Headlight
restoration kit?
Seeing the cost of buying a
decent restoration kit & the
time it takes doing it
yourself not forgetting you
may burn through or make
your headlights even worse.
Its better & safer to leave
it to the experts.
Just
installed new headlight
bulbs & still cant see the
on coming road any ideas?
Check if your
headlamps outer lens are
clear. No matter which bulbs
you install if your lens are
cloudy & hazy it will act as
a barrier & the light will
not penetrate through the
lens.
My
new 2 year old car has
circles in the middle of the
headlight? Heat
from the bulbs will leave heat
circles
in the inside of
the headlights lens.
