Safer nights
Cloudy lenses scatter light. Restored optics put beam back on the road.
Local trust · before / after clarity
See the road like new again.
Yellowed, foggy headlights cut your night vision and age the whole car. We restore clarity — clean CA auto shop craft, not a quick kit wipe.
Headlight restoration from $25 per light — $50 for a pair. We come to you.

Why CHR
Why restore instead of replace?
Fraction of the cost
OEM headlight assemblies run expensive. Restoration brings clarity without the parts bill.
Looks sharper
Clear lenses refresh the whole front end — before/after sells itself.
Proof
Clarity you can see
Real jobs — before/after and sharp whole-car completions.

FAQ
How long does it take?
Most cars: about an hour for both sides. We’ll confirm once we see the lenses.
Will it yellow again?
Sun and road film always return eventually. A proper UV seal slows that way more than a drugstore kit.
Do you come to me?
Yes. We come to you across the Central Valley, based in Manteca. Pay on site after the job with PayPal or Venmo, whichever you prefer.
How much does it cost?
Headlight restoration starts at $25 per light, or $50 for a pair. Heavily damaged lenses may cost more, and we’ll tell you before we start.
What about cracked lenses?
Restoration fixes haze and yellowing, not cracks or moisture inside sealed housings. We’ll say so up front if replacement is the honest path.
How do product orders work?
Fill the Order form with product, vehicle (required for film kits), and ship-to. Hit Email order details. That opens your mail app to shorttalk23@gmail.com, and the page also shows your order so you can copy it and text it to (209) 481-5139 instead. We confirm fit, then send you a PayPal invoice. Once it’s paid, we ship (Lamin-x dropship for film kits).
