Restore, Don't Replace
Once a headlight lens is too far gone to restore — cracked, or fogged with moisture inside the housing — the only fix is a full replacement assembly. Depending on the vehicle, that typically runs $500 to $1,500+ per side installed, more on luxury and European models.
Restoration costs a fraction of that and takes about an hour in your driveway. If it's not too far gone, there's no reason to pay for new.

Why This Happens Faster Here
Glendale, Pasadena, and Burbank see well over 250 sunny days a year, and that constant UV exposure breaks down the factory coating faster than in most of the country. Once it's gone, freeway grit and brake dust from the 5, 134, and 210 sandblast the bare plastic, which speeds up the yellowing further.
AAA laboratory testing found that degraded headlights can put out as little as 22% of a new headlight's light on low beam — roughly an 80% loss in forward visibility at night. Deterioration can start in as little as three to five years.
Why Headlights Go Yellow
Headlight lenses are plastic, protected from the factory by a thin UV coating. The sun breaks that coating down over a few years. Once it's gone, the plastic itself starts to oxidize — that's the cloudy, yellow haze you see.
Cloudy headlights don't just look tired. They scatter light instead of projecting it, so less of it reaches the road at night.
The Difference
Most quick fixes wipe a light polish over the haze and finish with a thin, wipe-on sealant. It looks great that day. But that thin layer isn't the same category of protection the factory coating provided — it breaks down fast, and the bare plastic underneath starts yellowing again almost immediately.
We rebuild the protection instead of skipping it.

If there's moisture or fog on the inside of the lens, or the housing is cracked, restoration can't fix it — that needs a new headlight. Send a photo when you book and I'll tell you honestly before I drive out.
