Headlight restoration and maintenance
When you are driving, over 90% of your decisions depend on what you see outside, in front of you. Sunlight, sand, abrasives, ice and salt can rapidly damage your headlight lenses. Headlights lose their lighting effectiveness sometimes up to 50 % after only a few years of use.
According to a CAA-Quebec study*:
- 30 % of vehicles show obvious or very serious signs of headlight opacity
- Damaged lenses can reduce headlights’ lighting effectiveness by up to 50%
- A motorist travelling 50 km/h at night will have four more seconds to react to an emergency if the headlights are in good condtion and undamaged
- Drivers with headlights in good condtion can see road signs 60 metres sooner than with damaged headlights, the improvement in visibility varies from 92% to 1200%
CAA-Quebec recommends dealing with a specialized company to have your headlights checked every three years and have them renewed or restored when needed for best visibility.
