Headlight restoration is $80 for the pair and takes about an hour. Sanding and polishing removes the yellow, hazy oxidation from the plastic lens, which measurably improves how far your headlights throw light at night.
Headlight lenses are polycarbonate with a thin UV-protective coating on the surface. Inland Empire sun destroys that coating over a few years, and once it fails the plastic underneath oxidizes — first cloudy, then distinctly yellow.
This is not just cosmetic. A yellowed lens scatters light instead of projecting it, so you genuinely see less of the road.

What's involved
- Lenses wet-sanded through progressive grits to cut off oxidation
- Machine-polished back to clarity
- Sealed to slow the yellowing coming back
- Both headlights — $80 covers the pair
Restoration works on surface oxidation, which is the overwhelming majority of yellowed headlights. If a lens has hazing on the inside from a failed seal, or the reflector housing behind it has burned, that is not something polishing can reach — those need replacement, and we will tell you so rather than take the $80.
Headlight Restoration FAQ
How much is headlight restoration?
$80 for both headlights, done at your address.
How long does headlight restoration last?
Typically a couple of years before UV starts to haze the lens again, depending on how much time the car spends parked outdoors.
Does headlight restoration improve night visibility?
Yes. A yellowed, oxidized lens scatters light rather than projecting it forward. Clearing the lens restores the beam.
Can you fix headlights that are foggy on the inside?
No. Internal fogging means the housing seal has failed and moisture is getting in. Polishing only addresses the outer surface, so that housing needs replacement.
