Headlight Restoration in Vancouver BC
Sometimes our customers would tell us they have gone to a local car wash or had their vehicle detailed already but the headlights are an eyesore. Are your headlights looking foggy, hazy, cloudy, or dull? Do they shine less brightly than they once did? It’s probably time to restore them and get them back to looking and performing like new. Over time, environmental factors take a toll on your headlights, not only affecting their appearance but also reducing their functionality and making driving less safe. Let’s restore your headlights to help improve both your car's appearance and safety!
What is Car Headlight Restoration?
Headlight restoration involves rejuvenating old, oxidized headlight lenses. As time goes by, headlights often develop a yellowish tint or other discoloration due to oxidation. Exposure to air and UV radiation from the sun causes microscopic cracks in the polycarbonate lenses, turning clear headlights into cloudy, hazy eyesores.
How to Restore Headlights
First, we assess the cause of the problem, which could range from water vapor inside the headlight, environmental dirt and chemicals, road damage, or, most commonly, oxidation. If oxidation is the issue, we start by removing the foggy layer of oxidized plastic with fine sandpaper. After that, we polish the headlight to eliminate any remaining fine scratches. Finally, a UV sealant is applied to protect the lenses and prolong their clarity and lifespan.

Is It Safe to Drive Without Restoring My Headlights?
If your headlights still provide adequate illumination, you may feel it's safe to drive. However, for optimal safety, fully functional headlights are crucial, especially for night driving and low-visibility conditions. Keeping them in top shape ensures you and your family stay safer on the road. Additionally, driving with deteriorated headlights can result in fines for unsafe vehicle conditions. Anytime your headlights look dull and need restoration, Detailed Auto Werks is ready to help!
