Why do headlights turn yellow, cloudy or foggy?
Headlight lenses are made of plastic. Vehicle exhaust, ozone, acid rain, sun rays, chemicals and road debris all hit the headlight which will cause pitting and an actual chemical alteration of the plastic lens. The foggy and cloudy appearance of the clear substrate is equivalent to the rusting of steel, so, we get the FOGOUTâ„¢ to get a clear view again.
