Conversations on the topic of bad headlights last from the appearance of forums, and how many years have passed, how much information can be found, and even for each brand and model of the car. But nevertheless, there are always newcomers who are interested in answering their own problems, but looking for laziness. And why do my headlights not shine well? Vangute!
Before asking where such a question, read this article. The reasons will be basic and go in ascending order.
Purity.
The first thing you need to pay attention to is the appearance of the optics. Sometimes they turn, but in fact the headlight needs to be washed first. Are they clean?
Adjustment.
Another main cause of complaints is a banal wrong adjustment. Give your car to the service, who is engaged in adjusting the optics, do not need to turn the adjusting screws and look at the wall.
Lamps.
Before digging somewhere deep, first you should look at the installed lamps. Are you exactly the same as the manufacturer of your car recommends? Go into the kalog and see what kind of lamp should be installed.
The turbidity.
Carefully look at both headlights, do they have a haze or a yellowish tinge? If so, then you have a typical problem. The way out of this situation leads to the polishing of external plastic, it is better to contact the specializing companies.
Reflector.
If the outer part is clean and transparent, there is a possibility of clouding and destruction of the mirror part of the reflector, and maybe it's just dirty. In some cases, washing is suitable, in others polishing or just a replacement.
Confusion from the inside.
This is a similar problem of turbidity, only in this case, it is located inside the headlight, that is, on the inside of the plastic. If the first case is suitable for normal polishing, then this is only the disassembly of the optics, followed by polishing and assembly.
Fogging.
The process is similar to the reflector problem, only in this case it is necessary to simply wipe it. But there is a nuance, it is necessary to disassemble, at the same time to determine the cause of its appearance, and this is another story.
Lens.
The lens, in fact, is a piece of glass of a peculiar shape. Problems with it are the same as with external plastic, cloudiness or pollution. In the first case - a replacement, in the second - cleaning.
