Usually head lamps mainly contain 5 components: Lamp housing, Lens, Bezels, Light guide, Reflectors, and other accessories.

For 1 set of functional head lamp including lighting test, we’ll recommendto make all components by CNC machining.

 

1.Lamp housing: 


Ø  Material: ABS

    Surface finish: matt black painting

    Split and glue


2.Lens:


Ø  Material: PMMA

    Surface finish: Mirror polish

    Split and glue, but we need to specially pay attention to avoid gluing marks



3.Bezels:

There might be 3 different Bezels: partial textured bezel part, chromed bezel part, and glossy bezel part.


Ø 1)   For partial textured bezel part:

      Material: ABS  

      Surface finish: partial matt black or silver painting to achieve texture effect

      Split and glue


Ø   2)   For chromed bezel part:

     Material: ABS or PMMA 

     Surface finish: Mirror polish + chroming 

     Must make in one piece, without splitting


Ø  3)   For glossy bezel part:

    Material: ABS 

    Surface finish: glossy black or white painting 

    Split and glue


4.Light guide: located in bezel part


Ø  Material: PMMA 

    Surface finish: Mirror polish, and vapor polishing for textures 

    Must make in one piece, without splitting


5.Reflectors: vacuum metalizing or chroming finish


Ø  1)   If vacuum metalizing finish: 

    Material: ABS 

    Surface finish: polish + vacuum metalizing 

  Can be splitted and glue
