Hi Paul, As always there are a number of possibilities, but one thing you said makes something jump immediately to my mind.

Re: What to use to hold a headlight removed from the car while working on it ?

What to use to hold a headlight removed from the car while working on it ?

I was thinking of getting a big dense foam block and putting a V down the centre of the top of the block and placing the headlight in the V and if needed a couple of rags to stop it rocking if needed.

What do you guys use ?

Is there something better than what I plan to use ?

Paul.
