Question 6547
After a vehicle has been exposed to high temperatures and heat for a prolonged period, is it advisable to check whether its headlights and lights have suffered any deterioration?
- Yes, except in vehicles that are fairly new.
- Yes, to visually check their condition and lighting capacity.
- No, since the headlight finish is made of a material that withstands all kinds of factors without deteriorating.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, to visually check their condition and lighting capacity.
Yes. Sun and heat damage the plastic in headlights and other lights. Over time, it turns yellow or cloudy and lets less light through. If the car has spent a long time in the heat, inspect them and check that they shine properly, even if it is new. In the image, the silver car's headlights are yellowed and cloudy.
