Headlight Restoration - New England

Rhode Island based, Mobile Headlight Restoration Specialist, Auto Eye Care (contact info below) took care of my E53 this weekend

It not only looks new, but I can actually see way better at night (sealed and guaranteed for 1 year).

Highly recommended for all you New Englanders!

RB, thanks!

lhordmclain, I would encourage you to reach out (if you haven't already) to the owner (using the contact info in my post above) for pricing. It's quite reasonable in comparison to buying new headlights

Wow this looks great!

I'm going to have to try doing this at some point.

awesome job!

I have done this a few times, it's so hard to get it perfect (having OCD doesn't help).

If you don't get out all the scratches you put in during the early stages of sanding, you won't notice until right at the final stage - meaning to get those scratches out you need to go back to the start and work your way up. It can be very frustrating, and if you don't get it right can actually make it look worse, especially once the lights are turned on at night.

These guys look like pros.
