Headlight restoration in Palm Harbor
Cloudy, yellowed lenses are what Florida sun does to plastic. Headlight restoration is done at 31425 US Highway 19 N, alongside the detailing work.
What a tired headlight looks like
It happens gradually, which is exactly why it is worth looking at your own car properly once in a while.
-
A yellow or amber cast
Lenses that have gone the color of weak tea. It happens slowly enough that most people stop noticing it on their own car.
-
A cloudy or milky surface
The lens looks hazy even when the car is clean, and washing it makes no difference at all.
-
Light that does not reach as far
The bulb is fine. The lens in front of it is scattering the beam before it gets down the road.
-
Fine crazing across the lens
A network of very small surface cracks, which is what years of sun does to the coating on the outside of the lens.
Bring it in and we will look at the lens
How far the damage has gone into the lens decides what is worth doing, and that is not a question anyone can answer from a photograph. Bring the vehicle to 31425 and you will get a straight answer about it.
Call (727) 787-9274 if you would rather describe it first.
Usually asked alongside

Frequently asked questions
Does Pelican do headlight restoration?
Yes. Headlight restoration is done at 31425 US Highway 19 N in Palm Harbor, alongside the detailing work. Call (727) 787-9274 or bring the vehicle in and we will look at the lenses.
Why do headlights go cloudy in Florida?
Sun. Modern lenses are plastic with a protective coating on the outside, and ultraviolet light breaks that coating down. A car parked outside here gets more of it than a car almost anywhere else.
Is this the same as detailing?
It is appearance work, so it sits with the detail side of the business at 31425 rather than with the mechanical shop next door.
