A Sturgeon Bay auto repair technician has an important safety tip you might have never even imagined could be a problem.

Randy Sahs, owner of Sahs Auto Collision and Service Center, sees cloudy or yellow headlights every week and that diminishes nighttime vision.  It’s especially common with vehicles between eight and fifteen years old.

Sahs says the plastic covering light bulbs deteriorates from the UV rays of the sun.

You can avoid the damage to your headlights by parking away from the sun or in covered areas.
