Bulb and LED replacement
Dipped, main beam, brake lights, indicators, reversing, fog, number-plate light. I select the right type and check that it lights properly.
A light isn't working? I'll replace the bulb and find the cause at your place
A blown bulb is the simplest case, but a light also fails because of a fuse, a relay, a bad contact, a broken wire or a fault in the control unit. I come, check whether it's the bulb or something more, replace what's needed, and don't send you to a workshop just for a light.
Bulbs and LEDs from 30 zł each
Fuses, relays, lighting wiring
Call-out within 50 km
Bulb / LED replacement
from 30 zł
Plus a 150 zł call-out within 50 km of Grodzisk. With several faults at once you pay the call-out once. I quote the price before I set off.
Call me — I will come
Why it matters
A missing light isn't only a fine waiting to happen
It is good when others can see you — before a patrol does.
A dead dipped beam, brake light or indicator is a risk on the road and a fine at a roadside check. Driving with one light "until tomorrow" often ends in two workshop visits instead of one.
On many cars the bulb is not the whole story: on newer models the lamps work with a control unit, and a fault in one bulb can trigger a message or affect the other lights. That is why, when needed, I also read the fault codes from the lighting modules.
I come with a multimeter and a scanner, not just bulbs. If replacing the bulb does not help, I look for where the voltage disappears.
- A blown bulb — dipped, main beam, brake light, indicator, reversing, fog, number plate
- A light goes out and comes on by itself — bad contact, corrosion, a wire
- Bulbs blow one after another — too high a voltage, moisture, a damaged socket
- A lighting fault message on the dashboard
Scope
What I do
From replacing a bulb to the lighting wiring.
Fuses and relays
When the bulb is fine, I look for the cause in the circuit: a fuse, a relay, a contact in the box.
Voltage at the socket
I check whether voltage and earth actually reach the bulb. It quickly points to a broken wire or a bad contact.
Lighting modules and fault codes
On cars with LEDs or xenon I read fault codes from the lighting modules, because the dashboard message is often a result, not the cause.
Adjustment after changing a bulb
On some cars, changing the bulb type requires adjusting the control-unit setting. I tell you that before the replacement, not after.
Several faults in one visit
You pay the call-out once: I check and repair all the lights at once, so I do not have to come twice.
Honestly: when it isn't the bulb
If the problem is a cracked headlamp, a flooded lamp or a damaged reflector, replacing the bulb will not help. I will say so on the spot and explain what comes next, before you incur any cost.
I repair what can be done without stripping: bulbs, fuses, relays, contacts, wires, faults in the control unit.
Prices
What it costs
The price is simple: call-out plus work. I quote the total by phone before I set off.
| Item | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Call-out | 150 zł | Within 50 km of Grodzisk Mazowiecki |
| Bulb / LED replacement | from 30 zł each | Depends on the car and bulb type |
| Fault finding and repair | 150 zł per started hour | When a service has no fixed price |
| Weekend work | +20% | Saturday and Sunday |
| Urgent night call-out | price by phone | Agreed before I set off |
Parts are not included in the labour price. I quote before I set off — never after the fact.
How it goes
What it looks like
Usually one short visit.
Phone call
You give me the make, model and which light is not working. I tell you how long it will take and quote the price.
Call-out
I come to your home, your workplace or a car park. Weekends too.
Replacement and measurement
I replace the bulb. If it still does not light, I measure the voltage at the socket and look for a break in the circuit.
Check
I check all the lights before leaving and tell you what I fixed. The bill matches the price quoted before I set off.
Questions
Common questions
Question not here? Call me — I will answer straight away.
A bulb or LED is from 30 zł each, depending on the car and type. On top of that comes the 150 zł call-out within 50 km of Grodzisk Mazowiecki. With several faults at once you pay the call-out once. I quote the price before I set off.
I can, but it is not simple on every car: in many halogen headlamps LED bulbs are not type-approved, and on some cars they trigger a control-unit fault. I will tell you before replacing what makes sense on your car.
I find the cause by measuring: voltage at the socket, fuse, relay, earth, wire. I charge the work at 150 zł per started hour — and tell you how long it will take before I start.
Yes, all the lights on the car: front, rear, brake, reversing, fog, indicators and the number-plate light.
I read the fault codes from the lighting modules and measure the voltage at the socket. When voltage arrives but the bulb does not light, the socket or the bulb is at fault; when there is none, I look for a break in the circuit.
Yes, we agree a convenient time. At the weekend I add 20% to the work, and an urgent night call-out is priced by phone.

Measurement and readout first, then the sensor is replaced — right where the car is.
