Cloudy, yellowed headlights aren't just an aesthetic issue—they're a serious safety hazard. Professional headlight restoration can restore clarity and dramatically improve nighttime visibility.

The Problem with Foggy Headlights

Modern headlight lenses are made from polycarbonate plastic, which is durable but susceptible to UV damage. Over time, exposure to sunlight causes oxidation, creating a hazy yellow film that can reduce light output by up to 80%.

Safety Warning

Foggy headlights can reduce your visibility by more than half, making it dangerous to drive at night or in poor weather conditions. They also make it harder for other drivers to see you, increasing accident risk.

Signs You Need Headlight Restoration

  • Yellowing or browning of the lens
  • Cloudy or hazy appearance
  • Reduced brightness at night
  • Difficulty seeing the road clearly
  • Your car looking older than it is
