Why it matters

Hazy lenses steal your light

Headlight lenses are polycarbonate plastic with a thin factory UV coating. Years of sun, heat and road grit break that coating down, and the lens turns cloudy and yellow. The bulb is fine. The light just can’t get through.

How our headlight restoration works

The Beacon process

Four steps to clear

No shop visit, no waiting room. Most restorations take about an hour from start to finish.

  1. Text a photo

    Send a picture of your headlights to (925) 332-8969. You get a clear, upfront price and the next open time slot.

  2. We come to you

    Austin brings the mobile shop to your driveway, office or job site. Paint and trim around the lens are taped off and protected.

  3. Restore the lens

    The yellowed, oxidized layer is wet-sanded away in progressively finer stages, then hand-polished until the lens is clear.

  4. Seal & protect

    A UV-protective coating is applied to replace the failed factory coat, so your headlights stay clearer for longer.

    I was uncertain whether this process would work since I had tried a DIY kit from an auto parts store with very little success. Since there was nothing to lose, I gave my OK. The process took very little time, and I was truly amazed at the result! Nighttime driving is no longer worrisome.

    Austin answered the phone on the second ring and I told him that I needed headlight restoration for two of my vehicles. He came the next day and made my headlights look brand new at a good price. I would recommend him to anyone in Knoxville looking for this kind of service.

Questions

Headlight restoration FAQ

How much does headlight restoration cost?

Beacon’s mobile headlight restoration starts at $99.99. The final price depends on your vehicle and how oxidized the lenses are. Text a photo to (925) 332-8969 for an exact quote.

How long does it take?

Most restorations take about an hour for a pair of headlights. You can stay home or keep working while we restore them in your driveway or parking lot.

Do you really come to me?

Yes. Beacon is 100% mobile. We restore headlights at homes, workplaces and businesses across Knoxville, Farragut, Maryville, Oak Ridge, Sevierville and the rest of East Tennessee.

How long will restored headlights stay clear?

Because we finish with a UV-protective coating, restored headlights stay clear far longer than a quick polish or DIY kit. Parking in shade or a garage and washing your lenses regularly helps them last even longer.

Can you fix moisture or haze inside the headlight?

Restoration fixes the outside of the lens, which is where yellowing and oxidation happen on almost every car. Condensation or damage inside a sealed headlight usually means the housing needs repair or replacement. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly which one you have.
