Bring Back Clarity, Safety, and Curb Appeal — Without Replacing Your Lights
Over time, your vehicle’s headlights take a beating. UV rays, road grime, oxidation, and age can turn once-clear lenses into foggy, yellowed eyesores — reducing your night visibility and making your car look older than it is. At RoamShine, our headlight restoration service revives cloudy headlights with precision techniques and long-lasting results — all done on-site at your home or office in San Diego.
If you’re tired of dull, dim, or discolored headlights, this simple service makes a big difference in both looks and safety.
Why Headlight Restoration Matters
Dull headlights aren’t just cosmetic — they’re a safety issue.
- Up to 70% light loss from oxidation reduces your visibility at night
- Fails smog or safety checks in some cases
- Affects resale value and appearance of your vehicle
- Replacement headlights can cost $300–$1,200+ — restoration is often better and faster
We’ve restored headlights on everything from family SUVs to exotic sports cars — saving clients time, money, and frustration.

FAQs
How long does headlight restoration last?
With proper UV sealant or ceramic protection, it can last 12–24 months, depending on sun exposure and vehicle use.
Can this fix cracked headlights?
No — restoration improves the exterior lens. It won’t fix cracks, moisture buildup inside, or internal damage.
Do you use a kit?
No. We use a professional-grade multi-step sanding and polishing system, not a wipe-on kit.
Will it pass inspection after restoration?
In most cases, yes — significantly improved clarity can help ensure your car passes visibility requirements.
