If you can’t see the road as well at night as you used to, your headlights are probably oxidized. A truly startling percentage of the cars on the road suffer from headlight oxidation. Headlights with medium oxidation can cut light output by over 50%, which creates a very hazardous condition for driving at night. Severely oxidized headlights can cut up to 80% of light from escaping the lenses! Not only a danger, they also make potentially nice looking cars look old, decrepit, and less valuable.

The sun is your headlights worst enemy. Over time, grime, sand, and water pelt your headlights relentlessly while the sun slowly bakes them from above. To top it all off, they are subject to quick changes in temperature ranging from below zero degrees to well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. These violent conditions cause your headlights to oxidize and become cloudy, yellow, and opaque.
