We have had a number of questions this month about night visibility after application of the Headlight Armor smoked headlight films. Do smoked headlights reduce visibility? How do smoked headlight affect visibility? How do headlights look with headlight tint t night? And so on.

A number of years ago we put together a night testing series. Full photos on the site here:
https://www.headlightarmor.com/night...t-testing.aspx

We included a head on view and a view of the road / beam pattern. All photos were done with the same vehicle, parked in the same spot on the same night. Included are photos of the Clear, HID Blue, GT Yellow, Light Smoke, and Smoke.

For some daytime photos we have a smoked headlight gallery on the site here:
https://www.headlightarmor.com/insta...eadlights.aspx

For everyday use our recommendation is the Light Smoke. Tones down the chrome on a headlight with a lot of bright-work, and on a dark / black housing headlights will look even darker. This option while not ‘blacked out’ will achieve the smoked look, while preserving the most output of the smoked options by a wide margin.

As always please let us know if you have any questions.

This story popped up as a suggested story when I opened a browser window the other day and thought it was a good share, though the story does have some inaccuracies..

Cnets Video: Hazy headlights can be cured

Quote:
Insider Secrets:
Ideally, you won't find yourself needing to do this at all so keep these tips in mind:
UV radiation from the sun seems to be the main culprit in headlight hazing. Park your car indoors or, if that's not possible, at least park with the front end under shade.
Replacing the headlight assembly on many cars is very easy. (On many late model Porsches its much easier than changing the oil.) If your headlights are really bad consider replacing them with a clean used set off eBay for the local junkyard.
Know that when you polish your headlights as we've done, you may be removing an original surface protective coating, but clearly it failed or you wouldn't have done this in the first place.*
UV radiation on its own is not the issue with current headlights. All current headlights we are aware of have a hard UV coating from the factory. Never driving the car and parking it in the sun is not going to rapidly age your headlights. Once you start driving (without a protective barrier like Headlight Armor applied) you start micro pitting the surface with sand and road debris impacts. These impacts erode the UV coating causing the hazing shown in the video.

When you polish the headlight you are acting to remove the factory UV coating. You NEED to apply a UV coating and or a headlight protection film like Headlight Armor in order to help keep the surface clean and clear longer term.

Thank you to all the Veterans out there!

President Woodrow Wilson: To us in America the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with - solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service, and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of nations.


My we continue to strive for peace!

Some questions over the weekend came in about how and how quick is the free domestic shipping we are offering is.

All Headlight & Smoked Taillight kit orders ship via USPS Priority Mail. Typically about a week or so from the time you place your order until you receive them during the holiday crush – Even if you are far flung like AK, HI, GU, and PR – yes all of the USA and its territories qualify for domestic free shipping!

Hot to trot and need your order ASAP? USPS Express Mail is back as an option. 1-2 day transit guarantee from USPS.

As always, please let us know if you have any questions.
