Why Headlight Restoration Matters
🔒 Safety First
- Improves Nighttime Visibility: Cloudy lenses can cut light output by up to 80%. We restore clarity so you can see — and be seen.
- Enhances Road Presence: Clear headlights make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, especially in fog or at night.
💰 Cost-Effective & Cosmetic
- Saves You Money: Restoration is a fraction of the cost of new headlights (which can run $400–$1,200+).
- Improves Appearance: Fresh headlights dramatically clean up your vehicle’s front end — especially on darker-colored cars.
- Boosts Resale Value: First impressions count when selling. This is a quick, high-impact upgrade.
What Is Headlight Restoration?
Headlight restoration is the process of removing oxidation and yellowing from the surface of plastic headlight lenses. This is done by sanding, polishing, and sealing the surface — professionally, not with cheap kits. The result? Better visibility and a like-new look.
Our 4-Step Restoration Process
At Blackout, we use a proven, detailer-grade process:
- Cleaning: We remove all debris, sap, and chemical residue
- Wet Sanding: Multi-grit sanding removes oxidation and surface defects
- Machine Polishing: Restores smoothness, depth, and clarity
- UV Sealant Application: Protects against future yellowing and UV damage
⏱️ Takes about 45–60 minutes. Results last 1–2 years — or up to 10 with PPF add-on.
Want Long-Term Clarity? Add Paint Protection Film (PPF)
To keep your headlights looking clean for years, we recommend adding paint protection film (PPF) after restoration. It helps with:
- 10+ years of UV protection
- Rock chip and scratch resistance
- Self-healing top coat for long-term clarity
Ask us to bundle it with your restoration service.
