Headlight Restoration
Professional headlight restoration removes oxidation and yellowing, restoring brightness, clarity, and safer nighttime visibility.
Modern headlight lenses are made from polycarbonate plastic, which is strong and shatter-resistant but vulnerable to UV damage. Over time, Louisiana's intense sunlight breaks down the protective coating on your headlights, causing oxidation that appears as yellowing, hazing, and cloudiness.
This isn't just a cosmetic issue, it's a safety concern. Cloudy headlights can reduce light output by 50-80%, dramatically limiting your nighttime visibility. Many vehicles fail state inspection due to insufficient headlight brightness caused by oxidation.
Replacement headlight assemblies can cost $200-800+ per side. Our restoration service achieves comparable results for a fraction of the price by removing the oxidized layer and applying new UV protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does headlight restoration last?
With our UV sealant, restoration typically lasts 2-3 years depending on sun exposure and parking conditions. Adding ceramic coating to the headlights can extend protection to 3-5 years.
Can severely oxidized headlights be restored?
In most cases, yes. Even severely yellowed headlights can usually be restored to 80-90% clarity. However, headlights with deep cracks, internal moisture damage, or failing reflectors may require replacement.
Is headlight restoration worth it compared to replacement?
Absolutely. Replacement headlight assemblies typically cost $200-800+ per side (plus installation). Our restoration service achieves comparable clarity for a fraction of that cost. For most vehicles, restoration is the smart choice.
Will restored headlights pass Louisiana inspection?
Yes. Our restoration process brings headlight output back to levels that easily pass state inspection requirements.
