Why would anyone in the right mind cover anything on their car, let alone cover their headlights? In reality why don’t car owners cover their cars? At least cover the windshield, preventing the sun’s damaging UV rays from cracking that expensive dashboard. Cover the headlights with Headlight Shades to prevent the plastic, or clear coat in some cases, from being damaged, causing it to turn yellow, develop micro cracks. Cover Car Headlights Like Covering Windshield. Making your vehicle look dated, and making it unsafe to drive at night from the lack of headlight lighting.

Let’s say that safety is the last thing on your list. What about the looks? I remember having two cars that I purchased used. One of the cars was a Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG, and the other one was a VW Jetta. They both looked ok for the first few weeks, then the yellowing and fading surfaced on the lenses. The CLK55 was purchased from a local Mercedes-Benz dealer, which had restored the headlights on the car professionally. While the Jetta was purchased from a private owner, who had done the headlight restoration on his own.

I ended up restoring the headlights on both cars on my own, the sealing the restoration with a good sealer and wax. At that point, they lasted another month. The headlight fading came back, as the sealer washed away from rain, washing the car, and plain being exposed to the elements.

The VW Jetta had regular headlights, nothing special. On the other hand, the Mercedes-Benz CLK55 had fairly expensive HID headlights that would have made the car tank in value if the headlights were replaced with Chinese headlight replicas, requiring cutting of the OEM wires for fitment.

I’ve learned my lesson, the first thing I do when purchasing a new or used vehicle, is get headlight shades to protect the headlights while the car is parked outside all day. Also make sure I use my existing windshield cover to protect the interior while the car sits simmers outside, exposed to the elements all day.
