No BS...I highly recommend hiring Shaw. His wiring is as clean as it gets. My FJ looks stunning with the new lights. There were some known complications with the jimmy-rigged wired headlights that the previous owner had done but Shaw took care of it. He also made sure the headlights stayed snug as the old ones kept popping out. The price of his services was well worth it. 10/10 would recommend his services again. read more

I've had my headlights "restored" a couple of times at car wash places. Every time it would look a bit clearer but still yellow and hazy. But it would get cloudy faster than before. I almost gave up on getting my headlight restored and just replaced it with an aftermarket headlight on eBay. I found Shaw and he said getting a new headlight was not necessary. Less than an hour later, my car's headlight looked brand spankin' new. He also upgraded my lights to LED. Super cool guy. Well worth the price, trust me. Don't get your headlight restored at any car wash places. Come here and he'll take care of it. read more

I picked up a new old vehicle and the headlights were super dim. I found Shaw and he was great. We replaced the bulbs for LEDs and recleared the headlight covers. Looks brand new. I'm excited to try this out at night to see how much brighter it is. Shaw did not try to upsell me either which I appreciate. He mentioned he had LEDs and HIDs but advised for my specific vehicle that the LEDs were best. I would 100% utilize him again in the future. He is communicative, fast, friendly, and well priced. If you need any headlight services, he's your guy! read more

This review is a long-time coming. I contacted Shaw back in August 2025. It looked like a taller vehicle had backed into our car, causing some scratches on the hood of our car and cracking/breaking both protective headlight covers. I was afraid we would have to replace the headlights at the dealership which would've been exponentially expensive. I met up with Shaw and he said he'd be able to replace the headlight covers and save the existing headlights. I gave him a deposit. He ordered the covers. Once they arrived (one week later), he came to our house to remove the headlights to repair the damage at his shop. He returned another week later to reinstall the repaired lights, The lights looked completely brand new, like nothing had ever happened to them. In total, I would say it took a month from our initial meeting until he reinstalled the lights. It was so worth it to go with Vivid Headlights and Shaw! He definitely knows headlights and can repair them for a fraction of the cost of replacing them. read more

I was in need of a headlight restoration for our 11 year old minivan. Shaw was updating his shop when I stopped by but was able to work me in and the results are great. The headlights look brand new and we can see much better while driving at night. read more

Shaw is the best in the business! Brought Porsche headlight and they came back looking brand new ! Highly recommend vivid headlight corp!

Shaw is a very nice guy and punctual. He arrived on time and gave me options on the light bulb. I went with restoration for my headlights because the top coat came off. And I also changed my bulb to LED. It looks great, the total for restoration was $150, labor cost $100, and lights was $76-$80 I believe, I saved a couple bucks from the original estimate, Shaw chose the best one that fit my car for a better price (correction; I misheard him regarding the bulbs condition for the application, he carries different types of LED). My total was $336.19 instead of $340. He finished in 45 minutes, and gave me good advice on how to clean and keep my car from damaging. He's mobile, so I highly recommended if you're busy and can't take your car out, super convenient. read more

Shaw did an amazing job restoring my headlights. I used to get super annoyed by other drivers blinding headlights at night and envious at the same time. But now I have something equally good and this gives me the confidence to drive at night. I tried a lot of different things and nothing worked. I think I should have just gone straight to Shaw in the first place, that would have saved me a lot of energy and headaches. read more

Shaw was amazing and very professional. He gave me clear instructions and was able to get the oxidation off my headlights and replaced them to LED. Here are some before and after images of Shaw's magical work! He started work and finished in under an hour. read more

Shaw is friendly and did a great job polishing/resealing my headlight lenses and replacing the bulbs. Thanks, Shaw! read more

Very unprofessional. Paid $185 with the expressed promised that the shop owner would have the parts to fix my headlights. After degrading the work done by the previous LED custom fabrication contractor, he took my bumper off, told me my lights were not working and that he did not have to parts to fix it. I basically flushed $185 down the toilet while listening to this clown complain about the previous LED contractor's work. Avoid this guy. Works out of a white van and has you meet him in the parking of Target in Costa Mesa. Do not Zelle him any money upfront! Avoid making my mistake. read more

Vivid Headlight is very professional in handling their customers. You'll get text confirmations and invoices, which I appreciate when dealing with independent businesses. I had only one front headlight to be restored to match my newer headlight. When owner Shaw finished the job, both headlights looked brand new and shined bright. I was very satisfied in the quality of work and doing business with Vivid Headlight. read more

Shah provided top-tier service. Am thoroughly satisfied with the results. I had existing problems from previously shoddy work done, and Shah not only fully corrected these problems but made upgrades, and now the lights work better than ever. The work was done within a short period of time, and the cost was very reasonable. Highly recommended. read more

I was recommended by my sister to go to Shaw- Vivid Headlights, when I was searching for a reliable place to get a headlights restoration done on my car. I reached out to Shaw in Yelp and he got back to me quickly. I had a ton of questions, but Shaw was very patient and informative with me over the questions I had. After getting the reassurance I needed that my car will be in very good hands, Shaw helped me set my appointment and I went into his shop today! The before and after are not only very noticeable but absolutely beautiful! The price was very reasonable and I appreciate how honest he was about the pricing, the benefits that came with on getting a upgrade done on it, and about the work that went into the restoration of the headlights! I can now clearly see and drive in the dark without being scared to do so because of the fogginess appearance that my headlights once had for years! And that's all thanks to the incredible hands, talent, and hard- work of Shaw! I will definitely be returning to him and his shop when my car needs another headlight restoration done on it! Thank you so much Shaw I highly appreciate it! read more

Vivid Headlight is very professional and provides great customer service. I reached out for a quote and received a response with a few options expeditiously. Shaw was great and restored my foggy headlight casings and installed new headlight bulbs. He worked with me in consideration of my budget and offered several different options for me to choose from regarding headlight bulbs. My headlights are much brighter and the clear headlight covers on my car look brand new and no longer foggy. Highly recommend. Thank you, Shaw! read more

Excellent work on my 2017 911S. The best way to fix the "crazing" on my Porsche lenses was replacement. Porsche does not sell new lenses but Shah was able to perfectly install new aftermarket lenses. This is a very precise job as these are not meant to be taken apart. Porsche's solution is buying 2 new headlights at ~$4000 each! Not including install. Shah did the entire job which entailed removing front bumper to get headlights out. I highly recommend his work. He's very meticulous and very careful. read more

After purchasing a Z-flash headlight kit for my work truck, I realized that the install was dramatically more complex than advertised. I called 2 automotive electric shops and a few auto accessory shops, and none of them were willing to try to install the kit. I happened to pass a Vivid Headlights vehicle on my drive, so I called Shaw. He took the time to research the product and vehicle, instead of just making a rash judgement before telling me "Yes! I can install that" Shaw was polite, professional, and fairly priced. Next time I need any electric accessory added to my vehicles, he's gonna be my first call. read more

The very BEST! A no brainer to restore and update your headlight bulbs. Shaw knew exactly what my vehicle needed and completely transformed my headlights. Don't look any further, you found the very best! read more

the left headlight on my 2019 Lincoln MKZ went out. i took it to the dealer, who informed me it would cost $2900 to fix because the entire headlight assembly had to be replaced along with removing the bumper. i talked to a private general mechanic and was told it would cost $695. i talked to a second general mechanic who said it would be $2300, since the entire headlight assembly had to be replaced. I saw Vivid's ad for being headlight specialists, called and got a bid for $475. Shaw came to my house and said the right headlight was wearing out and offered to replace both for $500. He replaced the headlights in my driveway with admirable efficiency. i talked with him and was impressed with his directness and honesty. It is refreshing to find that there are really first class auto repairmen left in So Cal; it is such a change! i offer the highest recommendation possible. read more

You guys... when I say this is too good to be true.. this is the ONE thing that is true. Shaw blew my mind with his work. 1. He's mobile so he came up fm the OC to the LBC. Cool option!! 2. He had an opening the same week I called for a quote. 3. Boy did he works HARD on my busted up Mercedes ML350 SUV that is my baby!! I bought that car when I "made it" as a professional and its a 2009 yet looks easily only about 4-5yrs old. Shaw super professional, hard working, very passionate about what he does and he is amazing at it. 250.00 was the cost to get both my lights back to NEW. Mind you my lights were in BAD UV damage status. I park my car outside for over 10yrs. It was also getting very dull and dangerous to drive at night because the lights were so frosty. Buying new lights to replace would have costed me hundreds more easily. If you are on the fence do it with Shaw! If you feel like you can do this yourself you CANNOT. Not to this level! I did the amazon kit and super sucked at it.. Really great work, money well spent. If you recorded my reaction when I saw the finished work it was something out of an informercial. My jaw literally hit the floor. My son came home and thought they installed NEW lights. Yes it was that good. Blew my mind. read more

Amazing quality and service! Top level communication and availability. Don't hesitate with Vivid Headlight.

Yashar is a true professional and man of his word. I had a very challenging job installing custom headlights and foglights on an older truck with electrical problems. I took the vehicle to several shops and they wasted my time and failed. If you have any lighting issue, save your money and time and call Yashar right away, he won't give you false promises and will be straight with you as a master in his craft. read more

The Headlight Guru......Shaw is the owner and takes pride in making sure you are happy with the headlight results ....Shaw has worked on two of my cars...One needed headlight restoration and LED BULB upgrade....Wow,,,,,What a brightness difference. !!!! He also upgraded my other car with new Fog Light LED BULBS... Again, What A Brightness Difference !!!!! There is a reason for all the 5 Star Ratings.... read more

Vivid headlight is one of my favorite companies I trust when it comes to wiring for my truck. I've used them twice and they have never failed me. I had to wire a third brake light on my new smart cap and it was a very difficult task. Hiding it was hard and they managed to make it look great. They also helped clean my battery because of some damage. I will always come to vivid for any of my lighting/wiring needs! read more

Shaw was super responsive to my inquiry about installing after market headlights I bought online for my older Honda Civic. He was quick to make an appointment, came to my work and installed the new headlights in less than an hour. And his price was reasonable. He really knew what he was doing. He suggested LED bulbs and I'm so glad I took his advice. I can see at night again! I'd recommend him to everyone ready to get rid of their fogged out headlights. I only wish I'd known about his company sooner. read more

Absolutely incredible experience with Vivid Headlights! Shaw went above and beyond to make sure I got the best price possible for my headlight replacement. He gave me a few different options and gave me his honest opinion on what he felt was best for my situation with zero pressure. Not only that but he upgraded my fog lights to an even better set and didn't charge me any extra for the labor. You can tell he genuinely cares about his work and his customers. Super professional, honest, and knowledgeable. My car headlights look and perform great now. I highly recommend Vivid Headlights to anyone looking for elite service and real customer care! read more

The best service I have had on a car build. I have been working on my daughters 2006 Acura TL and was looking to get the front end restored. I reached out to Vivid Headlights over Yelp and they responded the same day. I was set for an appointment and drove from Los Angeles to Huntington Beach for the service. The works speaks for itself. I highly recommend their service and conversation if you are a car guy like myself. I was quoted $1000.00 on new lights. I saved $750.00 by getting the lights re-conditioned, replacing HID (super-bright) bulbs and adding the clear coat. The Acura build would not look the same without Team Vivid Headlight!!! read more

More than two years later! I wanted to provide an update on the quality of the work. I took this photo this morning more than two years after my headlights were done. My vehicle is never garaged and is frequently exposed to snow and ice in the winter and as you can see, it looks as good today as it did the day it was done ! I highly recommend Shaw if you need this kind of work done. read more

Shaw was super responsive to my questions and got my damaged headlight out and replaced with a used one. He made sure the used headlight was in tip top shape by restoring it and it looks like new! Prices are reasonable and Shaw is an honest dude. If ever I need headlight work done, I will be calling him again. read more

I highly recommend Vivid Headlight and Shaw....he did an amazing job on my very difficult previous headlight repair that failed. Shaw was on-time, professional and efficient. No one else would touch my headlight wiring because it was such a mess and a big liability but Shaw came to my house and reassured me he could fix my headlights and prepared to do the research needed to find the appropriate parts in a timely manner. I am so grateful that I could find an honest headlight repair person after having such a bad experience with the previous repair shop. THANK YOU!! Shaw you're a headlight magician. read more

Needed my running light wired, did the job well but insisted my headlights weren't bright enough and needed to be "upgraded"I understand he was looking out for me but I was clear that the headlights are fine the way they are don't need to be brighter because they are 100% legal. It's not his concern if my headlights are tinted. Good service but he tried to fork out an extra $150 to "upgrade" my headlights on the spot. Overall the service was good and fast but he tried to sell me on stuff I didn't need which is not acceptable at all. If I want cheap headlights for cosmetic purposes it's not anybodies concern about their functionality compared to what they would prefer. It's funny too because he was chewing my LED headlights out for being inexpensive while his car had a taillight out lol. read more

Amazing job. My headlights are so so much brighter. They removed oxidation and put in new bulbs in my 2017 Honda Pilot. I thought by night vision was getting bad. It was just my headlights that had gone bad. I'm so happy with the result! read more

I am so glad this company was recommended to me!! Shaw is one of the few honest mechanics around and fixed a lot of the shortcuts that previous mechanics did to my headlights/overcharged me for. His headlight restoration services are fantastic as well- my headlights were SO dirty and cloudy but after he cleaned them, they look brand new! I was also so surprised how amazing and fair his prices are, especially for a mobile service! It is incredibly convenient that he comes to you and booking was sooo easy as I was able to book something for the next day. His customer service is also fantastic and he was so helpful in explaining some other components about my car. Highly recommend this company!! read more

Vivid Headlight - Headlights look brand new! Wish I had a before photo because it's a huge difference. - Auto Detailing Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Shaw was very professional and his work is excellent! My wife's car's standard halogen headlights weren't great for visibility and we were looking for something that would be much brighter for her safety. Shaw gave great options and explained what we could do. He ended up doing an HID conversion on her headlights and an LED fog light conversion. The result is a night and day difference, it's way better than it was before. We were very pleased with his service and would strongly recommend for lighting work! read more

Shaw is awesome! He was on time, responsive, honest and very well priced. Would definitely use his services for headlights again.

I saw Shaw's van getting off the freeway in Mission Viejo, and I needed some headlight work done. I made a quick mental note of the business name and called a few days later. The communication was quick and prompt, and and the day of the appointment, he showed up a few minutes early, and got down to business. He kept me informed through the process and worked on the car in my driveway while I was working in my office. He installed new LED bulbs that I supplied, and restored the lenses. The results are REALLY good - the car looks better for it and I feel a little safer on the road at night because of the enhanced performance of the lights. If you need some headlight work, no need to search any further, THIS IS YOUR GUY. read more
