Made our headlights worse!
on December 16, 2024
Posted by: Douglas
from San Diego, CA, USA
After spending ~2 hours on two vehicles following the instructions (both written and video) from the company, the results of the effort can be seen in my photos. The lenses of the headlights are cloudy; but what's worse is that the cloudiness is inconsistent across the lenses. This product made the situation worse! I shudder to find out what terrible effect this result has on the light beam of my headlights. DO NOT PURCHASE!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I had doubts going in, but the results were incredible. It involves some work, but worth the effort and the price.

Cleared up headlights like a charm. It took some time to complete but well worth it.

Instructions are too small to read.
on November 14, 2024

from Tampa, FL
The instructions are printed on a postage stamp-sized paper insert. There is a website where they say directions/instructions exist that can be read. Unfortunately, the website is written in an even smaller type and is italicized.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

o Thank you for contacting us. We appreciate your feedback as we strive to be the go-to for customers' automotive needs. If you go online to sylvania-automotive.com, click on the option at the top of the page that says "Accessories and kits", when you click on the Headlight Restoration Kit and scroll down, there is a How-To video to watch if you prefer that to trying to read the fine print. I apologize for any inconvenience.

The headlamp appears to be very foggy after the treatment

The headlamp is very foggy after the treatment. It does not reflect to what it is describing in the kit. The lense is very unclear after the application. I am not satisfied with the product.

Used on Toyota Camry, worked perfectly, lamps look new

Sanding the lamps is the most time-consuming process. I recommend adding something to hold the sandpaper. This would make sanding take only a couple of minutes and reduce the time from one hour to 20 minutes.

I would certainly buy this Sylvania restoration kit again.

I used the product just as the directions were written. Not the easiest process, it took about 4 hours to complete both headlights but making sure I followed the instructions to the tee. The results were remarkable.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great results with a little elbow grease
on August 20, 2024
Posted by: Nick
from Fort Wayne, IN
I used the product on my son's 2015 Corolla. Results were great. The headlight lens still had a little cloudiness but clarity was much better. I would recommend watching the video before and read directions carefully. I would use a foam pad for final polishing next time instead on paper cloth in kit. Hopefully it lasts a long time.
I would recommend this to a friend!
