GET RID OF YOUR CAR'S CATARACT, CLOUDY AND HAZED HEADLIGHTS!

Headlights operate ordinarily without much problem but they can turn yellow and foggy without you noticing the change.  As a car is exposed to the elements, ultraviolet rays from the sun break down the external coating on the outside of headlight lenses and the ugliness sets in. Modern vehicles are plagued by these unsightly, clouded, and yellowing headlight lenses on an enormous scale.

Car headlight issues may seem small at the moment, but their implications for safety and performance are anything but insignificant.

When headlights become foggy and oxidized it affects the light output. The beam that should come from the headlight is weakened and will not cover as much ground in front of the automobile. That becomes a serious problem at night when vision is naturally reduced; the smaller lighted area is an invitation for accidents. The headlights need to be worked on for a further and clearer vision.

Clouded lenses can’t be simply cleaned with soap and water; they are cloudy because the plastic itself has been discolored and not just the surface.  

There are many rumours around for ‘quick fix’ repairs on your headlights. The most common is the myth that toothpaste is good for cleaning headlights. The truth is this method was used in the days of glass headlights, which toothpaste does actually clean without damaging. The fact is toothpaste abrasive, a minty one at that. You should not rub any abrasives on your headlights as you are wearing down the much-needed sealant that protects the polycarbonate lens.

Here are two well-proven solutions for your headlights' cataract:-

Taking care of the headlights is not something that should not be put off indefinitely. Anyone who is driving at night is aware of the dangers and safety hazardhazardshazard hazards of dim lights. Procrastination does have its price and you have to be aware of it. Making sure that there is no hazy obstruction to the light is a simple precaution and safety. It can save you from a nasty accident soon me dark stormy, rainy night.

After you have restored your headlights like new, if possible, the car should either be parked in a garage or have the headlights face away from the sun. This prevents the damage that can be caused by ultraviolet light.

Don't hesitate to restore your headlights if they're beginning to dim. It's only a matter of time until they dim to the point of becoming a safety hazard.
