Headlight Restoration FAQ
Most vehicle headlights are covered with a protective, transparent, plastic lens. These headlight lenses protect expensive automotive lamps from flying stones and road debris but they discolor over time.
Becoming opaque and cloudy, this can severely restrict the amount of light reaching the road. This clouding is caused by accumulated exposure to ultraviolet light.
Until recently, the only solution to this problem required replacing the auto headlight lens assemblies at a cost of $600.00 or more!
Southland's service is only $49.99 per vehicle and takes approx. 45 minutes.

1. Will resurfacing my headlights improve my visibility while driving at night?
Yes. Resurfacing your lenses may improve your night visibility by as much as 95%. Driving with yellowed or clouded lenses is a safety hazard. After resurfacing your lenses you will notice that you no longer need to drive with your brights on all the time.
2. Can I resurface the lens to prevent yellowing if there is nothing wrong with the lens?
Yes. We strongly recommend this. Follow all three steps as if you are resurfacing an aged lens. We recommend repeating this every 12-24 months for best results.
3. I've resurfaced my headlights using your system and they look great. How long will this hold up?
This is dependent upon a number of different factors such as, climate, amount of UV (sun) exposure, salty ocean air, high mineral content in water, improper cleaning and caring for your vehicle, and other factors.
4. Is the yellow on some headlights coming from the inside?
It's possible. Depending on the car and how well the headlight is sealed, some headlights do have a little bit of yellow coming from the inside. This is usually just a small portion of the damage you are seeing and using our system will still drastically improve the appearance and your night time visibility.
5. The lights on my car have a gritty feel to them and I can see pits in the plastic. Can your system fix this?
Yes. This type of repair takes a little more work, but you'll still be done with both headlights in less than 10 minutes. Call us for more detailed instruction if needed.
6. Can I use this on the red and yellow plastic that the blinkers and tail lights are made out of?
Yes. This system can be used on any type of plastic. It doesn't even need to be automobile related.
