Disclosure: I received this product for free to review. The opinions in my review are honest and my own.
I will be completely honest with you guys, I don’t drive a newer car. My 2001 Honda Accord has had quite a bit of love over the years and it is my baby. My Accord was purchased in 2005 when I graduated from college and has been my faithful car to this day. It saw me through graduate school, multiple moves, and kept my family safe during monthly trips from Kentucky to New Jersey. It really isn’t too surprising that it is getting close to 200,000 miles and I’m proud that my old baby is still going strong. While I love my car, I do sometimes get new car envy, especially with how my car has been showing some age, including with its headlights. It is usually one of the best ways of telling an older car, especially with how the headlights have become oxidized and scratched due to use and time. Unfortunately, this issue is more than cosmetic since it will also distort and block light coming from your headlights, making it harder to see at night and during bad weather.
Even though I kept putting it off, I knew it was time that something was done about my headlights – either pay to have someone restore them, or get new ones. Neither of these options were exactly cheap. As I was researching and lookingat one of my favorite brand’s sites (HomeRight), I found out they had an automotive branch of their business – AutoRight – which sells a headlight restoration kit. Wanting to know more, I reached out to the company, who was delighted to have me review their restoration kit. Knowing I had nothing to lose and a lot to gain if it worked, I happily said yes and couldn’t wait to try out this kit!
AutoRight Headlight Restoration Kit: What Is It?
Want to make your headlights look like new and get rid of that cloudy, yellow film without paying $150 or more per headlight at your local shop? If so, we think you will love the AutoRight Headlight Restoration Kit! This spiffy kit revitalizes severely scratched and oxidized lenses, allowing you to have headlights that not only look beautiful, but are more effective at night and during hazardous weather. This kit works by using a dry and wet sanding process to polish and seal your headlights, getting rid of the oxidized layer of plastic and smoothing out scratches caused by regular driving. Best of all, this kit is very easy to use! All you do is attach the pieces to the AutoRight 4 Inch Cordless Polisher (sold separately) and you have awesome looking headlights after a half hour or so of work. After you have tried this kit, you will never pay to restore your headlights again!
AutoRight Headlight Restoration Kit: Overall
Okay, before I go any further, I have to say that the AutoRight Headlight Restoration Kit completely blew me out of the water. While I was excited about restoring my headlights, I didn’t have very high expectations. One of my brothers used another company’s kit years ago on his truck and while it improved the look of his headlights, they still looked clouded and far from like new. With how bad my headlights looked from constant highway driving I knew anything was better. In all honesty, I was expecting in the next few months to make a trip to the local junkyard in hopes of finding a more inexpensive option than getting them restored at our local Honda dealership. With the kit being only $25, what did we have to lose?
As you can see from the pictures, the transformation was pretty amazing. Not only did it get rid of the scuffs and oxidation, but left my headlights looking just as good as when my car was purchased ten years ago. Best of all, the kit was very easy to use. The hardest part was actually the waiting. All you do is buff the headlight using the different sanding pads, and then keep polishing until you have the desired clearness. With how bad my headlights were, it took about 30 – 40 minutes per headlight, and this is with my husband and I having no clue what we were doing. Luckily, we figured things out very quickly with the kit’s clear, easy to understand and accurate directions. Really, I couldn’t be happier with this kit and consider it such an amazing bargain for any car owner! I mean, who wouldn’t spend 20 – 40 minutes of their time to save over $200 (assuming $150 per headlight restore at the dealership)? With such amazing results, my husband and I both are delighted to give the AutoRight Headlight Restoration Kit an A+ rating!

This kit sounds terrific. I didn’t know they had headlight restoration kits. My husbands headlight just went out in his car, and he needed help to change that though.
Wow, love your before and after. That really shows how it works. I would love this we have a big truck, a tractor, and a trailer. All could benefit from this. 🙂
I am amazed at the difference. I *need* this kit for my new-to-me minivan. The headlights are completely hazed over. I cannot believe the difference between the before and after photos! WOW!
We bought our car from my in-laws and I swear they must have driven through sandstorms on a daily basis. This restoration kit is exactly what I’ve been searching for!
Wow!! It sure made a difference on your Honda Accord’s headlights…what an improvement! I’d love to give this a try on my Buick LaCrosse.
WOW! HUGE difference! I really need this for my vehicle. We got a Hyundai Santa Fe, 2004 model back in May, it was/is in TOP notch condition. The only problem was/is the tires and head lights. The vehicle runs like a brand new one! Only had 55k miles on it, The head lights are hazy but other than that I can NOT dare complain!! I’ve heard great things about this product, but never knew it would make that BIG of a difference!
We could really use this to fix some deer damage to the car.
We have had deer damage to our car. This would come in very handy for fixing it. This looks like just the tool and kit.
My Saturn Ion could use this. I am in the same situation as the reviewer either heading to the junkyard to find good ones or pay to have them restored. Would love to try this product.
I’ve never heard of such a thing and my car is a late 90’s model. It could really use this kit.
Amazing! I’ve been tried just about everything to get my headlights to look like the after picture. Love the results!
My fiance is constantly checking to see if the head lights are on at night because my Pathfinder’s headlights look worse than your before picture. It drives me nuts that he keeps turning the lights off and on. The oil change place wanted $60 to do them I had no idea I could do it myself.
I am currently driving a older vehicle that has one good headlight, and the other needs work. Thanks for the review on the AutoRight HeadLight Restoration Kit-looks like the product for my car!
Wow that’s a awesome difference!a And at $25 great price.
This would be great to have,my husband drives an old truck to work and restoring the headlights would sure brighten things up when he leaves for work at 6:30 a.m. and it’s staying dark out and getting dark earlier,being able to see while driving and this restoration kit would be amazing to spruce up the lighting.
i have seen this on tv. i wonder…does it work.
Oh, I gotta try this brand. I tried another brand of headlight cleaner but it didn’t work very good. I’ve had my car since 2006 and my headlight really need some cleaning!!
This was a great review. I am convinced that I need this for both of my vehicles. My car a 99 Taurus has one new lens due to an accident and 1 old cloudy lens. We have been wanting to get something to fix this.
I had the worst problem with my last car. Everytime I passed someone at night, they would high beam me because they thought I had mine on (which I didn’t). Then I went to get them fixed and after that all I saw was 3 feet in front of me. It was a nightmare!
My husband has been talking about getting something done about the headlights on both of our cars. This kit sounds amazing. I think it is just what we need. I love your before and after pictures – what a huge difference in clarity!
What a difference. I’ve seen this on t.v. and thought about ordering some.I wonder if it would work on eyeglass lenses too?
What a huge difference! Sounds easy enough to use, my car could really use this.
Wow! What a difference. I have heard about these kits but my husband said that he doubted if it would really work as stated. I can’t wait to show him this review. I also must say the price is right–I thought a kit like this would cost so much more. Thank you for this review and for enlightening us on its great benefits.
Really would love to try this-my daughter drives a 20yr old car and the headlights are awful at night!!
Soooo, is it bad that the little tool actually looks like it’d be fun to use? 🙂
we have a couple of older vehicles that would love to have clear vision.
This thing is awesome I can not wait to get one I have fingers and toes crossed
Looks like a long process, but my car could really use it!
Not long at all 🙂 Our were pretty bad so it took 30 – 40 minutes per headlight. For most people, ,the direction say only 20 minutes 🙂
This product looks great. I would love to use it on my car because my headlights are very dull looking.
This product sounds amazing!! I definitely hope t owin because my 12 year old Mazda could really use it!!
This looks awesome! Would be nice to have around.
You sure show a heck of a difference on the before and after shots. I have tried several on my wife’s G6 Pontaic to no avail and am on the edge of taking it to a professional and the best price to get the job done is at Wal-Mart. The only thing wrong is you pay no-matter how the job comes out.
My car is a 2006 model and my headlights are looking kind of dull. I am going to ask my oldest son to buy the kit and make my headlights bright once again.
My husband’s 13 year old car runs great – but the headlights are hazy! I would love to give him this for his car! On the other hand, my 14 year old truck doesn’t have hazy lights…… just saying!
We have been looking all over for a decent headlight brightener kit! This one looks like the best one we’ve ever seen. We’ve tried a few cheap ones but they didn’t do anything! I’ll keep my fingers crossed! 😉
This product sounds amazing! I have a touch of night blindness, so anything to help me see better when driving is great!!
I am amazed by your before and after pic. My ’93 Jeep is very cloudy and needs this desperately. But better yet we can use it for multiple vehicles.
My wife’s Trailblazer lights could really use this kit. I’ve been noticing over the past several months that they are getting worse and worse. There’s a video floating around on Facebook about clearing your headlights up with an old cotton sock and Repel insect repellent. I saw it and that afternoon tried it on my wife’s car. Like and idiot, I used about a half of a can of Repel trying to clean hers and just as I had figured, it was a crock. Her headlights aren’t any clearer than they were before but maybe at least with all that insect repellent, they won’t have bugs all over them anymore. LOL
My brother loves to restore old vehicles. This would be great for him. I unfortunately do not have a vehicle and take the bus. I will not restore the buses headlights….. LOL
We have a 2000 Nissan Maxima that could definitely use this!
I would love to use this on my husband’s truck! It is on the older side and needs this!
this product actually looks like it works! I need my headlights repaired.
This kit looks useful. It’s a good reminder to change my headlights!
We’ve always wanted to try one of these kits but were really skeptical. It’s good to see that a “real” person used this with great results. Now I want to try it on our car!
My old car could really use this. I work nights, so I need the lights both to and from work in the winter when the days are short.
Wow! This really made a difference. Think that I will give this a try — I was thinking my lights were too dim and this might help.
Wow what a difference it made for your car. I had tried another product without any luck so I gave up on trying it and just replaced the lights. Well next time I will be sure to try this brand first! Thanks for the great review!
I’d love to have this for my Toyota Corolla–my headlights never stay clean. I’ve tried many home remedies such as toothpaste to remove the residue, but it never works.
This would be perfect for my little car.
Wow ! The difference is amazing. This is what my husband need for his car as his headlights have turned really bad.

It seems like that at least one of our cars needs this kit.Would like to win this one.
This kit does a wonderful job and we have a car that needs it done!
This is a wonderful review …the product sounds like something we could really use.
Our headlights look a lot like your before picture. I had not known anything could be done for them. I get nervous driving at night, so I would appreciate anything that helps me see better.
This kit is awesome I am off to buy it in the morning need it so bad my lights looks sick..
