Figured I'd ask locally first - does anyone know of a (good) place in Berks/Surrey that can unseal my xenon lights, replace the projector lens and the cover lens, and seal them back?
If they can also do circuit board soldering it would be a bonus.

What car?

I'd be very surprised if a local garage would have the knowledge or ability to do this. Obtaining the parts alone will likely be impossible.

I actually did this to the xenons on my Mondeo a few years ago - that is, I replaced the reflector bowls inside the projector. But only because I was lucky enough to find a seller of refurbished bowls in Poland.

The rest of the job is just dismantling the light unit if you're reasonably handy with a screwdriver. You might not need to break any seals.

There's plenty of home DIYers doing this which you can find on marque forums. I'm not aware of many or any companies doing this sort of thing commercially as a stand alone piece of work.

thanks both, figured as much.
There appears to have been a company doing this up north, but apparently not any more.
Sounds like a new headlight unit then
