A Lights On! voucher will cover the cost to fix a headlight, taillight, brake light or turn signal light at a participating auto repair shop. If the repair requires additional work (e.g., extra labor or wiring issues), we will generally cover up to $250 to complete the fix.
Auto repair shops must be partnered with Lights On! to accept vouchers. View a list of participating shops.
A Lights On! voucher will cover the cost to fix a headlight, taillight, brake light or turn signal light at a participating auto repair shop. If the repair requires additional work (e.g., extra labor or wiring issues), we will generally cover up to $250 to complete the fix. Any additional work will be the responsibility of the vehicle owner.
To ensure proper handling and installing of parts, no privately purchased parts will be reimbursed. The voucher covers the part and the labor completed by participating auto repair shops.
Repair times vary case by case. You can have it repaired while you wait.
The program only provides vouchers through a traffic stop by participating law enforcement agencies.
Anyone with a broken or burned out headlight, taillight, brake light or turn signal light is eligible to receive a voucher during a traffic stop.
Unfortunately no, vouchers are only given out through a traffic stop from a participating law enforcement agency.
In June 2026, we made the difficult decision to close the Lights On! Program in Minnesota and across the country. If you are an auto center or law enforcement partner, you should have already received communication about the closure and any steps needed to close out your account. We are currently in the process of notifying all other program partners and stakeholders.
If you have any questions about the closure, please contact the Lights On! team at LOP@microgrants.net.
