Headlamp regeneration

The headlamps of our cars are one of the most important parts of it. Their condition not only affects the aesthetic value of the vehicle, but also has a significant impact on the comfort and safety while driving. Over time, each reflector burns out, the aluminum on the reflectors wears out. This process is much faster in lens headlamps than in conventional halogen headlamps. Then the aluminum should be re-sprayed against reflections in special chambers used for metallization in a vacuum. Therefore, if you want to bring your headlights back to life, we invite you to our Auto Gamma showroom, here we will professionally take care of your lamps.

Reasons for the loss of luminous efficiency by a headlamp

The main causes are burned-out, worn out reflectors in the headlamps and dull or dirty top cover of the headlamp. Another common element is when the front glass and housing become unsealed, various types of dirt enter its interior.

Regeneration of car headlights

Headlight restoration is a process in which the headlight must be removed from the car. Then unstick to get to the damaged element. Place the disassembled reflector in the metallization chamber. After the aluminum is properly sprayed, the headlamp can be folded again, glued and installed on the car. In 90% of cases, we have reflectors for lens reflectors in stock, which allows us to speed up the regeneration process.

Car headlight regeneration process

In order to properly carry out the regeneration process of car headlights, in most cases it is necessary to dismantle them. After disassembly, all internal elements are cleaned. It is not recommended to do this on your own without proper knowledge. Without the use of appropriate tools, this process may seem tedious, if at all possible to be done by yourself. You can also easily lose the tightness of the reflector, which will lead to its complete replacement. In addition, the effect will never be as good as the one obtained after visiting a specialist.

The reflector process can be at a stage such as:

  • Cleaning by washing the headlamp inside and out.
  • Dismantling the reflector and removing its old one.
  • Degreasing and preparation for the application of a primer.
  • Reflector cup metallization - vacuum metallization.
  • Polishing the surface of the front glass.
However, if our headlight does not require cleaning, it will not appear. The damaged outer layer is removed and then polished to contain its clear.

Remember, the headlight checking process is the department that checked the headlamp for professionals on headlamps.
