Care Information - Lens Replacement

How to look after your headlight after a lens replacement, so your new lens stays clear and sealed.

Straight after the service

You can use your car as normal as soon as your headlight is back with you. Your new lens is fully sealed and has been put through our in-house function, water and pressure testing before it leaves us.

Misting in the first few weeks

For the first 2 to 4 weeks, the air inside the headlight settles to match the outside temperature and humidity.

NormalLight misting at the edges or corners in cold or damp weather, or after washing, that clears once the lights have been on for a while.
Not normalWater droplets across the lens, heavy fogging that doesn't clear, or water pooling inside. Contact us straight away.

Washing

  • Hand washing with a car shampoo is fine from day one.
  • If you use a jet wash, keep the nozzle at least 30cm from the headlight and don't aim it at the edge where the lens meets the housing.
  • Avoid automatic car washes with brushes for the first week.

Cleaning the lens

Your new lens has a UV protective coating that helps stop yellowing and hazing. To keep it:

  • Clean it with a soft microfibre cloth, water and a mild car shampoo.
  • Don't use solvents (petrol, thinners, acetone, alcohol), glass cleaner, or harsh wheel or bug cleaners on the lens.
  • Don't use abrasive polishes, cutting compounds or headlight restoration kits. They remove the UV coating and the lens will yellow faster.

Don't remove caps, stickers or seals

Leave every cap, sticker and seal on the headlight in place, and don't open or modify the headlight. Doing so voids your warranty.

Fitting

  • If we fitted your headlight, raise any fitting issue within 7 days. After that, normal fitting charges apply.
  • If you or your garage are refitting it, make sure every cap and connector is refitted correctly.
  • We recommend having the beam aim checked after refitting.

2 year warranty

Your lens replacement is covered for 2 years on all services and workmanship. Raise any cosmetic concern within 72 hours of receiving your headlight. The warranty doesn't cover tampering, mishandling, accident damage, or installation error if not fitted by us. Read the full warranty.
