This is a 2001 Nissan Maxima with 250 THOUSAND miles. The car owner is a friend of mine. Three months ago I asked if she could see the road at night with the headlights in that condition and recomended restoration. She responded that she drives with her high beams to see what she can and that she was about to get a new car . My thought and response to that strategy was that she better make sure that her license, registration, and insurance are up to date, because that’s what the officer will ask for when he stops you for riding around with your “brights” on. She said, “Nah, they’re not bright enough for that!” Well, guess what? She got pulled over and ticketed for failure to dim and no proof of insurance. She could not find her card. As innocent as it is, police officers will use “Falure to Dim” as a legal reason to make a traffic stop. That’s where it starts and who knows where it ends. I advised this car owner to let I SEE restore her headlights and to show up in court with the receipt for her headlights being restored so she doesn’t have to drive with her brights, and of course to present her insurance card, and odds are the judge will dismiss the charges. She goes to court this week. I’ll post the results. The moral of this story is: Safety and compliance with the law. No matter how old or how many miles are on your beloved car, restore your headlights with I SEE Mobile Headlight Restoration. For about the price of an oil change you can avoid a costly traffic stop because you HAD to use your high beams due to corroded, distorted headlights.
