What Headlight Restoration Does
If your headlights are not as bright as they should be or are only somewhat brighter when fully “on” compared to on dim, your car might need a headlight restoration. Cloudy, foggy, yellowed headlights are dangerous and can hinder your vision when cruising in the evening or in bad weather conditions. Maintaining your headlights in good condition is vital for any car to be driven safely at night. A good restoration of your headlights can enhance visibility by up to 140 percent.
Why is it important to restore your headlights?
Headlights could burn out or dim. Just like every other light bulb they should be replaced. Cloudy or yellowed headlight lenses may dramatically decrease the effectiveness of your headlights, even if the bulb is brand new. A good restoration could make your headlights shine like new, extending the lifespan of your headlights and improving visibility. Sometimes, a basic restoration procedure by our experts could be more economical.

Why headlights turn yellow and cloudy
Most modern headlight lenses are polycarbonate plastic with a factory UV coating. Sunlight, heat, road salt and grit wear that coating away over the years, and the exposed plastic oxidizes into a yellow, hazy layer.
That haze scatters the light. Even a new bulb behind a cloudy lens puts less light on the road, which matters most on dark rural roads and in rain or fog.
How headlight restoration works
Clean and mask. The lens is cleaned and the paint around it is protected.
Remove the damaged layer. Progressive sanding takes off the oxidized plastic.
Polish to clarity. Polishing brings the lens back to a clear finish.
Protect the lens. A protective coating helps keep the lens from yellowing again quickly.
Restoration or replacement?
Restoration is usually the right choice when the lens is hazy but intact. Replacement makes more sense when:
- The lens is cracked or broken
- Moisture is getting inside the headlight housing
- The haze is on the inside of the lens
- Mounting tabs are broken and the light is loose
