1. Inspect and Clean

1. 1. Confirm part and lens description, as well as interchange information on work order, matches the part and any special instructions have been completed
   2. Inspect for any broken or missing components including tabs, brackets, guide pins, bulbs & ballast
   3. Thoroughly wash and degrease as necessary to remove dirt and debris
   4. Check for moisture inside the lens which may indicate a crack or damage to any seals
   5. Lens should be buffed (if necessary) and polished and the housing should be cleaned thoroughly

2. Tagging and Identification

1. 1. Stock number or PO number should be engraved or written on the housing

3. Shipping

1. 1. Do NOT shrink wrap lights as this often leads to broken housing components
   2. All lighting must be boxed
   3. At least 2-3 inches worth of packing space should surround the unit inside the box
      1. To quickly assess your box size - use your index, middle, and ring finger as a minimum width check between the outer box wall and the light
   4. Be careful not to overpack with material as this can apply pressure to housing components ultimately leading to breakage
      1. To ensure you’ve included enough packing material, make sure the unit doesn’t move around inside the box after sealing with tape. If you can feel weight shifting around it may be a good idea to add more material to stabilize the unit.
