FAQ
Headlight Restoration Questions
Why do headlights turn yellow and cloudy?
Headlight lenses are made of polycarbonate plastic with a UV-protective clear coat. Over time, Georgia's intense sun breaks down this coating, causing oxidation that turns lenses yellow, hazy, and cloudy. Road debris, chemicals, and general wear accelerate the process. Restoration removes this damaged layer and applies new protection.
Is headlight restoration worth it compared to replacement?
In most cases, yes. New OEM headlight assemblies can cost $300–$1,000+ per side. Professional restoration achieves comparable clarity at a fraction of the cost and takes about an hour. If your lenses have cracks or internal moisture damage, we'll let you know honestly if replacement is the better option.
How long does headlight restoration last?
Our restoration includes a UV-resistant clear coat sealant that protects the restored lenses for 2–3 years under normal conditions. To extend the results, we recommend applying a UV protectant periodically and parking in shaded areas when possible to minimize direct sun exposure.
Does headlight restoration improve safety?
Absolutely. Cloudy headlights can reduce light output by up to 80%, severely impacting nighttime visibility. Our restoration process brings lenses back to near-original clarity, dramatically improving how far and how clearly you can see at night — a critical safety improvement, especially on Georgia's unlit rural roads.
