Headlight Restoration in Baton Rouge, LA
Louisiana's UV index is one of the highest in the country, and it yellows and clouds polycarbonate headlight lenses faster than almost any other state. Foggy headlights can reduce nighttime light output by up to 80%, which directly impacts how far ahead you can see on dark Baton Rouge backroads and highways. Replacing a pair of OEM headlight assemblies often runs $400–$1,500 per side. AV Detailing's professional headlight restoration sands away the oxidized layer, compounds and polishes the lens back to optical clarity, and seals it with a UV-resistant coating that lasts. The result is full brightness restored at a fraction of replacement cost. According to NHTSA, headlight performance is a recognized safety factor, and the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles requires functional, unobstructed headlights for Louisiana vehicle inspections.
