Headlight restoration

Clear lights, better visibility.

Plastic headlight lenses yellow and cloud over the years from sunlight, road salt and washing. A hazy lens scatters the light, so less of it reaches the road, and the car looks older than it is.

In a headlight restoration I sand away the yellowed outer layer and polish the lens back to clear. Finally the lens is protected so it stays clear for longer.

A headlight restoration costs 100€. If a lens is cracked or there is moisture inside the lamp, restoration won’t help – and I’ll tell you so honestly from your photos.

The process

How it works

  1. Photo of the lights

    Send a photo of the headlights and I’ll tell you whether restoration will help and what it costs.

  2. Sanding

    I mask off the area around the lights and sand away the yellowed, damaged outer layer.

  3. Polishing

    The lens is polished in stages until it is clear again and the light passes straight through.

  4. Protection

    Finally the lens is protected so it stays clear for longer. I check the result before hand-over.

Who it’s for

When should you restore your headlights?

Restoration is an affordable way to improve both visibility and the look of your car.

  • Your headlights have turned yellow or hazy and the light seems weaker.
  • You drive a lot in the dark and want the light on the road, not scattered by a cloudy lens.
  • You are getting the car ready for sale and want it to look sharp from every angle.
  • The car is otherwise in good shape, but hazy lights make it look older than it is.

Frequently asked

If you have more questions, contact me through WhatsApp or email.

How long do restored headlights stay clear?

It depends on the age of the lights, the conditions and how the car is stored and washed. Protecting the lens after restoration slows down new yellowing. I’ll tell you more with your quote.

Does it help if there is moisture inside the light?

No. Restoration fixes the outer surface of the lens. Moisture inside or a cracked lens means the lamp needs repairing or replacing.

How much does it cost?

Headlight restoration costs 100€, including VAT at 25.5%. Send a photo of the lights and I’ll confirm restoration will help.

Can I combine it with other work?

Yes. You can book a headlight restoration on its own or together with, say, a polish or a stone chip repair. List everything you’d like in the quote request and I’ll put it into one quote.
