FAQ's
How does your service work?
Local customers are welcome to visit our shop in the San Francisco Bay Area. If you're anywhere else, it's simple: remove your lights, pack them securely with good padding, mark the box "FRAGILE," and ship them to us with your contact information included. We'll confirm receipt and keep you updated throughout the project — we stay on top of our email.
What's the turnaround time?
It depends on the complexity of the project. Custom work typically takes 1–3 weeks.
What lights can you modify?
Most vehicles.
Can you build custom carbon fiber products?
Yes — contact us with details about your project.
Can I install it myself?
Absolutely. We've put together detailed installation guides with images and step-by-step instructions for professional shops and first-time installers alike. We're also here to guide you through the process if you need assistance — most of our customers are installing one of our products for the first time, and we aim to make it simple.
What's your paint quality like?
Our lights are finished with a professional two-component coating engineered specifically for this process — not a low-cost spray paint solution like some competitors use. We follow the coating manufacturer's specifications exactly. The finish resists power washing, polishing, and scratching. We use STANDOX and BASF paint systems.
A note on authenticity
Other sellers may try to pass off lower-quality products under our name. Genuine LightWurkz products are only available directly through us or our authorized vendors.
How should I maintain my lights?
Treat them the way you'd treat your vehicle's paint. The coating withstands mechanical and power washing and resists polishing and scratches. We recommend waxing the lenses monthly to maintain and protect the finish.
Will tinted lenses reduce visibility to other drivers?
Tinting will very slightly reduce visibility, similar to a brake light seen through tinted window glass — other drivers can still easily see your lights. If you'd like extra brightness, consider a higher-wattage bulb.
Why paint instead of vinyl film?
Vinyl film tends to peel, trap air bubbles beneath the surface, and lose its clear coat within a few months — especially with sun exposure or after repeated power washing. Painted finishes hold up significantly better over time.
Is painting the same as a lens cover?
No — and painting has real advantages. Some lens covers require drilling for mounting, and even the ones that use existing screw holes are visibly "added on." A painted finish looks original, because it is.
How do I care for my lights right after installation?
Give the coating about a month to fully cure before waxing — then wax to bring out the gloss and add an extra layer of protection. The finish is safe to power wash and polish; an electric buffer-polisher will not damage the clear coat.
Is there a warranty on customized headlight housings?
Yes, a 90-day warranty. Every project we work on is cleaned, sealed, and tested against leaks and condensation before it ships, so you receive a problem-free product.
Will I be notified when my item ships?
Yes — you'll receive an email with your tracking number.
Do you offer a discount on multiple sets?
Yes. Email us and we'll put together the best price for your order.
Do returning customers get a discount?
Yes — 10–25% off, depending on the product or service.
What if my package arrives damaged?
Note the condition of the box on the delivery receipt at the time of signature. If you discover damage after opening the package, notify the carrier immediately. We package every product with extreme care; however, it's the customer's responsibility to request insurance at the time of purchase. We're not able to cover uninsured shipments that arrive damaged — contact us if you'd like to add insurance to an order.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept most major payment types and are always evaluating new payment options to add.
Do you charge sales tax?
Yes, for California residents only. State tax is calculated automatically at checkout.
