Why do car headlights cloud up over time?

Plastic headlights cloud up and look horrible.

Stuff builds up on the outside of the lens and makes your headlights useless.

They turn cloudy white and yellow. What makes this happen?

Is there a way to prevent this?Why do car headlights cloud up over time?
Naturally occurring oxidation.

It forms on the external surface of the lens.

Use an acrylic lens restorer to remove the oxidation from the lens.

Pittman's Original One Step ALR is pure liquid safe and it works on contact.

Perfect for ladies.

You can clean a lens in about 60 seconds.
it is the build up of chemicals/pollution in the air - the condition starts to deteriorate over time, and is artificially accelerated by our weather conditions and the speed at which the air flows over the car.



Most car companies provide headlamp protectors that hook on under the bonnet to preserve the actual headlights underneath. Most dealerships do them for about 拢25, and when they start to cloud over, simply replace them.

this happens because of the elements in nature,rain,sun ect. and the gunk from the road. not sure if there is a way to completely prevent but you could try cleaning them every 3-4 days with something like Thunderblaster from Dollar General or Windex. Personally I use the Thunderblaster it works better.
from moisture build up in the lens it because the seal on the build socket is worn out and needs to be replace you can buy an anti fog solution to put on the inside of the lens to prevent this from happeningWhy do car headlights cloud up over time?
Plastic headlamp glass units have special bulbs. They are called Low UV bulbs and they are designed to stop the lens from clouding.

Most mechanics do not know about these bulbs and fit normal bulbs when replacing blown ones.

This will not solve your problem if the lights are already cloudy - Sorry.
