Question 1

How much does headlight restoration cost in Perth?

Accepted Answer

At Shinelight, a single headlight is $100 AUD. The Standard pack (both headlights restored) is $120, and the Premium pack (both headlights + ceramic coating, up to 2 years protection) is $180. Add-ons for tail lights, fog lights, reflectors and badges are available on request.

Question 2

Is headlight restoration worth it compared to replacement?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Factory headlight assemblies typically cost $800–$2,500+ per side plus labour, while professional restoration at $120 restores the same clarity in about an hour. Restoration is the right choice unless the housing is cracked or the internal reflector is damaged.

Question 3

How long do restored headlights last?

Accepted Answer

Without ceramic coating, headlights typically start yellowing again at around 6 months. With our ceramic coating, that protection extends up to 2 years depending on sun exposure.

Question 4

Are professional results better than DIY headlight kits?

Accepted Answer

Significantly. DIY kits use hand-sanding and a wipe-on sealant that typically lasts 2–4 months and can introduce swirl marks. Professional wet sanding with a 2-step machine polish and ceramic coating delivers a deeper cut, factory-like clarity and multi-year durability.

Question 5

Do you come to my suburb in Perth?

Accepted Answer

We cover a 30km radius from Perth CBD at standard rates — Joondalup, Scarborough and Wanneroo in the north, through to Fremantle, Applecross and Rockingham in the south. Beyond 30km a small travel surcharge applies.

Question 6

Is driving with yellowed headlights unsafe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Oxidised headlights can reduce light output by up to 70%, dramatically shortening your visible range at night and in poor weather. Restoration restores light output to near-factory levels.
