Studies have shown that 1 out of 6
automobiles will require headlight replacement due to damage from
road debris. Headlights used to be standardized sealed beams and
inexpensive to replace, but as manufacturers began designing
headlights as an integral part of the aerodynamic and aesthetic
design of vehicles, they became "non-standardized". These
replacement lights are only available at car dealerships and
therefore have become increasingly expensive, not to mention the
high cost of shop labor for installation. The average cost of a
single headlamp today is over $300.00 and whether your headlights
are glass or plastic, they are prone to damage from road debris in
one form or another. Glass lenses can easily break or crack causing
moisture to accumulate inside the capsule which eventually results
in bulb failure, while plastic lenses often become dull and hazy
from constant exposure to road debris and the elements. |
