Why Cloudy Headlights Are Dangerous at Night
How cloudy headlight lenses reduce visibility, what restoration can and cannot fix, and when to get help.
Cloudy plastic scatters light
Oxidized or yellowed lenses can reduce the useful light reaching the road and create glare. The problem is more noticeable on unlit roads and in rain.
Restoration has limits
A restoration can improve the outer lens surface when cloudiness is the issue. It will not fix a failed bulb, damaged housing, moisture inside the lamp, or an electrical fault.
Improve visibility before the next night drive
Wise Guys headlight restoration starts at $149. If a headlight is out, address the bulb or electrical issue before driving after dark.
