See the Light: Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Your Cloudy Headlights

Have you noticed your night drives feeling a bit... dim? Maybe your car is looking older than it actually is because of yellowed, hazy lenses. Whether they’ve turned a foggy white or a dull mustard yellow, cloudy headlights are more than just an eyesore—they’re a safety hazard.

At Jiffy Lube®, our headlight cleaning service is designed to be a quick, convenient fix to restore both the look and the literal "outlook" of your vehicle.

Why Do Headlights Get Cloudy?
It’s not just dirt from the road. Most modern headlights are made of polycarbonate plastic. While durable, this material has a few natural enemies:
  • UV Rays: Constant exposure to the sun breaks down the plastic’s outer coating.
  • Road Grit: Small debris and exhaust chemicals act like sandpaper, pitting the surface.
  • Oxidation: Over time, these factors lead to that dreaded "cloudy" look that blocks your light output.
How Our Restoration Process Works
You don’t need to replace the entire headlight assembly to get that factory-fresh glow back. Our technicians use a professional-grade process to bring them back to life:
  1. Deep Cleaning: We use specialized solvents to break down stubborn stains and surface oxidation.
  2. Precision Tools: Using professional cleaning tools, we buff away the hazy layer that a standard car wash simply can't touch.
  3. Clarity Restoration: We aim to maximize the amount of light hitting the road, ensuring you can see—and be seen—clearly.
Safety First: Your headlights are a primary safety feature. Restoring them isn't just about "curb appeal"; it’s about ensuring you have maximum visibility during night driving and inclement weather.
