Seeing clearly
Sunday, October 16th, 2011The headlights on my 2002 VW Golf started losing brightness quite some time ago. Initially, I assumed that road salt had accumulated on them, so I gave them a good scrubbing. While that helped, the lens plastic had lost its clarity and become milky and even a bit yellow. It made my car look old and cataracty.
Today, I bought a polish kit that promised to help. Below are before and after shots. Although the lighting is quite different—the sun came out while I was polishing—I think the pictures show a noticeable improvement along the opaque-translucent-transparent spectrum. I can’t wait to do some night driving!
