Yashar Shaw is a rare breed. He's so passionate about his craft and reminded me about the 'Soup Nazi" on Seinfeld. He knows his automotive lighting and it's refreshing to have met someone who cares about your vehicle. If and when I need to address another lighting issue for my vehicles I will definitely call on Yashar without hesitation. I didn't really check on any other repair facilities to get alternate quotes but I was satisfied for what I paid and thrilled to be able to see the road again with functioning headlights! read more

My cars headlights were in desperate need of repair. I had gotten my headlights installed by a friend who said he had installed headlights before. Apparently, he wasn't as knowledgeable as Shaw. The lights stopped working after a couple of weeks, and I needed it fixed fast. I called up Shaw and told him my situation. He was on it. Talking to him over the phone and texting, I immediately knew I wanted to go with him. He is very knowledgeable and seems like an honest guy. He came by and fixed everything. The wiring was a mess, but Shaw was able to clean it up. It looked very professional. Overall, I am super happy to go with him and have no complaints. read more

Yashar was very accommodating and was able to meet within the same day to fix and upgrade our headlights. I love that he was not pushy at all or try to up-sell anything. Great quality in work also. I highly recommend him read more

Vivid did a great job honoring their headlight resto warranty and they look 100% back to factory fresh. Thanks again Shaw!

Shaw is a true professional and has mastered his skills. Within seconds he knew what was wrong, provided a fair and reasonable quote to fix it and within 30 minutes it was done! Well worth the cost! read more

Shaw does incredible work and I highly recommend him to anyone that requires headlight restoration! He was punctual, professional and communicated everything in a clear and concise manner. I had recently purchased an older vehicle that had front end issues and horrible oxidation on both halogen headlights and one of the fog lights. Shaw was initially booked to restore them, but when he saw the damage and condition they were in, he gave me his recommendation to replace to new headlights and upgrade with HID conversion of lights and LED fog lights. The light output on the old halogen bulbs were horrible and it was dangerous to drive at night. Once I paid the deposit, Shaw took care of everything. He ordered the parts and we re-booked a new installation day. He called me 30 mins before arriving and got to work. He replaced the headlights, installed HID conversion kit and LED fogs, and also repaired the front lip and did his best to realign the bumper and quarter panel (damage from previous owner). I'm extremely happy with how it turned out and incredibly grateful with Shaw's workmanship. Don't hesitate to reach out to him, he will answer you honestly and his work speaks for itself. Thank you, Shaw! read more

Only about 1hr and 30 min, and they came out looking right out of the factory! Thank you so much! Just look at the before and after pictures! read more

Thank you so much for doing an amazing job on my traverse. Found him on yelp so I decided to contact him to fix my break lights because my local jiffy lube didn't specialize in fixing them (they had no clue on electrical diagnosis, as it turns out) He is so handy and honest! he was able to fix my fog lights that had fallen when a tire hit my car! I thought I needed a replacement but he snap it right in! Others will ask you to pay $$$ and lie on what you need just to make a quick buck. He was also able to fix my falling apart license plate hanging by one screw. He took his drill and drilled in new holes and new screws. The way I see it he went on and beyond what I needed and I really appreciate the detail. Also did a freaking amazing job with my headlight restoration! They look brand new I didn't take a before but they where yellow and full of buildup scum and now they look like I got new ones put in If you are looking for an honest , trustworthy person in the industry for headlight restoration and anything electrical look no further. As a woman it is very easy to be taken advantage of because most of us have no clue. He's price's are Reasonable and fair. read more

Got my headlights restored and replaced! Shawn was very knowledgeable. Was very satisfied with the scheduling process and he was very punctual. Will definitely come back for my future headlight restoration and headlight replacement. read more

Shaw did amazing work on my headlights. I have an older 2009 car that had bad oxidation. I had my headlights restored before a few years ago and it did not last very long. So I went to Google to search for another person to help and Shaw did exceptional work. While doing the work he had noticed that whoever had done my restoration a few years ago basically did it wrong and made the oxidation worse a few months later. He was able to buff it all off and now they look brand new! Not only that, but he even fixed the broken clip on the right side of my bumper!! When the clip broke over 10 years ago I was told by multiple people that the whole bumper had to be replaced to fix it. Meanwhile, Shaw fixed it without having to do that, saving me a ton of money. Shaw is so nice and explains everything very well. I will definitely recommend him to people in the area. Thanks again, Shaw! read more

Shaw is worth it to do your headlights. I personally got headlight restore and he gave his knowledge on what to upgrade to and such. He taken a normally a 2 hours to maybe 3 hours install to 1 hour and a half. I am estimating here, but it shows that he knows his work and experience. read more

Shawn is top shelf. He was prompt, fair and did an amazing job on restoring the 20 year old headlights on my Porsche. I wholeheartedly recommend Vivid Headlight read more

I contacted vivid headlight for a headlight and front emblem restoration. We meet at a Target parking lot where he performed the restoration. The restoration turned out great, and he does great work. Obviously, we are still outside and not in a vacuumed area, so dust and debris is still flying around. Unfortunately, one of my headlights had a piece of hair that embedded into the clear coat. Shaw said it was no problem and promptly booked me to correct the headlight free of charge, which he did. Definitely reccomend! read more

Shaw was very responsive and knowledgeable. I gave him a call and he was able to schedule an appointment within 48 hours. He arrived promptly at my home at the scheduled time and diagnosed the issues with my HID system within 10 minutes.

Thank you again, will definitely be recommending Vivid Headlight to friends and family for any headlight needs. read more

I highly recommend Shaw! I went to another mechanic that told me I need to replace the headlight ballasts plus he over charged me and didn't even fix the issue. Shaw showed me that I just needed new bulbs and he did it for a very reasonable price. He's one of the honest mechanics you could trust. Not trying to scam you out of your money. If you have any light problems I would definitely go to him. read more

Vivid Headlight - Love my headlight and fog light restoration by Vivid Headlights on my 750LI. Exceptional customer service. I highly recommend! - Auto Detailing Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I have a Dodge Challenger SRT8 and it has Xenon headlights that are so difficult to change the bulbs I can't do it myself. When Vivid came to look at my headlight because it was out after just 2 years being replaced He was able to diagnose the problem and it was going to be a big job taking off the front bumper cover to take the headlight out. I didn't want to do it because I know it is not easy so I got the bulb and ignition wire to do it myself and then discovered I asked for the shorter wire and I was wrong . I had my car torn apart and needed the longer wire so I called and he had me come by to swap out the wire for me, I was borrowing my daughter's Jetta and I didn't have GPS connection and got lost, I was guided while on the phone by him and it was really nice to see they really care about their clients. Got home and plugged in the new wire and it lit right up! I highly recommend this company for all your automotive lighting needs. read more

I have to say this was money well spent. My lenses were yellow and I couldn't see the street at night in front of me. Now I'm illuminating street signs over 100 yards away. I replaced my lights with the HID lights and Shaw restored my yellow lenses. He knows what he is doing and not only are my lights clean and looking brand new, but he did an amazing job with the wiring. I will never let anyone else work on my lights from now on. read more

I set up an appointment and vivid confirmed through text and phone call. On the day of the appointment rep/person calls me he is running late and he will be here couple minutes later. After some time he calls me back that he will charge me more if i want him to come out here because he is located in the OC and with traffic it was gonna be a 45 min drive but on the reservation he had my address, so i dont understand why callback saying he need to charge more, it sounded like he just wanted me to decline his services because was trying to charge way too much for a headlight restoration, when i provided him with photos and details on headlight on the original quote. To me it sounded like he was trying avoid coming out here. read more

Shaw is quick, professional, accountable, and an overall cool guy. I'm blown away at what a difference the restoration + new beams can do! I feel like I'm driving with high beams on all the time now and also now realize I've basically been driving blind lol! Highly recommend and will hire him again for my wife's car very soon :D read more

Highly recommended! Shaw did an amazing job bringing my faded and yellowing headlights back to life. Professional and meticulous. Went above and beyond to make sure the job was perfect. I thought that the headlights were too far gone to be saved, but I decided to give Vivid Headlight a try before giving in and buying a new set. Wow....so glad that I did. The lights look brand new work much better driving at night. Thanks to Shaw for the great service and great results. Will definitely be calling again when I have another car to do. read more

There's nothing better than an honest craftsperson who delivers on their promise. 1) Shaw gave me an appointment time and was prompt. 2) He went over his multistep process and pointed out specific items that may or may not be resolved in the restoration. He did not oversell or overpromise. 3) He completed the work and charged exactly as estimated. 4) My headlights look as if I just drove the car off of the showroom floor. That, despite the fact that it is an 8 year old Mazda that has been parked outside for most of its life. Amazing restoration. Highly recommended. read more

It has been over a year since they installed my HIDs so this review is long overdue. Shaw was extremely professional in coming over to my residence and explaining the entire process. During the installation, he had some difficulties due to my vehicle being a newer model so he had to upgrade some equipment - and he did this at no additional cost than what was initially quoted. Really appreciated his professionalism and sticking to his initial quote rather than adding on additional costs. I will definitely come back to Shaw for future installations. read more
