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!)

you have a tip to add, feel free!
