Headlight Restore receive many enquiries regarding VW Golf ‘micro cracks’ or ‘crazed’ lens Headlight Restoration. A common issue Headlight Restore often come across with our customers is with VW Golf, (in particularly the Mk7 model) VW Amarok, certain Audi and Mercedes models.
On these models and other brands of vehicles the lens begins to crack or ‘craze’ after approximately 5 years in UV rays. When driving at night, the crazing to the lens looks more prominent. Not only does this impact the aesthetics of the vehicle, this also inhibits light output which can be a safety issue for night driving.
At Headlight Restore we can repair VW Golf Cracked or Crazed lenses to as new with our 3-year warranty. We also recoat the lens with a long lasting sprayed-on UV protective hard coat to ensure your headlights will last years without discolouration and to prevent any further ‘crazing’ of the lens. For more information on our UV protective hard coat visit here.
To buy genuine replacement headlights for VW Golf, each headlight retails at approximately between $450 each approximately for a standard Golf and upwards of $2000 each approximately for the Golf Gti models. Then fitting costs to add on top of the cost of the replacement headlights. We also find that aftermarket headlights don’t last and need restoring after a year or so as the clear coat begins to peel.
