Headlight and taillight clouding is a common issue due to the following reasons:

Heat and UV Exposure:
Sunlight causes plastic lenses to yellow o r become hazy over time.

Humidity and Moisture Ingress:
Monsoon rains o r high humidity can allow water to seep inside, creating fogging o r condensation.

Road Dust and Debris:
Driving on dusty o r sandy roads scratches the lens surface, reducing brightness.

Age of Imported Cars:
Used imported Minis often arrive with slightly degraded lenses that worsen under Pakistani sun and heat.

Result:
Clouded o r dim lights reduce night visibility. Lens polishing, UV-resistant coatings, o r lens replacement can restore brightness.
