What Causes Headlights to Become yellow and oxidized?

Headlights become oxidized due to prolonged exposure to sunlight, harsh weather conditions, and environmental contaminants. Most modern headlights are made of polycarbonate plastic, which, while durable, is prone to UV damage over time. The factory protective coating wears off, causing the surface to become cloudy, yellowed, or hazy. Factors like road debris, car wash chemicals, and pollution can accelerate this process, reducing visibility and making your vehicle look older. Regular maintenance or professional restoration can help restore clarity and extend the life of your headlights.






















Many factors determine the cost of your headlight restoration. While oxidation is the main reason you need a headlight restoration, it typically doesn’t impact pricing. Instead, key considerations include the make and model of your vehicle, as different manufacturers use UV coatings that vary in hardness—some of which are more difficult and time-consuming to remove.
The two biggest factors in pricing are:
-
The difficulty of removing the factory UV coating.
-
Whether there is an aftermarket coating or a previous restoration.
-
Deep scratches or cracks that need to be removed.
Each restoration is unique, and our pricing reflects the level of work required to deliver the best results for your specific headlights.
