Not sure how well it works but I do notice many cars with headlights tints that looks like burnt toast

im using it last time, it will become yellowish overtime but not your headlamp. End up using wax or special coating.

actually... the burnt ones... (darkish spots in the middle) is the tint itself, not the plastic cover. (read cheap tint)

in our weather/climate.... nvmlah just buy a apsar set of headlights simpan kat rumah away from sunlight and heat. The tin itself has been said to cause more crazing. (but does sort of work keeping the hazing away)

I just clean and polish using cheap polish/wax like once every 1-2 months, good enough and no need tint!

2 of my cars are old school have glass headlamps so no problems......hhahahhahahah

Only the Chery that have plastic headlamps have slightly turn yellow on the top. Since I do DIY detailing will sand it down and polish it up. Just letting it turn more yellow first.....hhahahhahaha

If your car's clear lens is also cheap, then no need to worry about tinting it. This is the case for my Mark X, a pair of clear lens is only like rm100+ so if already got too weathered down, then just replace them with new.

Better check, because some cannot change lens but whole assembly.....

Ya, cheap ones already rm50-60, the 'supposedly better' ones already >rm100, so no forget about it leh! I'd rather spend rm100+ changing to brand new lens, definitely better than whatever unknown tint!

Only my 6 years plus Chery having this problem, but since I am a DIY detailer will sand down and polish on my own......

Re: Tinted headlights - is it works?

One of these days go for a long drive and stop, then touch your headlamp and tell me just how hot it is. Tinting it will trap a lot of that heat and it'll spoil or yellow your plastics unless your headlamps are glass - which is rare.

Don't tint la. Just repair whenever needed and coat and protect with a polish ever so occasionally.
