There are several products at the Highway 58 Ace Hardware store, devoted to brushing up your high beams. But only one of them comes from Chattanooga.

The farther South you go, the more headlights yellow and cloud, says Chris Watts, creator of the Headlight Renew Doctor. And it's just been a great opportunity to be in a Southern city.

Watts' headlight renewal kit, scrubs the yellow tint off older headlights with a sandpaper block and several different grades of sandpaper.

The owner of the car probably drives around with their high beams on and nobody blinks at them, because this will decrease visibility by 50 percent, Watts says about the car he used to demonstrate his product.
