I believe many car owners have encountered water droplets condensing in the car headlight lens. Foggy headlights will affect the light transmittance of the headlights, making the lighting effect dim. In serious cases, it will be difficult to see the road clearly, and there will be no way to send out correct warning signals, posing a huge hidden danger to driving safety. So, what should we do when the headlights fog up?
First of all, car enthusiasts should not be impatient when they find that their headlights are foggy. Do not use a baking lamp to directly bake the headlights in a hurry. Generally, the headlight covers are made of resin or plastic and can easily be damaged. A large amount of heat will cause it to bake or even crack, and the result will be more harm than good.
Generally speaking, the best way to deal with it is to check the tightness of the headlight assembly, and then turn on the headlights after confirming that they are correct. After about fifteen minutes, use the large amount of heat emitted by the headlight bulbs to evaporate the fog.
If it is judged that the car is not only foggy, but also has water accumulation, then you need to rush to the 4S store or maintenance service agency in time to disassemble the headlights to clean the water accumulation, and check the condition of the headlight assembly. If necessary Re-seal or replace the entire assembly. If the vehicle is still within the warranty period, you can apply for a claim, because this is a quality problem.
If you find that the lamp body is not tightly sealed, you can seal it separately with sealant. Car owners must also be careful not to break the sealing strip when changing the light bulbs themselves. Don't underestimate the small sealing strip, which controls the lifeblood of the headlight. It is recommended that car owners develop the habit of regularly checking their car lights during winter and rainy seasons. For example, it is necessary to inspect the vehicle after it has been waded into water. Early detection and early remediation, and timely elimination of faults in their bud, are the best choices for car maintenance.
Fogging of car lights is affected by many factors. To solve the problem of fogging of headlights, in addition to manufacturers providing better quality headlights "at the source". All car owners should also develop a good habit of regularly checking the car lights, check whether the headlight shades are damaged or cracked, grasp the fogging situation of the headlights in a timely manner, and make reasonable treatment methods to keep your car always having a pair of bright lights.
