Restoring a hazed pair runs $60 to $150 and takes 30 to 45 minutes. Damaged housings and bulbs are quoted separately. Ozone Park is twenty to twenty-five minutes from the shop, so this is a job most people add to a visit they are already making.

Salt does to headlight plastic roughly what it does to everything else out here, only more visibly. Brine spray off the Belt Parkway settles on the front of a parked car through the winter, dries there, and etches a fine texture into the lens surface. Layer that over the ordinary sun oxidation and you get lenses that are both yellowed and microscopically rough, which is why cars kept on this side of the borough often look worse in the beam pattern than their age would suggest.
Restoration deals with both at once, since both live in the outer layer of the plastic. We wet-sand through progressively finer grades until the damaged material is gone, polish the surface back to genuine clarity, then seal it against ultraviolet light so the cycle does not restart immediately. Bulbs get checked while the car is with us and the aim is reset afterwards. Where a lens is cracked or a housing is holding water rather than simply looking cloudy, we say so and quote the assembly, because on a salt-exposed car a compromised seal tends to get worse rather than better.
“In last two years I came there twice to replace Sienna's rear window and Chevy Express windshield. Both times they did a professional job. The price was much lower than here in Brooklyn, and replacement was done within 30 min, I definitely…”

Rinsing matters more here than most owners realize. A car that spends the winter within reach of the Belt Parkway accumulates salt on the lens surface, and if it is wiped dry or left to sit, the etching continues all season. A rinse with plain water after a run in bad weather is genuinely effective prevention, and it costs nothing. For lenses already gone, the restoration removes the etched layer entirely, which is why the improvement on a car from these blocks is usually more dramatic than on one kept inland. Since the drive up is twenty-five minutes, it is worth pairing with whatever else the car needs. Wash the front of the car after a storm and the lenses will thank you for it.

Headlight work is a shop job for us. It needs a controlled surface, proper sanding and polishing equipment, and somewhere the sealer can cure cleanly without wind carrying dust onto it. If the van is coming to you for glass, we would rather book the lenses for a shop visit than produce a rushed result in a driveway.
If they look noticeably yellow or milky in daylight, they are already costing you output at night. There is no need to wait until they are opaque. On the other hand, faint haze on a nearly new car is not worth the money yet. Bring the car by and we will give you a straight answer rather than selling you the job either way.
