How do I get rid of foggy headlights?

Foggy headlights can make it harder to see at night and can be unsafe. 

The plastic covers on headlights can get cloudy over time because of sunlight, dirt, and road grime. Luckily, fixing them is pretty simple.

One way is to use a headlight cleaning kit. You can find these at auto parts stores, and they come with everything you need to clean and protect your headlights. If you want a quick DIY fix, toothpaste can help. Rub a small amount on the headlights with a soft cloth, then rinse it off and dry them.

To keep your headlights clear, use a sealant or protectant to stop the fogging from coming back. If cleaning doesn’t work, the covers might be too damaged and need to be replaced.

At David’s Automotive Repair, we can clean or replace your headlights so you can see clearly and drive safely. Call or come see us today—we’ll make sure your headlights shine like new!
