How we fix it
- Inspect the lens inside and out, the bulbs, the connectors and the mounts, and photograph what we find.
- Scan the lighting and body modules for stored faults on cars that report them.
- Recommend restoration, a bulb or a new unit, with a written estimate.
- Repair, code and aim the headlights, and check every exterior light before you leave.
Restoration or replacement: how we decide
We look at three things: where the haze is, whether the lens is cracked, and whether the light inside works properly. Outside haze and yellowing respond well to restoration. Moisture inside the unit, a broken mounting tab, a cracked lens or a failed LED module mean the unit needs repair or replacement. You see photos of the lens close up before you decide, and we explain which option makes sense for your car and how long a restoration should last.
Florida sun is hard on headlights
South Florida’s UV levels and heat yellow headlight lenses faster than almost anywhere in the country, and dim headlights make the evening drive on I-95 or US-1 harder and less safe. Restoration is a quick visit; a ceramic coating on the lenses helps the result last. If a headlight was damaged in a collision, see collision repair; for warning lights and modules, see auto electrical repair.
