Headlight RestorationMartinsburg & The Panhandle

Cloudy, yellowed headlights cut your night visibility by more than half and make a clean car look ten years old. Dominick assesses each lens and works through the sanding and polishing stages it needs before applying premium UV protection. The result comes from the process, not a quick wipe-on product. Both lenses are priced by condition.

Headlight restoration FAQ

How much does headlight restoration cost?
Slums charges a flat, condition-based rate: $150 for faded lenses, $165 for yellowed lenses, and $185 for damaged or pitted lenses. That covers both headlights, and we come to you.
How long does headlight restoration take?
About an hour for most vehicles. You do not need to leave your home or office — we work in your driveway or parking space.
How long does the restoration last?
Two to three years with normal care. We finish with a UV-blocking protective coat, which is what prevents the oxidation from returning quickly.
Is restoration better than buying new headlights?
For most vehicles, yes. Replacement housings typically run $550–$800 plus installation at a dealer. Restoration achieves near-new clarity for a fraction of that.
Do you offer wholesale headlight restoration for dealers?
Yes — we offer a $100 flat wholesale rate for dealerships and used-car lots in the Eastern Panhandle. Call or text (813) 822-6368 to set up a lot schedule.
