Headlight Restoration

Restore cloudy, yellowed headlights to crystal-clear clarity for improved nighttime safety and appearance.

About Headlight Restoration

UV exposure, road debris, and time cause headlight lenses to oxidize, turning yellow or hazy and reducing nighttime visibility by up to 80%. Our headlight restoration service uses a multi-stage wet-sand and polishing process to strip away the degraded outer layer and reveal the clear lens beneath, finishing with a UV-resistant sealant to delay future oxidation. Restored headlights are dramatically brighter and look factory-new without the cost of replacement. Wichita Detailing Pro restores headlights on all makes and models, and most vehicles see a complete transformation in under 90 minutes.

What's Included

  • Restores up to 80% of lost nighttime visibility

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does headlight restoration take?
Most vehicles take 45–90 minutes per pair of headlights. The process involves multiple stages of wet sanding, polishing, and sealing — we don't rush it. You're welcome to wait at our Wichita location or drop off your vehicle.
How long will the restoration last?
With our UV sealant applied, most restorations last 2–4 years before noticeable re-yellowing occurs. Keeping your vehicle garaged and applying a light wax to the lenses periodically can extend results further.
Is headlight restoration worth it compared to replacement?
In most cases, yes. New OEM headlight assemblies can cost $200–$600+ per side, while professional restoration costs a fraction of that. If the lens is cracked or the internal reflector is damaged, replacement may be necessary — but for oxidation and yellowing, restoration is almost always the smart choice.
