The most aggravating things to deal with
is foggy headlights. That inescapable
film of condensation on your headlights that causes you to step back and
examine why your beautiful car, has been somewhat tainted by blurry headlights
you can’t wipe to get rid of. At our
dealership, we make it easy for our customers to come in and let us take care
of their fog light woes. In today’s
blog, we’ll show you how to prevent it from happening all together. Also, feel free to come in or call us with
ANY questions you might have regarding your vehicle.
So how does it happen? Condensation gets
inside your headlights when the outside temperature goes down and your
headlamps cool off and cooler, moister outside air trickles into the
housings. According to popular
mechanics: “The housings are vented top and bottom to allow for pressure
differences, or they would quickly crack and fail. When the clear plastic lens
is even a little bit cooler than the air inside the housing, droplets of
moisture will condense on the inside of the lens. That’s normal. When the
outside temperatures come back up in the morning, the moisture will evaporate.
“
To
prevent this, there are several ways to stop the condensation:
·
Park in shady, damp areas or in damp underground
parking structures
·
Apply retrofit housing
·
Leave your headlights on while driving for a
couple of hours
·
Remove the housing and dry it out (we can help
with that!)
