Headlight Restoration and Replacement

2023 Kia K5 Headlight

 

Cloudy, yellowed, or cracked headlights not only affect the look of your vehicle but also compromise visibility and safety. At Byers Collision Center, we specialize in headlight restoration and headlight repair, helping New Albany drivers see clearly and drive confidently, day or night.

Why Headlight Restoration Matters

Over time, UV rays, road debris, and weather can wear down the protective coating on your headlights. This leads to foggy or dim lights, which reduces nighttime visibility and puts you at risk. Headlight restoration is a process that removes oxidation, polishes the lens, and reseals the surface for a like-new shine.

What Is Headlight Restoration?

Our technicians follow a proven multi-step process to restore clarity and function:

  • Clean and prep the headlight lens
  • Wet-sanding to remove oxidation and surface defects
  • Machine-polish to bring back transparency
  • Apply a UV-protective sealant for long-term durability

The average cost to restore a headlight ranges from $75 to $150, depending on the vehicle type and the condition of the lens. Restoration is a smart, cost-effective option when the headlight housing is still structurally intact. Learn more about the cost to restore your headlight at Byers Collision Center.

When To Consider Headlight Replacement

If your headlights are cracked, leaking, or severely damaged, restoration may not be enough. In those cases, we offer professional headlight repair or complete headlight replacement using OEM-quality components. The cost to replace a headlight can vary significantly. Expect:

  • $150 to $300 per headlight for standard halogen systems
  • $500 to $1,200+ for LED or HID systems in modern vehicles
  • Labor and recalibration fees if advanced headlight systems are involved

We work with most insurance providers and can help determine if your headlight repair or replacement is covered under your policy. Contact us for the exact cost to replace your headlight.
