Why It Matters

Hazy Headlights Are Not Just a Look Problem

A clouded lens scatters light instead of aiming it down the road. That cuts your visibility at night, right when you need it most.

Dull or yellowed lenses can also flag up as a fail point at your NCT. Headlamp aim is one of the most common reasons cars fail. If your headlights have turned cloudy or yellow, get them sorted now, before your next test and before the evenings draw in.

FAQs

Will cloudy or yellowed headlights fail the NCT?

They definitely can. When lenses get hazy, they scatter the light beam instead of aiming it down the road. That leads to poor light output and incorrect beam focus. These two are the most common reasons that lead to cars failing the lighting check at the NCT. Restoring the lenses brings back proper beam patterns so you pass without hassle.

Expect it to take roughly 45 to 60 minutes for both headlights. We do not cut corners with quick surface wipes. We run through full wet-sanding, machine polishing, and sealing. But we still get you back on the road in under an hour.

You can expect 1 to 3 years of clear visibility. Because we lock in the finish with a UV-resistant sealant, rather than just buffing off the top layer of dirt, the plastic stays protected against sun damage and road oxidation long after we are done.

By a mile. Replacing modern headlight assemblies can easily run you anywhere from €150 to over €600 per side once you factor in parts and fitting. Professional restoration delivers crystal-clear results using your original factory units for a tiny fraction of that cost.

We cover all of Dublin and Meath. Whether you have an NCT deadline coming up or just want your night vision back, we can get your lenses sorted locally without hassle.
