General Motors service bulletin No. 02-08-001, headlamp and headlight cleaner

Chemical and environmental damage has been found to easily occur to the polycarbonate headlamp lenses.  According to bulletin No. 02-08-001, shops and customers should be aware of chemical and environmental damage to exterior polycarbonate headlamp lenses, found on most late-model vehicles. This material is used for its resistance to high impacts and temperatures. The material is also sensitive to a variety of chemicals, causing cracking or “crazing” and numerous environmental factors that can result in yellowing, hazy and cloudiness, and reduced or blocked light emission.

Even GM, one of the largest and oldest automotive manufacturers in the world, has noticed that polycarbonate or plastic headlight lenses can easily be damaged by a number of factors, from heat and high temperature to chemicals and acid rain.   Plastic headlights or headlamps (as GM refers to them) are just as susceptible or even more so than the paint, rubber and other parts of your car.  This has even been studied in great length by the National Institute for Highway Safety and it has been found that the effective useful lifespan of the typical plastic headlight lens is only 2 to 3 years maximum before light emission and safety are at serious risk.  Many trial attorneys are currently researching this headlight problem to see if it might warrant a class action as it does result in a dangerous situation – how is a driver to know when their lenses are no longer safe when there are no guideline?

What can be done about cloudy or worn headlights?  It used to be that the only option was a very expensive replacement at your local dealer ($400 average for both lenses plus installation labor) or ill fitting and cheaply made aftermarket lenses that were not much cheaper.  Now there is a proven effective and patented alternative that is actually included in most auto manufacturers service bulletins like GM, Ford, Chrysler, etc… – MDWholesale.com’s New Lite Headlight Cleaner, Restoration and Repair.
