Headlight Restoration Service at Chapel Hill Tire


Have you noticed that your headlights seem dim or ineffective? Over time, headlights become opaque when the sun’s UV rays oxidize the acrylic lenses. This poses a number of safety issues as your visibility becomes impaired when you are driving at night or during inclement weather. Headlight issues also make it harder for other drivers to see your car on the road, leaving you vulnerable to accidents.

So what can you do when your headlights become dull and ineffective? Bring them to the experts at Chapel Hill Tire.
