So you can't see well at night and your driving around with cloudy headlights anyway?  Well it is a good thing that technology has busted through with a way to repair them without having to replace.  We have seen the "infomercials" about the do it yourself stuff and how they look to good to be true, yaddah, yaddah, yaddah.  Here's the truth about headlight cloudiness and why you should have them repaired by someone who actually knows what they are doing. 

First off, the outside elements, chemicals and age are to blame for turning you vehicles crystal clear peepers to headlights with cataracts.  A UV film is put on the headlights to keep this from happening, but, as with everything else, it will wear down, wash away etc, and you are left with the cloudy dirty looking headlights.  

There are plenty of kits sold at auto parts stores, variety stores, etc., however, after the money spent to purchase the supplies and the time to actually do the job, it may be worth calling a professional.  Most range in price from $30.00-$80.00.  It may seem a bit expensive, but it does depend on the vehicle and the damage that has to be removed.  

Hazy, cloudy headlights are big problem also for night time drivers.  According to The National Traffic and Safety Foundation, Department of Transportation (DOT), and  AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, this is quickly surpassing drunk driving accidents at night time.  

This is a quick fix and only takes a few minutes to correct the issue.  If you have an elderly parent, teen driver or you yourself think about the safety issue and get your headlights restored.  It is a whole lot cheaper than replacement and can help you see better too!
