Over the past decade, most car manufacturers, including Porsche, Mercedes, Jaguar, Volkswagen, and Audi, have transitioned to using plastic headlights. Today’s headlight lenses are made from polycarbonate plastic, which is both impact-resistant and easily molded into specific shapes. However, the headlight lens coating used by manufacturers starts to wear out after a few years due to exposure to harsh UV rays, car exhaust fumes, extreme temperatures, and road debris. This wear and tear can cause the lens to appear cloudy and foggy, giving it an oxidized look.
In addition to discoloration, the deterioration of headlight lenses results in scratches, pits, and a gritty texture, all of which inhibit the light output necessary for safe night driving. Many drivers are unaware that cloudy or worn headlights not only look unsightly but also reduce light output by as much as 90%. This significant reduction in light can drastically impact your ability to see and be seen when driving at night, posing a serious safety hazard.
