    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.

    Walked into the shop and was greeted by Shaw! 45min later walked out with a beautifully restored headlight! Shaw did a wonderful job, but more importantly he was very kind throughout the entire process! I highly recommend Vivid Headlight to anyone looking to restore their headlights like new! Thank you, Shaw!

    Repaired Right Light

    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.

    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.

    Oxidized headlights

    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.

    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!

    New headlight lenses
    Jeff M.

    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.

    UPDATE: Updating my review since the business owner…read moreobviously likes to respond to all his negative reviews to try and control the narrative - saying customers are lying, leaving false reviews, or weren't even customers to begin with. To start, the business owner is saying I lied about my experience and I was "belligerent" over them being late. He edited his response to me four different times (see emails). To address his original comments: 1.) "you provided two different numbers" -- this information is correct, however, the business owner ONLY used the primary one (just for clarification) and never contacted the other number throughout this experience. 2.) "over an hour before arrival, we informed you our technician would be running late" -- I wasn't contacted by anyone from this company until *I* reached out first, by this time, the technician was already late by 10 minutes. 3.) "we completed your full service including the engine bay detail, which we have clear photo evidence of" -- business owner offered free wash, wax, and engine bay cleaning due to being late - the wax was not done, or done poorly, and the engine bay was not cleaned, we were picking leaves out of it and its dusty, as you can see in the picture. 4.) "after the job was finished, we spoke directly" -- no? We didn't speak directly. I spoke to your technician and thanked him for his work and tipped him - but since he showed up late, we were pressed on time and needed to be on our way and didn't check the car throughly. 5.) "I still gave you a courtesy discount due to the delay" -- for clarification, no discount was given on the initial cost of the Interior Only detail. Only the offer of free services that were not completed, other than the wash. 6.) "you were belligerent over us arriving 30 minutes late, even though we had already let you know in advance that we were running behind and confirmed before booking that you had the entire day open." -- apparently, a customer being short and annoyed that your technician was running late with no notice isn't allowed lmao. If a woman says "hi." or "no, I don't want to cancel" is considered "belligerent", I suppose that's a whole other issue you have. Again, I wasn't told in advance that your technician would be late, and I never once said I had the entire day open. 7.) "Throughout the entire process, your behavior toward our team was distasteful and confrontational." -- when your technician arrived, I said hello, and politely asked him to move his car from blocking the driveway. That was the only interaction I had with him, aside from tipping him. We let him do his work and we sat in front of the house in the sun for about 20 minutes, on our property, several feet away from him. Overall, this company lacks professionalism and can't admit to being wrong. Cya
