In autumn and winter, the headlights and other lights of the car get dirty quickly due to the fact that the roads are polluted with mud. The range of the headlights drops sharply, which negatively affects safety.

In the "dark" season, the headlights have to be cleaned frequently. Studies in Germany have shown that car headlights are 60 percent dirty. in just half an hour of driving in heavily polluted road surfaces. The layer of dirt on the windows of the lanterns absorbs so much light that their visible range it is reduced to 35 m. This means that in dangerous situations the driver has a much shorter distance, for example, to stop the car. In addition, dirt particles scatter headlights uncontrollably, blinding oncoming traffic, increasing the risk of an accident.

The headlight cleaning system is very beneficial. Sprinklers are now common, directing high-pressure washer fluid to the headlights. Systems Bulb cleaning is required only on vehicles with xenon headlights. The lamp cleaning system is usually connected to the windshield washers.

In many new car models, headlight washers can be ordered as an accessory when buying a new car.

In vehicles not equipped with this system, drivers must stop regularly and manually clean the bulbs. It is also important to clean the rear lights from time to time. Abrasive sponges and cloths can damage the glass surface of the rear combination lamps.
