Your Car's Headlights Are the Windows To Its Soul
For more than a decade, automotive manufacturers have been making headlight assemblies using polycarbonate lenses. For the same reason why most sunglasses use this material, it's virtually shatterproof. This extends the overall life of the assembly, but to every strength, there is a weakness. The polycarbonate surface begins to break down with the use of HIDs, LEDs, ballasts, and projection beams. Add in environmental conditions like road salts, constant sunshine, and rain, surface deterioration accelerates. Even if you've kept your car in great condition, yellow headlights can:
- Reduce Aesthetic Presentation
- Reduce Your Resale or Trade Value
- Reduce Your Visibility at Night and To Others
- Reduce Your Desire To Enjoy Driving Your Car
Don't let this inexpensive service keep your vehicle from retaining its value! An off the counter headlight restoration kit that promises a wipe-n-shine result will last for about a week. It doesn't get at the root of the problem, which is what we do here at Dyer. Using special materials, tools, and techniques, your headlights are cleaned, polished, and treated to resist the very factors that wore them down in the first place. We've put together a list of answers to some common questions we hear a lot down at Dyer:
How much does it cost for headlight restoration?
In general, headlight restoration will at $150 for both front headlights. Why the price range? Not all lenses are created equal. Some are really big, and some are really small. Some have major deterioration. Some only have minor deterioration. Rest assured, though, this service is cheaper than replacing your modern headlights, which can cost thousands of dollars in some of today's vehicles!
What is headlight restoration service?
Headlight restoration service is when discoloration (mainly by oxidation) found on headlights is removed or significantly reduced. Oxidation of lenses results from environmental factors such as UV rays, road salts, and weather. Additionally, the high-intensity beams found in modern cars contribute to overall fade.
How long does headlight restoration last?
Proper headlight restoration lasts from 10 months to 3 years. Depending on your lens type, the restoration process, sealants used, environmental factors, and your post-service care, the overall length of lens clarity can vary.
