strawsparky33 yea nothing sadder than being "moved" by a headlight 🤣🤣 are you a soft gentle little man too,maybe you guys should write a poem to the headlights that couldn't be repaired 😭😭 I'm so touched by you headlight humanity, perhaps if everyone cried over car parts there would be no famine or crime 🤣🤣
This guy really has passion in fixing and reviving old car lights.I admire the guy.With limited tools he revives car light lenses.this is touching.Hes probably supporting his family with this that's why to him it's a serious matter and that's precisely what it is.
@@vulcano911 It is something humans do naturally from childhood, but most westerners have developed our musculature differently, because we don't have the cultural habit of sitting this way. We are so accustomed to sitting on chairs, that most of us can't sit on the ground anymore. It's like I learned that people before modern times walked on their tip-toes. This was before shoes with heels were invented, and it made it so that people had a completely different posture. If you look at antique and medieval paintings and sculptures, you can see this, but most people just assume it is some kind of stylised depiction. No, turns out people walked on their tip-toes just like small children do.
You don't work you go hungry, Here in the west work is a option, A life choice!!In my opinion this is part of the many reasons Britain is failing and in decline such a shame!!!😢
Not to sound dismissive, but this is the equivalent of detailing dirty interior in a car. Any headlight restoration video will produce these results. Even toothpaste restoration videos. I was hoping to see the patch disappear, but you can still see it pretty well in the last shots
@@zoesheck Where did I suggest any of that? I started out by saying "not to sound dismissive" meaning not to dismiss what he's done to the light. Just because he comes from a poor country doesn't mean he's incapabale or less than, but the majority of what he's done is cleaning it up. Like I said, had he fused the plastic together and made the seam dissappear, I would absolutly find that impressive.
@@Moises-kf1hg there’s no way to make that seam disappear. Whatever bonding method is used will create a seam. Or a discolored line where the two plastics bond. Yes, the cleaning part is not anything new, but the repair is the best possible.
I love the idea of recycling, I guess in some places it's out of necessity but we generally have become a 'throw away ' society. Very satisfying to see the skills displayed here.
This is when you get poor, than you find out, you have a brain and hands.. This is what they have to do,.. He whats light, he gets light, but do not ask if this will do a correct light spreading,... But respect to them at all...he solved the problem at there standart...
I love seeing how people in other countries actually fix things instead of buying a new one. Some of my old cars have no parts availability so I might need this!
Паренек мастер своего дела. Не имею представления сколько прослужит эта фара день или годы, но мастерство и умение использовать минимум средств для выполнения этой работы впечатляет. Успехов в продвижении своих навыков мастеру
I've repaired lights before. Its NOT easy. They are designed to be scrapped, so well done young fella. Great workmanship and excellent recycling skills. I genuinly believe if we watched you, western industries and their practiced could relearn what we have lost.
Nah, there's nothing to learn here. That light is utter rubbish and nobody in their right mind would spend hard earned cash on it. That lamp hasn't been "restored" or "repaired", it was patched together and will haze over, leak, and have piss poor light output for the few weeks it will hold together. The lousy paint he put on the damaged reflector will peel and fall off, further killing lumens downroad. I guess if you only have pennies to spare and don't really care about actual product performance or longevity then this kind of thing may impress. But it certainly won't fly in an industry where consumers are entitled brats and parts/repair warranties commonly push 2 to 3 years.
@@fordguy8792 That is relative, if you live in a country with next to nothing, no Home Depot just down the road, and probably no electricity, this type of skill is necessary to survive. That was an impressive video.
De verdad que es un maestro este artesano. Un trabajo digno que debe valorarse no por lo que cuesta, sino ponlo que vale una mano de obra tan calificada.
i've seen lot of videos of this kind. These people repair and recycle everything. Doesn't matter what they have the technique to fix it, and using extremely basic resources. Congratulations!!! I hope everybody could do the same!
That's the difference in other part of the world they will tell you how to DIY. And than introduce 10 products and diffrent tools to use. Here it's just basic tools you will find at your garage or your local store.
Excellent job. I've only ever popped open these types of lights to replace the lenses with new ones. This is a great and economical way to repair these.
I watch these videos to learn how to repair my own cars. Here in the U.S. everything is disposable and no one actually fixes anymore. Thank you for the insight
Так можно чинить и современные фары. Просто нужно немного времени. У вас в США нудно много работать, чтобы оплатить то что у нас в РФ идёт бесплатно или стоит малую часть зарплаты
This doese not help at all when there are countrys that dump trash into rivers and oceans by truck loads... This is like taking single pine needle Out of pine forest...
Ничего сложного в таком ремонте нет... к готовой фаре 2 вопроса: действительно ли герметична сборка на старый герметик и сколько месяцев фара будет белой с содранной УФ защитой при их Солнце? Или купить лак за 300р, чтоб задуть фару, это обязанность клиента?
Если этот чел мастер, то пускай вам такой попадётся в сервисе, где вы обслуживаете свой авто. На заводе делают на рефлекторе из высокотемпературного пластика специальное напылением. Даже на китайских фарах, где китайцы пытались быть похожими по качеству к заводском тоже спец металлизированное покрытие. У этого чурки все просто, обычный скотч с краской, даже не алюминиевый. Он облезет за пару дней эксплуатации на жаре или тупо от перепада температур. Отдельного внимания стоит прозрачный пластик. Наверное никого не смущает, что его лепуха из суперклея и соды свет не будет пропускать вообще, очень хотелось бы увидеть как "светит" такая фара. Не просто так у нас техосмотр не пройти даже с просто трещиной в фаре.
@@Paylik1987 Дело не в этом. Вы не поняли мою мысль. Понятно, что вот это на коленке сделанное ненадолго. Я хотел сказать, что у парня руки оттуда растут и при получении доступа к соответствующему инструментарию, он будет творить чудеса.
@@user-kb6nj9iw2b было бы желание и почти у каждого получалось бы нечто подобное. Только зачем? Это все равно что разорванную покрышку от авто пытаться восстановить с помощью шила и обувных ниток
@@Paylik1987 и снова не соглашусь. Большинство людей рукожопы в таких делах. Я не говорю, что невозможно научить. Почти любого наверно можно, но по факту людей с золотыми руками не так много. Поэтому они и ценятся в любой сфере деятельности.
Хром на отражателе сгорел, ни одной пленкой не заменить его, лично проверял все варианты, чисто для красоты наклеили. Полировка на пару месяцев, нужна пленка или лак, а учитывая сколько они пластика срезают, это точно одноразовый ремонт))
Это не плёнка а ремонтная амальгама используется при ремонте зеркал. на 100% конечно не восстановит но % на 60-70 будет лучше. и пластика он счищает мало совсем. у нас наждачкой при полировке удаляют больше. Конечно лаком надо покрыть для защиты это да. А так для таких условий работы это вообще прекрасный ремонт.
Алюминиевый скотч с последующей полировкой его в зеркало, на какое то время помогает. У них видимо денег на новые фары нет, вот и крутятся как могут, молодцы ребята
@@user-fc2pw9xx8u диодные линзы тоже не все могут себе позволить. Поставил биксеноновые с галогенками, шторку дальнего подключил через пятиконтактное реле. Вот буквально вчера поменял поворотник передний, после дтп заменил на нем стекляшку на прозрачный пластик рекламный (пэт), год с ним проездил, пока новый не купил
Wooaaw.. yes definitely.. the before and after results are really outstanding, the skills and talent of such working process, but also considering working conditions and primitive tools of crafting on the side of the road.. absolutely mind bending..
I would love to spend a year or so watching and learning all the various ways these mastercraftsmen refurbish and repurpose machines and parts. My feeling is that they will become invaluable in our future world..
Europe's garages are just replacing but no more repairing. Such skill is entirely lost. Really admire what this guy can do with minimal tools and even keeps his clothing clean while working.
@@PeterKupietz No reason why we can't replace the outer lens (if available) but "fixing" plastic like that, especially with LED or HID is a no no, the optics are too critical to consider doing it. Nice work though when choices are limited!
@@hoojchoons2258 not only that but once taking apart getting the lens sealed all the way requires more the just warming it up and clamping together so that headlight is no longer water tight , they actually recommend using an adhesive as well when changing the lens , me and my dad changed the lens on his vw from plastic to glass lenses because the plastic turned yellow and white and cost more the the glass lenses
This is not a real repair this is a temporary I can't buy a new one or go to a junkyard and get one if you ever disassembled headlights and rebuilt them or modified them you would know that the inside is not 10 for like what he has here it's a extremely highly reflective paint Metalized paint so don't think that this is a good job that thing will barely be bright enough to light the streets you wouldn't be legally allowed to drive with these in any country other than a third world country also with all the debris chemicals and everything going into those drains and just going into the ground that would be against most laws from the EPA
Без нанесения нового защитного слоя эта фара, максимум через месяц, будет выглядеть ещё хуже, чем до ремонта. Ровно тоже можно сказать о налеивании плёнки на отражатель. Там тоже срок жизни можно измерять часами. Алюминиевая самоклейка держалась бы гораздо дольше, как и краска "хром" из баллончика. Ну и применение супер клея с содой - 1) матовый непрозрачный шов; 2) сам клей очень агрессивен к поликарбонату. В последующем от шва будут расходиться концентрические трещины. Эту фару можно смело выкидывать. Видать это с ней и сделают, раз даже синюю краску от предыдущей машины не очистили. А счищать её не стали, потому что под ней будет матовый поликарбонат. С ней не так палевно. Можно отмазаться, что забыл.
@@viralmemes8960 OMG... Maybe you should read carefully and really try and understand what people are writing/saying, before applying your professional opinion little friend!! THE GUY, (JESUS) ARE COMMENTING..... FROM THE U. S. A
In case anyone is wondering what the powder substance is that he is sprinkling onto the super glue, it’s most likely baking soda / bi carbonate soda. Using the bi carbonate soda with super glue helps further strengthen the joint.
This is a good guess. I thought it was plastic powder from the grinding that he saved and sprinkled into the glue. As plastic bonds to itself the best, mixing it with the glue could help increase adhesion and strength. I’ve not heard of the baking powder method but good to know!
This guys been working on these things since he was like 8, truly skilled. Unlike Americans who go into a workforce with zero experience, this guy got that entry level job at the good old age of 10.
Отлично сделано, насколько возможно восстановить фару, так он это сделал на 100℅ учитывая технологию гаража. Если бы ещё научились хромировать пластик, то цены бы не было.
@@user-fc2pw9xx8u когда то в студенческие годы востанавливал такой плёнкой (оракал самоклеющийся) фары на "Оке", отражатель внешне там такой же. Год продержалось и не поплыло

Skilled and amazing to watch. I have learnt so much from watching these people and applying it to my own problems. Well-done to all street repair specialist!.

@@mauriciocampos2192 Es obvio que no entendiste el sentido de mi comentario, y me tomaría tanto tiempo explicártelo de un modo que lo puedas entender que creo no tiene sentido hacerlo. Bye.
I am from Pakistan, these guys do an excellent job, my brothers Prius back light was broken he got it repaired as the new one was very expensive...the repir was top class only an expert could tell the difference. and the repair is as low as 5-8 USD only
This light would definitely be scrapped in the UK & I doubt anyone could fix it, let alone fix it to a high standard and you can’t even tell if it’s been repaired! WOW! 👏👏👏 Ma’sha’llah 👌
No one would bother fixing it, the labour involved would outweigh the cost of a new headlight more than likely, not to mention the fact that you can very much tell it has been repaired, can easily see the patch that has been added, this would also more than likely fail an mot due to distorting the beam pattern. There's a reason this isn't done in the UK 👍
@@TheWildPikey Yeah just like the all the 'clean' accident damaged cars going around 😂 I promise you alteast 90% of people would never clock it's been repaired. You only know because you've seen the work been done. These lights are from the 80s maybe 90s also so this repair would only make them better 😂
@@nahmed92 accident damage repairs are an entirely different topic which I wasn't talking about and actually I can clearly see it so whether or not I'd seen it being repaired I would see that and if someone didn't see it then it would still fail an mot!

He sure tries his hardest for just $5.00. Great job young man. Most of us spend $5.00 on a coffee and what do we get. This man gets a perfectly usable headlight.
Пленкой восстановить отражатель? Проверял - работает только в поворотниках и задних фарах .. где лампочка по мощнее пленка плавться и мутнеет загаживая оставшийся отражатель .. решение - алюминиевый скотч !
Just amazing!!! Here in the west if anything resembles this lens it would be scraped!! But not these guys, No measurements very few tools!!The hole in the lens you would think must be a right off!! Not a bit of it this young man go's to work his skills would put most craftsman to shame in the west!!! The only thing I could see from the west was super glue😮 A true master of his trade 🤔🙂👍
Very good job, looks just like new. Every video I watch shows just much passion every one has in repairing a broken part. Even though a lot of repairs would not be excepted here in the USA, I would not be afraid to drive a vehicle repaired buy one of your mechanics. Again, my hat is off to all who do repairs.
Вот такие парни и живут в нищете чтобы вы в США покупали новые автомобили. А они ездят на старых отремонтированных. Ваше правительство забирает у них всё!
@@adakhochalai Just because they dont "repair" every single broke item they can because their economy allows them to bye new and safer parts when needed doesn't mean they don't use what they can when they can.. The difference between countries like USA , Canada etc etc is we know what safe and what's not. places like the country in this video because im not exactly sure where they're and other more poor countries don't care about safety that much. Sure this is just a headlight but ive seen some video of them doing some pretty sketchy repairs on parts that should not ever be repaired for another round of use
Gran trabajo realizado, mucha paciencia, destreza y sobre todo pasión por lo que hace, se nota que la gusta su trabajo, gracias a este hombre el faro de carro volverá a ser útil ✌️
