Have your headlights started looking yellow, cloudy or faded?
Before spending hundreds of dollars replacing them, headlight restoration may be worth considering.
Why do headlights become cloudy?
Most modern headlights have plastic lenses.
Over time they're exposed to:
- New Zealand's strong UV
- Road grime
- Weather
- Dirt and debris
- Washing chemicals
- General wear
Eventually, the protective surface of the lens can deteriorate, leaving the headlights looking dull or yellow.
It's not only about appearance
Cloudy headlights can reduce the amount of light passing through the lens.
Restoring the lens can therefore improve the appearance of the vehicle while also helping the headlights perform as intended.
Restoration vs replacement
If the headlight itself is damaged, cracked or has an internal problem, replacement may still be required.
But if the main problem is oxidation and cloudiness on the outside of the lens, restoration can be a much more affordable option.
