Headlight
Yellow, hazy lenses make any car look older and cut how far you can see at night. We restore them to clear on-site, then seal them against the sun.

Questions
Good to
Headlight restoration
How long does headlight restoration take?
About an hour for a pair, done on-site like the rest of our services.
How long do the results last?
With the UV-protective seal, results typically last one to two years depending on sun exposure, where the car is parked and how it's washed.
Is it worth it, or should I buy new headlights?
Restoration costs a fraction of replacement housings and fixes most yellowing and haze. If a lens is cracked or has moisture inside, replacement is the better option and we'll let you know.
