The role of the cabochon

Previously made of glass, it is now made of very resistant plastic. The cabochon has a dual role. If it was originally only used to protect the internal bulb of the headlight, it is currently used to diffuse the light completely. The lens is specially designed so that the light from the headlight or fire is perfectly diffused and visible from a distance without dazzling. Its structure is thus perfectly studied so that the light can be reflected on the entire cabochon. The lens can thus refract the main lights and headlights in general, but also the positioning and indicator lights.

Cleaning and maintaining the cabochons

The cabochon does not require any special maintenance, however, for your safety, remember to clean them. The cabochon can thus only half fulfill its role if it is dirty or if it has lost its shine. The major causes that reduce the brightness of your bulbs are the effects of the sun's UV rays on the lens. Lens that are not or no longer waterproof can also harm your lights by causing mist and humidity. It is easy to clean them with specially designed products. In the event of a crack, it is best to replace them to prevent the crack from spreading. Replacing the part requires dismantling the entire headlight, you will need the appropriate tools for any replacement.
