Review: Clear as glass again—Pro results in an hour (Winter tested) - My headlights were completely clouded over and oxidized, significantly reducing my visibility at night. I decided to try this kit before spending hundreds on new housings, and I’m glad I did. Complete Kit: This came with everything advertised. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. User Pro-Tip: While the kit is comprehensive, I highly recommend using a separate spray bottle with water for the wet sanding steps. Keeping the surface constantly lubricated makes the sanding much more effective and prevents the paper from loading up. Effort vs. Reward: It took about one hour to do both headlights. It definitely requires some "elbow grease" during the wet sanding stages, but don't rush it—the more effort you put into the prep, the better the final result. The Results & Durability: The transformation was night and day. The lenses went from hazy and yellow to crystal clear. Most importantly, it’s been three months since the application, and they still look brand new. It has held up perfectly through harsh winter driving (salt and slush) and several trips through the automatic car wash. Final Verdict: 5 Stars. If you’re willing to put in the manual labor for an hour, this kit will save you a fortune. The sealant actually lasts, which is the biggest factor.
Review: Headlights you thought you'd have to replace? Nope! This makes them like new. Really! - I own a seventeen-year-old Toyota Yaris hatchback (152,000+ miles), which has been parked outside in the sun and elements all of its life. I'd already had the headlights resurfaced (by the Toyota team) many years ago—but my headlights were, by this point in time, at the stage of not passing annual inspection. Replacing both headlight units at the dealership (including labor) would have cost in excess of $700, so I figured—why not try this, and see what happens! The results are really terrific. As "like new" as you're going to get with a seventeen-year-old car which is parked outside. Here would be my observations having just done this project this morning (without access to a hose, mind you!). The instructions are worth reading a couple of times before you take-on the project. It's, actually, a lot easier than the very detailed instructions might imply. Just go step by step, doing each step to both headlights before you move on to the next step, and you'll be fine. 1) Bring lots of water, and a spray bottle (as recommended in the instructions). I filled up some clean milk-cartons I'd saved for the project, and just refilled the spray bottle from those as needed. Super easy. I used about three milk-cartons of water (1.5 gallons). You'll need lots of water-spray as you sand with the provided grades of sandpaper. I would recommend starting (with the first grade of sandpaper) with light to medium pressure, then move to more consistent medium pressure. The second and third grades of sandpaper really are very smooth and fine, and you can finish-off the third grade of sandpaper with a really light pressure. Be patient, and go for a truly smooth surface. I did the recommended circular motions both clockwise, and counter-clockwise, to ensure the smoothest possible finish. Worked like a charm. 2) Regarding the activator spray (with which you will start and, toward the end, use again): I used about 2/3rds of the spray on the first stage (both headlights), dissolving the initial oxidation and grime. I feared I'd not have enough with just 1/3rd by the end, but I had plenty. I'd bring a soft sponge, too, just to ensure that you get the lenses fully clean between steps. I found having extra soft, clean rags helpful with drying as well. 3) Painter's tape definitely protects your paint around the headlight, so take the time to mask-out your light, and protect your paint. The only thing I'd suggest, is to spray-clean your paint-surface after your remove the painter's tape following use of the polishing compound. Some of the polishing compound gets under the tape, so just give that a rinse before you dry the lenses and apply the final UV gloss-coating. Keeps things neat and clean around the lenses. 4) As for the gloss-coating: you really can be very generous applying it to the provided blue-cloth. I was a tiny bit stingy on the first headlight, fearing I might not have enough product for the second headlight. Don't worry ... you'll have plenty of UV product left over when you're done. I'd really soak the entire blue-rag well, and apply generously. I can see a *very* tiny difference between the first headlight I did (where I was more stingy applying the UV gloss-coating) and the second (where I was more generous). It's so slight you'd never see it. Just rest assured that you'll have plenty of UV gloss by the end of the project, as it spreads evenly, smoothly, and well—so be generous in applying it. The best part? If I get any haze again, this was probably the easiest headlight-repair imaginable. I'll just do it again! And I saved about $700 to boot. You just need to set aside the time to do each step well and carefully. It took me perhaps an hour and a half from start to finish (and I was moving slowly and carefully), with some time thereafter cleaning up and just standing around to ensure no falling autumn leaves fell on the UV gloss while it was still wet. Just went to check on the headlights, and they're completely dry to the touch, and very smooth and glossy. This is a terrific product! Easy to use, great instructions, and a really fine result. I look forward to seeing the longevity of the product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long do the results last?**
A: I used this product for the first time in 2017 on my 11-year-old car because the lenses were so degraded it interfered with nighttime brightness and safety. I'm looking for a functional solution, a little fogging or cosmetic appearance doesn't matter to me. The car stored outside year round in Northern CA. The initial result made the lenses like new! There was some fogging after about a year. By my standards lasted about 3 years before degrading again to the point of needing to be redone.

**Q: How many lenses will the kit restore, and has anyone called for another kit using the Lifetime Warranty?**
A: I purchased 2 kits and had enough materials to easily do all 3 vehicles; probably could have done a 4th.It has been about 18 months since I did the first, and it still looks great.The final step, the Clear Coat, will harden in the opened bottle over time.I suggest using up the entire kit within 2-4 months.

**Q: Should you apply this product indoors or in the shade?**
A: It says to either apply in the shade or in an enclosed area. I applied it outside on an over cast day. An hour after I applied it the Sun came out. Two hours after that it rained. The application survived and I haven't had any problems even though my conditions were not advisable.

**Q: do you need a drill to use this kit?**
A: Hello Paula K,You do not need a drill to use the Headlight Restoration Kit. We have an online how to video if you have further questions before your purchase, as well as complete instructions within the kit. Hope we were able to help!The SYLVANIA Automotive Lighting Team

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent. REALLY WORKS!
*by M***Y on September 13, 2025*

I researched different products and this brand, Sylvania Headlight Restoration Kit, had the best reviews. (I paid about $23.) My headlights were pretty bad... foggy and significantly yellow. It took me about an hour and a half to complete the job. I was a little worried that I might mess it up, so I was pretty cautious and deliberate and took my time. (There are videos on YouTube showing how to use the kit, including one put out by Sylvania, but I actually found a video by a layperson to be more detailed and helpful.) I followed the directions, beginning by pre-washing the headlights to remove any foreign matter. (I used Dawn dishwashing liquid and a sponge.) I put painters tape around the headlights for some protection. First you spray the headlight with a surface activator, washing it off after 30 seconds. You then sand the headlights for 5 minutes while using each grade of sandpaper, starting with the corsist. Next, you apply a clarifying compound, rubbing it in for about 30 seconds and then washing it off. Lastly, you spray the surface activator once again, leaving it for 30 seconds, and then washing it off. You repeat the same steps on the other headlight. Once you've completed both and have washed and thoroughly DRIED them, you're ready for the final step which is to apply the UV Block Clear Coat. (The directions say that you should try to apply as thick a coat as possible for maximum protection, but not to repeat or reapply on treated areas. I found that rather difficult. I wonder if using a sponge would have been more helpful with putting on a thicker coat, rather than the cloth they provided.) I still had almost half the bottle left over when I finished, so I'm not sure how long or how well they will hold up. I'll have to update my review from time to time.) After completing the restoration, the directions say that they need to cure for 4 to 6 hours. During this time, they can't be exposed to moisture. So you have to make sure it's a nice day, (but don't do it in direct, strong sunlight or frigid temperatures), or do it in a garage or other covered area. I took these pictures just before, and then just after, I treated them. They'll need to cure overnight. I don't know if that will will improve or change their appearance. For the shape my headlights were in, I'm amazed and extremely happy at how clear they look. I'll just have to wait and see how long the clarity lasts. (The thinner layer of UV block might cause it oxidize and degrade more quickly.) I definitely recommend this product. I'm extremely happy with the end result.
