Auto body shops will often charge more than $100 to replace car lights; one resident told Parks he was quoted $600 for a light change. But with the county purchasing lights wholesale at $15 to $30 …
Luis Covarrubias, a vehicle serviceman for the Cook County sheriff’s office, replaces a headlight for a resident April 18, 2024, as part of a Light Saver Event in South Holland. Broken headlights and turn signal lights are common causes for drivers to be pulled over by police.
County officials did not know how much Thursday’s free light installation, known as the Light Saver Event, would cost. Even though more than 20 of these events have been held, including three so far in 2024, things such as the price of the lights, the number of sign ups and even the weather affect the cost.
Thursday, the first time this initiative has come to South Holland, saw 62 signups. But officials say they also take walk-ups if a resident’s car model matches the extra lights they have around.
