Visual appeal
Foggy headlights make an otherwise clean car look tired. Restoring the lenses sharpens the whole front end and brings back that crisp, newer look in a single visit.
The case for restoring
Cloudy headlights cost you more than looks.
Hazed lenses dim your night vision, drag down resale value and make a car look older than it is. Here is what restoration changes, and why it's worth doing.
Safety after dark
Oxidation forms a cloudy layer that scatters and absorbs the light your headlights produce. Clearing it lets more light reach the road, so you spot pedestrians, animals and obstacles sooner.
Resale value
For many buyers, dirty headlights are an instant turn-off. They read as neglect and invite lowball offers. Clear lenses help your vehicle photograph better and hold its asking price.
Smart economics
Restoration costs a fraction of replacement. You keep your original equipment headlights and get back most of the clarity for a flat $100 per vehicle.
Restore vs replace
Keep what you have for far less.
Replacing a headlight assembly means new parts and labour for each side. Restoration brings back the lens you already own.
Restore $100 / vehicle
- Both headlights included
- Done at your location in about an hour
- Keeps your original factory lenses
- Sealed to stay clear
Replace $$$ each
- New assemblies often hundreds of dollars each
- Added labour to remove and fit parts
- Part availability can mean a wait
- Often unnecessary for surface hazing
Replacement is the right call for cracked or internally damaged lenses. For oxidation and yellowing, restoration is the value choice.
Did you know?
Clear lenses help you stay within the law.
Alberta sets expectations for how your headlamps look and perform. A cloudy, discoloured lens that dims or tints your light output can put you offside. Restoration helps your headlights present clear and white, the way they're meant to.
Section 6(4) // Lens clarity & colour
Under Division 1, Headlamps, of Alberta's Vehicle Equipment Regulation, the lens must be clear and the light shown must be white. A yellowed or hazed lens works against both.
Section 7(2) & 7(3) // Minimum visibility
The same Division sets minimum visibility requirements for headlamps. Oxidation that scatters or blocks light makes those requirements harder to meet.
