Let’s be honest — cloudy headlights don’t seem like a big deal at first. A bit of yellowing, a slight haze, maybe they just look old. But here’s the truth most people overlook: they’re actually a safety hazard, especially on Melbourne’s unpredictable roads.
If you’ve ever squinted your way through a rainy night drive, you’ll know exactly what we mean. When headlights are fogged up or oxidised, they scatter the light instead of projecting it forward — making it harder for you to see, and just as bad, for others to see you.
So what causes that foggy look?
A few things: UV exposure, road grime, car washes, and even the weather. Over time, the protective coating on your headlights breaks down, and suddenly you’re left with dull, hazy lenses that barely cut through the dark.
The real danger of ignoring it
You might still get by in the daytime, but when night falls or the weather turns, that low visibility can increase stopping distances and reduce your reaction time. It’s the kind of thing you only notice after something goes wrong — and by then, it’s too late.
Think about it: you’re driving a well-maintained car with good tyres and brakes… but your headlights can barely light up 10 metres ahead? That’s not just an inconvenience — that’s a risk.
So, what’s the fix?
The good news? You don’t need to replace your headlights. Restoration is faster, cheaper, and just as effective — especially when done right.
