Einleitung
Over time, a car’s headlights will become foggy or yellow. UV exposure from the sun, road debris, and bulb heat degrade the plastic. A driver’s visibility is significantly reduced and is potentially hazardous to other drivers and pedestrians. This guide can be applied to any headlight made of plastic. A 2007 Nissan Versa is used as a demonstration for the guide.
Before beginning your project, keeping the car in a shaded and well-ventilated area is important. Direct sunlight will negatively affect the clear coat drying time and effectiveness in further steps. Make sure to monitor weather forecasts to avoid working during periods of precipitation.
