2013 Lexus GS350 — Headlight restoration by Carlos in Broward County, FL. Backed by a 3-year personal guarantee.
Everything you need to know about professional headlight restoration — answered honestly by Carlos, South Florida's mobile headlight expert.
There are really three options when your headlights are foggy or yellowed:
DIY kits ($10–$30) — These can give you temporary results but most don't include a proper UV protective coating. Without that coating your headlights will fog up again within weeks or months.
Headlight replacement ($200–$800+ per pair) — This is almost always overkill. If your headlights are just cloudy or yellowed, you don't need to replace them — you need to restore them.
Professional mobile restoration ($147) — I come to you, restore both headlights using commercial grade equipment and UV coating, and back the results with my personal 3-year guarantee.
Technically yes — but only for a few weeks at best. WD-40 temporarily fills in the microscopic scratches on your headlight lens making them look clearer, but it offers zero UV protection, attracts dirt, and can actually damage the plastic over time.
The real problem with foggy headlights is UV oxidation — the factory clear coat has broken down and the plastic is degrading. WD-40 doesn't fix that. It just masks it temporarily.
With a proper commercial grade UV coating applied correctly, professional headlight restoration should last 3 years or more. The key is the UV protective coating — without it results can fade in weeks.
I back every restoration I perform with my personal 3-year guarantee. If your headlights fog up within 3 years of my service I come back and redo them at no charge. No questions asked.
Most headlight restorations take 45 minutes to 1 hour for both headlights. I work efficiently without cutting corners — every step of the process gets the attention it deserves.

Headlight replacement means removing your entire headlight assembly and installing a new one. This can cost anywhere from $200 to $800+ per headlight at a dealership or auto shop — and in most cases it's completely unnecessary.
Headlight restoration means professionally removing the oxidation and UV damage from your existing headlight lens and resealing it with a protective UV coating. The result looks brand new at a fraction of the cost.
If your headlights are cracked, broken, or have internal moisture damage — replacement may be necessary. But if they're just foggy, yellowed, or hazy — restoration is almost always the right call.
