| Description of the problem | No accident or any such thing has happened yet but i think something should be done about the headlights as they are too easily covered with mud while driving on wet roads. I was driving to another city 2 hours away and it got dark out and when i noticed i couldn't really see ahead of me very far and i know the headlights on this car are amazing. So i stopped and sure enough the headlights were all covered with spatter from other vehicles tires splashing the wet road up onto them. Finally after clearin the mud off of the headlights i could see again far in front of me. But not even 30 minutes later did i have to stop again to clear off the headlights so i could see in front of me. |
