Cloudy, yellowed or heavily oxidised headlights don't just spoil the appearance of your vehicle. They also reduce light output, making night driving less safe and increasing the likelihood of an MOT failure.

At On Track Detailing, we provide professional headlight restoration in Reading, Berkshire, using a multi-stage process that removes oxidation, UV damage and surface defects from plastic headlight lenses. Our restoration process dramatically improves clarity, restores the original appearance of your headlights and helps maximise light output without the expense of replacing complete headlight units.

Why Do Headlights Become Cloudy?

Modern polycarbonate headlight lenses are coated with a factory UV-resistant layer. Over time, sunlight, road salt, chemicals and weather gradually break down this coating, causing the lenses to become:

• Yellow
• Cloudy
• Milky
• Oxidised
• Dull
• Scratched

Not only does this make your vehicle look older, it also significantly reduces the amount of light reaching the road.

Avoid an MOT Failure

Poorly maintained headlights can result in an MOT failure if they are excessively deteriorated.

The MOT Inspection Manual states that a headlamp must be rejected if:

"A headlamp lens is so damaged or deteriorated that the light intensity is seriously reduced."

This is recorded under MOT Defect Code 4.1.4 (b) (i).

Restoring your headlights before your MOT can help improve light output, increase visibility and reduce the risk of failing due to deteriorated headlamp lenses.
