How Much Does Headlight Restoration Cost in 2026?

Headlight restoration pricing is all over the map. Here's an honest breakdown so you know what you're actually paying for.

DIY kits ($20–$40)

Auto parts store kits include a sanding pad, polish, and sometimes a wipe-on sealant. Results vary wildly — and most kits provide minimal UV protection, so the haze returns within months.

Quick detailers ($50–$100)

Often just a polish — no sanding, no real sealant. You'll see an instant cosmetic improvement that fades fast under California sun.

Professional mobile restoration ($80–$150)

Multi-stage wet sanding, machine polishing, and a proper industrial UV-protective topcoat applied at your location. Our flat price is $125 for both headlights, fully sealed and guaranteed.

Dealership replacement ($800–$2,500+)

Brand new OEM assemblies, plus labor, plus aiming. Necessary if your lens is cracked or your housing is damaged — but overkill for cloudy plastic on an otherwise good headlight.
