    Microcracking / Crazing more often than not is caused by too hard of a clear coat that can’t expand/contract with the lens during temperature fluctuations and or vehicle vibrations. This damage can start from the interior or exterior side. Depending on depth or size can determine the degree of restorability.

  • Flaking Headlights

Severe moisture or condensation inside a headlight assembly can be caused by various factors, including:

  • Damaged seals or O-Rings: Allowing water to enter the housing.

  • Blocked or clogged vents: Preventing proper airflow and causing moisture buildup.

  • Temperature fluctuations: Leading to condensation forming inside the lens.

If left unaddressed, trapped moisture can lead to:

  • Reduced visibility: Diminishing the effectiveness of headlights, especially at night.

  • Electrical issues: Potentially damaging the headlight's wiring and components.

  • Mold or mildew growth can produce unpleasant odors and further damage the assembly.
