Headlight Restoration in Fredericksburg, VA

When you think of Huber Collision Center, you probably think of body work, no matter how big or small. And you’d be right, “collision” is in our name after all. But we actually offer other services too, and one of those is headlight restoration. You know how sometimes your headlights get that foggy appearance that just looks nasty. Well, our expert team at Huber Collision Center can clean that up for you.

Why Do Headlights Get Foggy?

This is a great question with a simple answer: the sun. You see, your headlights are made of acrylic, and acrylic oxidizes when it’s exposed to UV rays. As we all know from every bottle of sunscreen we’ve ever laid our eyes on, that means the sun. Manufacturers these days put a protective coating on your headlights to guard against this, but it wears off over time. In other words, eventually, you end up with that yellow fog on your lights.

The Dangers of Foggy Headlights

Foggy headlights can make it harder for you to see. Not only that, but it makes it harder for other cars and pedestrians to see you. In fact, according to a report from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, you can lower your risk of a car accident by as much as 20 percent with clean headlights.

Beware of DIY solutions.

Sure, they can be tempting, but in this case, leave it to our professionals. The solutions you find online such as using bug spray will only be a band aid and may even serve to harm your vehicle. That’s right, these “cleansers” (we use the term loosely) wash away rather quickly. They can damage your car’s paint job and the yellow fog soon returns.
