Headlight Restoration, Bermagui NSW

From $80

Yellowed or cloudy headlights make your car look old and reduce night visibility. Headlight restoration clears the haze and restores bright, clear lenses, at your home or workplace.

Why headlights go yellow and foggy

Modern headlights are made from polycarbonate plastic, which degrades under UV exposure over time. The clear coat on the lens breaks down, turning yellow and hazy. The result:

  • Significantly reduced light output at night (safety issue)
  • Yellowed, aged appearance that affects resale value
  • Failed roadworthy inspections in some cases
Pricing: from $80 per pair of headlights. Far cheaper than replacement, which can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars per unit.

Professional restoration at your door

Headlight restoration involves sanding back the degraded outer layer of the lens through progressively finer grits, then polishing to restore clarity, and applying a UV-resistant sealant to protect the results.

Done correctly, restoration brings headlights back to near-new clarity, dramatically improving both appearance and light output. Results typically last 2–3 years before maintenance may be needed.

We bring all equipment to your location. The process takes 1–2 hours per pair and can be done while you're home.

Headlight Restoration FAQ

  • How long does headlight restoration last?
    With a quality UV sealant applied after polishing, results typically last 2–3 years. Parking under cover and applying a headlight-specific UV protectant periodically extends the results further.
  • Will restoration work on severely yellowed headlights?
    Yes, even heavily oxidised headlights respond well to professional restoration. The key is using the right sanding progression and finishing with a quality UV sealant. We'll assess the severity when booking and give you a realistic expectation of the result.
  • Is headlight restoration cheaper than replacement?
    Significantly. OEM headlight units for most vehicles cost $200–$800+ per headlight (plus fitting). Aftermarket units vary but are still expensive. Professional restoration achieves near-new clarity at a fraction of the cost and without the hassle of sourcing and fitting new units.
  • Can you restore headlights at my home in Bermagui?
    Yes, this is a fully mobile service. We bring all sanding, polishing and sealing equipment. The car just needs to be accessible and ideally in shade or undercover for the UV sealant to cure properly.

Joe did an absolutely incredible job on my car. It was in a bit of a state after all the rain inside and out (parked under a pine tree) and it literally was a night and day difference when I picked it up. Feels brand new again. Highly recommend!

Joe is absolutely amazing. My car looks and smells brand new, I didn't want to put my feet in and drive it, it looked so good. He was on time, efficient and the job was great value for money. So glad I've used Driven Detail, will do again. Thanks Joe.
