Frequently Asked Questions
Why are my headlights yellow or foggy?+
Modern headlights are made of polycarbonate plastic with a thin protective UV coating. Years of UV rays, road heat, and chemical exposure break that coating down, oxidizing the plastic underneath. The result is the yellow, hazy, cloudy look that scatters your light output and cuts nighttime visibility by up to 70%.
How long does headlight restoration last?+
Our professional restoration includes an industrial UV-protective ceramic topcoat engineered to last years, not months. With normal use you can expect lasting clarity backed by our workmanship guarantee — far longer than any DIY kit, toothpaste hack or quick polish.
Is restoration better than replacement?+
For 95% of vehicles, yes. New OEM headlight assemblies often cost $600–$1,500+ each, plus installation and aiming. Our $199 restoration brings cloudy, yellow headlights back to like-new optical clarity in about an hour — without touching wiring, bumpers, or your warranty.
Can you restore severely oxidized headlights?+
Absolutely. Our multi-stage wet-sanding and polishing process is designed for the worst cases — heavy yellowing, deep oxidation, micro-cracking, and clouded interiors. If the lens is structurally intact, we can almost always bring it back.
How long does the service take?+
About one hour per vehicle. Most appointments are completed start-to-finish in 45–75 minutes depending on the level of oxidation.
