Cost guide

How much does headlight restoration cost?

Short answer: professional headlight restoration usually runs $45–$200 per pair, and a mobile, owner-operated service sits at the lower end. Here's what changes the price, how the options compare, and exactly what we charge in Utah Valley and the Salt Lake Valley.

The range

What the options actually cost

Prices vary by where you are and the condition of the lens, but these ranges are what you'll see across the U.S.

$10–$25

DIY kit

Sandpaper, polish, and an applicator. Cheapest up front, but most kits skip a lasting UV seal — so the haze tends to return in months.

$45–$90 / pair

Mobile / owner-operated pro

Where we sit. A full sand-polish-seal process done at your location. Our summer special is $69 a pair; $45 for a single lens.

$100–$150+ / pair

Shop / dealership

A detail shop or dealer counter. Often a fine job, but you drive there, wait, and pay shop overhead.

$150–$400+ / side

Replace the assembly

New headlight unit plus install. Only worth it for cracked lenses or internal damage restoration can't reach.

Restoration is almost always cheaper than replacing a good lens — replace only when the lens is cracked or damaged inside.

Why the price moves

What changes your number

How oxidized the lenses are

Light haze polishes out fast. Heavy yellowing or a chalky, pitted surface needs more sanding passes and time, which costs more.

One lens or both

A single lens is cheaper than a pair. We price singles at $45, with a $69 summer special for a straightforward pair.

Lens size

Large truck, SUV, or van lenses have more surface area to work than a compact car's.

Mobile convenience

We come to your home, office, or a dealer lot, so there's no drive or wait — that convenience is built into a fair flat price, not an upcharge.

What we charge

Our pricing, in plain numbers

We keep it simple: our summer special is $69 a pair for a straightforward job,$45 for a single lens, and heavier or oversized lenses are quoted from your photos. Every job is the full six-step process with a UV protective coating — never a quick wipe-on buff. Oversized or severely damaged lenses are quoted from your photos, so the price you're told is the price you pay.

The best way to get your exact number is to text us a clear daylight photo of each headlight. You'll get a firm per-pair price back — no site visit, no obligation.
