What's Included in Our Linden Headlight Restoration Service
Performed by I-CAR certified technicians at our Linden shop
Lens Condition Assessment
An honest look at whether your lenses can be restored or whether a cracked, internally-fogged housing truly needs replacing.
Wet-Sanding
The hazed, oxidized outer layer of the lens carefully wet-sanded away through progressively finer grits.
Machine Polishing & Buffing
The sanded lens machine-polished and buffed back to a clear, smooth finish.
UV Clear-Coat Sealing
A protective UV clear coat sealed over the lens so it resists yellowing and stays clear far longer than a quick buff alone.
Both Headlights Matched
We restore both lenses so they match, instead of leaving one noticeably clearer than the other.
Free Written Estimate
A clear, itemized quote before any work begins — and if the damage ties into a larger claim, we can handle the insurance side too.

Headlight Restoration FAQs — Linden, NJ
Straight answers from our Linden body shop team
Restoring a pair of oxidized headlights typically runs about $75-$150 depending on how badly hazed the lenses are and how much sanding they need — far cheaper than replacing the housings, which can run several hundred dollars each. We give you a free written estimate before any work begins.
Badly yellowed or oxidized lenses cut down how much light reaches the road and can be flagged as a visibility issue. Restoration clears the lens so your headlights put out proper light again — a real safety fix, not just a cosmetic one. Come by our Linden shop and we'll assess them for free; we regularly restore headlights for drivers from Linden, Elizabeth, Rahway, Roselle, and Union.
We finish with a UV-protective clear coat, which helps the lenses stay clear much longer than a simple buff that skips the sealing step. Sun and weather do eventually take their toll over time, and if the haze ever returns we can re-treat them — we'll always be upfront about what to expect.
If the cloudiness is surface oxidation on the outside of the lens, restoration almost always brings it back. If the housing is cracked, fogged with moisture on the inside, or the reflector is damaged, sanding won't fix that and replacement is the honest call — we'll tell you which one you're dealing with before you spend a dime.
Most headlight restorations are done in about an hour and finished the same day, so you usually won't be without your car for long. If we spot a housing that needs replacing instead, we'll give you a clear timeline and estimate first.
