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 $400 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 |
