You know it’s important to be able to see and be seen but that isn’t always as easy as it sounds. Over the years cars have adopted plastic headlamps that blend with the car’s styling. They look great but after a few years their plastic lens becomes hazy and scratched. This reduces light output making night driving hazardous. Rather than spend big bucks to replace your headlamps use convertible top plastic window cleaner to polish away the haze and scratches. There are also special products like the one shown on the left which can Improve the clarity of cloudy headlights. Some vehicles have lens covers for improved driving safety! Most vehicles now have a protective, transparent, plastic lens covering the headlights. These lenses protect expensive lamps from flying stones and road debris but will discolor over time. When these lenses become opaque and cloudy, they severely restrict the amount of light reaching the road which makes night driving dangerous. This clouding is caused by accumulated exposure to ultraviolet light. If you live in a southern state, this discoloration can become noticeable in as little as 2 years. By using these products often(be sure to follow instructions on each indivual product for frequency of application)you will keep your headlight lenses from turning opaque!
