Foggy headlights don’t just take away from the aesthetic appeal of your ride — they’re also a safety hazard. By reducing light output at night, yellowing headlights impair your seeing ability, putting you and everyone else in your car in danger
What Causes Foggy Headlights?
When you first buy a car, all its parts, including the headlights, are usually pleasantly shiny. A few months down the line, the once shiny headlights are replaced by foggy headlights due to:
Oxidation: A majority of modern cars feature polycarbonate plastic headlights. Unlike glass, polycarbonate plastic develops microscopic cracks that turn yellow when exposed to sunlight, eventually causing a cloudy or foggy headlight appearance
Time and Weather Conditions: Although polycarbonate plastic headlights are typically covered using a coating film, exposure to harsh weather conditions over a long time makes the coat peel off
Water vapor: Condensation trapped in your car’s lightbox is also a common culprit behind dulling headlights
Dirt and chemicals: If you’re always on the road, your car may develop a thin chemical and dirt layer, causing yellow headlights
