Got some second-hand headlights on the weekend. Because I'm driving my British right-hand-drive Saab on the right hand side of the road, the headlights are aimed slightly towards the oncoming traffic - so by law I have to have covers glued to the lights. This doesn't work so well on modern headlights, because the reflectors consist of many parabolas. In any case, it's only a temporary measure. Thankfully the replacement lights just slot straight into the car and now my lights aim slightly to the kerb side.
The postage & payment system works well, too. When buying second-hand car parts by post, the wrecker's yard or parts dealer sends the parts to the post office. Instead of paying for the parts when you order them (running the risk that they'll never turn up) you pay for the parts and postage when you pick them up from the local post office. You get an SMS when the parts arrive. Good system.
