This online course demonstrates the repair of headlight tabs using the nitrogen plastic welder.

This video-based course consists of short segments that provide step-by-step instructions for repairing headlight tabs with different designs. This course teaches students how to identify the plastic of different headlight components; determine the repairability of a headlight; and fixture, repair, and refinish headlight tabs.

Some of the most common headlight tab designs are waffle, ridged, and smooth. This course demonstrates the repair and refinish of each of these designs.
