Restored headlight glowing clear at dusk

We come to you · Right in your driveway

Professional headlight restoration— in your driveway

Most shops sand the haze off and hand it back with a finish that yellows inside a year. We restore the lens properly and seal it with manufacturer-warrantied coatings rated up to 10 years — at your home, across Vernon and the Okanagan. From $149.

Selling your car? Hazy lenses are the first thing a buyer notices — $149 to fix the thing that makes a clean car look neglected.

Why it matters

Cloudy lenses steal your light — and your resale price

Okanagan sun bakes the factory UV coating off polycarbonate lenses. You lose brightness exactly when you need it most, on dark rural roads, and buyers read a hazy front end as a neglected car.

Safer nights, right away

A clear lens puts your headlight's output back on the road instead of scattering it in the plastic — you notice it on the first drive home.

A fraction of replacement

New assemblies commonly run $300–$800 per vehicle, before labour. Restoration starts at $149 for both lenses.

Lasts, unlike a DIY kit

Kits sand the haze off but restore almost no UV protection, so lenses yellow again within months. The coating tier is what makes it stick.

Good · Better · Best

Pick your protection tier

Every tier gets the same professional restoration — masked, wet-sanded and machine-polished for maximum light output. What differs is how long the protection lasts. A DIY kit skips the protection entirely — that's why those lenses yellow again in months. Essential gives you a year and can be topped up. A kit gives you a season and can't. All prices in CAD, per vehicle (two headlights).

The process

Four steps, documented every time

  1. 01

    Inspect & document

    We check for cracks, internal fogging and pre-existing damage, then shoot date-stamped before photos at matched angles.

  2. 02

    Mask & wet-sand

    Surrounding paint and trim are fully masked. We stage through grits to remove the failed factory UV coating.

  3. 03

    Polish or spray

    Headlight lenses are polished for optical clarity. On 2K jobs, the sprayed, chemically-cured clear goes on at this stage instead of a polish.

  4. 04

    Coat, cure & hand back

    Your chosen coating or film goes on, we shoot the after photos, and you get a warranty card plus aftercare instructions.

Questions

Straight answers before you get a quote

+What does it cost compared to replacement?

New headlight assemblies commonly run $300–$800 per vehicle, before labour. Our Ceramic Essential tier starts at $149 for both lenses, and Ceramic Protect is $199 — both include the free RainX windshield treatment and are usually done in your driveway.

+Will my headlights look brand new?

Most lenses come back dramatically clearer, and you'll notice it the first night you drive. Results still depend on the age and condition of the plastic: cracks, internal moisture and deep gouges can't be corrected by restoration. If a lens isn't a good candidate, we tell you before we start rather than take your money.

+What's the warranty?

We stand behind every restoration. Ceramic Essential is backed by a 1-year guarantee, Ceramic Protect by CarPro's 3-year rating, 2K Hard Coat by a 5+ year rating, and PPF Armor by 3M's 10-year manufacturer warranty — but the real warranty is our promise: if the finish fails prematurely under normal use, we'll make it right. Every job comes with a written warranty card that spells out exactly what's covered and for how long.

+How long does it take?

Most Ceramic Essential jobs are done in under an hour. Ceramic Protect is a two-stage coating, so allow extra time. 2K and PPF take longer still because of cure and application time — we'll give you a realistic window when you book, so you're not guessing.

+Do you come to me?

Yes. We're mobile across Vernon and the Okanagan, so the work happens in your driveway or parking spot. There's no callout fee in Vernon; travel outside Vernon is $25, and we waive it when we can schedule a few jobs in one trip. We also run a weekend booth if you'd rather watch the before/after happen live.

+Why is PPF quoted instead of fixed-price?

Because headlight lenses aren't flat. A simple, gently curved lens takes film cleanly; a deeply contoured one takes far more material and considerably more time to do without stretch marks or lifted edges. Rather than pad a single price to cover the worst case, we quote your vehicle. Most cars land between $299 and $379. Send us a photo of your lenses and you'll have a firm number before we book anything. We use 3M Scotchgard Pro Series 200 — the same film Vancouver shops install in front-end packages. It carries a 10-year manufacturer warranty against yellowing and cracking, and we back the installation ourselves: any lifting, bubbling or edge peel within 12 months of normal use and we re-apply it free. That covers our work. It doesn't cover impact damage or edge lifting from pressure washing — keep a pressure washer off the film edges and it might outlast the car.

+Why not just buy a DIY kit?

A kit will sand the haze off, but it restores almost no real UV protection — which is why those lenses yellow again within months. Essential gives you a year and can be topped up. A kit gives you a season and can't.
