Car Headlight Restoration

Car Headlight Restoration
in Bridport, Dorchester and the Surrounding Areas

Enhance your driving experience with car headlight restoration from Dorset Auto Restore Ltd. Over time, the UV protective coating on car headlights can degrade, causing the lenses to become hazy, yellowed or scratched. This significantly reduces headlight performance and, consequently, visibility. Our car body repair centre’s headlight restoration service removes these imperfections and restores headlights to their original clarity. 

If you are in Bridport, Dorchester or the surrounding areas, we welcome you to visit our workshop in Weymouth for expert headlight refurbishment. Please feel free to contact us to arrange an appointment.

Restore Cloudy Headlights

Headlight restoration is a process that revitalises aged headlight lenses. Our service is suitable for:

  • Dull Headlights

  • Foggy or Cloudy Headlights

  • Yellowed Headlights

Age, UV exposure and other environmental factors can cause headlights to degrade, but you don’t have to replace them! Our team provides an affordable car headlight restoration service, returning them to like-new clarity. This service not only enhances your car's appearance but also ensures safer night driving conditions. Our process involves the following steps:

  • Headlight Cleaning

    We thoroughly clean the headlights to remove any dirt, debris and oxidation.
  • Sanding

    We remove the degraded layer of the lens using abrasive materials, such as sandpaper or specialised discs.
  • Polishing

    A polishing compound is applied to smooth out the surface and create a clear finish.
  • Protective Coating

    Our team applies a UV-resistant coating to help prevent future discolouration and protect the restored lens.

Professional restoration from a car body repair centre offers long-lasting results and may include the application of paint protection film (PPF) to further protect the lens.

Headlight Refurbishment FAQs

Can my car fail its MOT due to cloudy headlights?

Yes, cloudy or foggy headlights can cause a vehicle to fail its MOT. Headlights need to be clear and allow light to pass through without obstruction. If they are yellow, hazy or oxidised, this will affect the light output and beam pattern, potentially leading to MOT failure.

Upcoming MOT? Contact Dorset Auto Restore Ltd for headlight cleaning ahead of the test. We are trusted by motorists in Bridport, Dorchester and all surrounding areas.

Why are cloudy headlights a problem?

  • Reduced Light Output

  • Obstructed Beam Pattern

  • Safety Hazard

Cloudiness can scatter light and affect the beam pattern of headlights, making them less effective and reducing visibility. This poses a safety hazard, as it limits the driver’s ability to see in poor or low light and can impact other road users.

What should I do if my headlights are cloudy?

Our car body repair centre recommends car headlight restoration as the first option, as this is a cost-effective solution. However, in some cases, it may be necessary to replace the headlights.
