AGM Vision may have the best LEDs on the market, but if you buy them from our online store and install them on headlights that are dirty and damaged, you will lose the efficiency and the “wow” effect of our products.  

Most drivers think that quickly cleaning their headlights at the car wash is enough. This may be the case with a new car, but over time, after about two to three months, you need to go further and move from simple cleaning to headlight restoration for safety and, possibly, for aesthetics. How do you restore your car's headlights? We explain our tips and first of all, why your headlights get damaged so quickly.

Headlight restoration: safety and aesthetics

Yellowed or scratched headlights will have direct consequences on the quality of lighting and therefore your safety. The older among us remember when headlights were made of glass, but for reasons of safety, durability, and also cost-effectiveness, manufacturers opted in the 80s for polycarbonate. Indeed, this extremely strong plastic has its advantages. The downside: it tends to deteriorate quickly because the plastic film on its surface is very sensitive to ultraviolet rays and bad weather. Also, it scratches easily during cleaning and daily use.

➡️ A yellowed headlight can result in a loss of efficiency of up to 50% to 80%.
